For continuous improvement
Your people see the waste every shift. What stops them telling you is not motivation, it is the form, the login and the silence afterwards. Hives removes all three.
It needs a login nobody has
Half your workforce has no company email and no laptop. A tool that starts with a corporate account excludes the people standing closest to the problem.
The ideas live in a spreadsheet
Notes from a team meeting, photos in a group chat, a form that lands in somebody's inbox. None of it is a queue, so nothing has an owner and nothing gets tracked.
Nobody heard what happened
The improvement got made and nobody told the person who suggested it. Do that twice and the suggestions stop arriving.
How it works for continuous improvement
The same platform as the overview, arranged for people who are not at a desk: contribute in two minutes from a phone, then track every improvement to a decision and an impact.
Step 1 · Reach
Print the code by the line, share a link in Teams, or send it by email. People contribute from their own phone in about two minutes, with no company account and no training session. That is the difference between a programme the floor uses and one it only hears about.
Step 2 · Triage
Every submission lands in the same list with a step, an owner and a next action, so a shift supervisor can sort a morning's ideas in minutes. Duplicates get flagged instead of debated twice. Across our customers 89% of ideas reach a decision, which is the number the floor actually notices.
Step 3 · Prove it
Ideas per site, decision rates, admin time saved and value delivered, in a report you can put on a wall or in front of a plant manager. Linköping Municipality collected 200 ideas in three months and cut the admin time on their programme by 66%.
Nothing for IT to install and nothing to roll out. Most teams are collecting within two to four weeks.
Get a demoYes, and that is the point. A QR code by the line, a link in Teams, or the mobile app: contributing takes about two minutes from a personal phone with no company account required. SSO for Microsoft and Google is there for the people who do have accounts.
Setting Hives up is configuration, not an implementation project. You name owners, write the first challenge and brief reviewers, and most of the two to four weeks is your own internal work rather than ours. Pricing is published from 695 euro a month, so there is nothing to negotiate before you can compare it with what you have.
A suggestion box collects. This closes the loop. Every improvement gets a step, an owner and a decision the contributor can see, and the report at the end tells you which sites are improving and what it was worth. That visibility is why 89% of ideas reach a decision rather than a drawer.
