Different devices, same headaches
Ask operators across any of these industries what keeps them up at night, and you'll hear the same five answers.
Unattended by Design
Most devices in the field have no IT staff nearby to reboot, patch, or reset them when something goes wrong.
Unreliable Networks
Store Wi-Fi drops, cellular fails in warehouses, and remote sites lose signal for hours at a stretch.
Mixed Hardware Fleets
Fleets accumulate five OEMs, three Android versions, and hardware nobody quite remembers ordering.
Sites You'll Never Visit
Hundreds of locations, one truck roll away from a $200 service call to fix a $5 problem.
Compliance That Doesn't Pause
PCI, HIPAA, and data-residency requirements apply whether or not anyone's watching the device. See how we handle it in our Trust Centre.
In depth
Built for the environment you run
Same platform. Different lockdown rules, alert thresholds, and workflows for the way each industry actually operates.
01
Vending Machines
Unattended retail lives or dies on uptime. Hive keeps every vending machine online, stocked with current software, and recovering from faults before a customer ever sees an error screen. Monitoring & Alerts catches it first.
- Zero-touch provisioning for machines shipped straight from the OEM
- Kiosk lockdown for payment apps, telemetry, and vending software
- Real-time cash, coil, and payment-terminal health signals
- Automatic reboot and app-restart workflows for common faults
- Route- and location-based grouping for technician dispatch
02
Retail & POS
Store-level fleets mix registers, self-checkout, and handheld scanners across dozens of locations. Hive locks down payment devices and pushes updates in the maintenance window your store managers actually want, backed by Security & Compliance built for PCI environments.
- Store, region, and banner-level device organisation
- Payment-app and self-checkout kiosk lockdown
- Scheduled app and OS updates in off-hours maintenance windows
- Receipt printer, scanner, and cash-drawer peripheral monitoring
- Store-opening device-readiness checklists
03
Hospitality
Guest-facing tablets, check-in kiosks, and back-of-house handhelds all need to look flawless and never lock a guest out. Hive resets devices between guests and organises every property under one fleet tree your front-desk team never has to touch.
- Guest-facing kiosk lockdown with automatic session reset
- Branded launcher for check-in, room-service, and concierge apps
- Scheduled reboots between shifts and guest turnovers
- Remote support for front-desk and housekeeping devices
- Multi-property and multi-brand organisation structure
04
Field Services
Technicians carry devices into basements, rural sites, and dead zones, and still need current work orders and policies. Hive queues updates for the next connection and gets a technician's device back online through Remote Support instead of routing them to a service desk.
- Offline-tolerant policy and app sync for intermittent connectivity
- Configuration profiles scoped by technician role or region
- Remote diagnostics without waiting for the device to return
- Location history for dispatch and asset recovery
- Automated check-in reporting to your dispatch platform
05
OEM & Custom Android
Building Android hardware means owning fleet management too, or partnering with someone who's already solved it. Hive's platform-signed agent ships preinstalled on your devices and plugs straight into AOSP and custom-ROM builds.
- Preinstalled or platform-signed management agent
- AOSP and custom-ROM compatibility, no GMS dependency required
- OEM SDK and peripheral integrations for custom hardware commands
- White-label console options for hardware and reseller partners
- Compatibility test suite and device certification programme

Customer proof
"We stopped thinking about our vending fleet, our POS fleet, and our signage network as three different problems. It's one console, one team, and a lot fewer trucks on the road."
