How AI is used
Hive Drive is an AI-based receptionist and CRM tool designed for the landscaping and trade industries. It acts as a first point of contact by answering calls, pre-screening potential clients, and booking site visits directly into the user's calendar.
The software is intended for small to mid-sized business owners who are often interrupted by phone calls while on job sites. By using custom scripts to qualify leads based on location and job scope, it helps filter inquiries before they reach the business owner's schedule.
Beyond call handling, the platform includes CRM tools such as a visual sales pipeline and automated follow-up reminders. Higher-tier plans also provide website upgrades and social media management tools to help with online visibility.
Buyers should confirm if the required onboarding process—which includes a 45-minute call and a business survey—fits their current timeline for deployment.
