Rotas, clock-in, holidays, payslips and staff comms for all your sites in one place —
for less than you pay Connecteam for one.
Built by an operator running 5 forecourts & 150+ staff. Used in my own businesses every day.
Built for UK shift-based businesses
I'm Scott — I run two Amazon delivery depots, three Shell forecourts, and 130+ shift workers across them. I tried Connecteam, Deputy and the rest. They were either too expensive, missing UK essentials (HMRC Starter Checklists, Right to Work expiry, payslip delivery), or designed for offices in California.
So I built WorkHive for me — then realised every other UK SME owner was getting the same raw deal. Every feature exists because I needed it on Monday morning. No fluff, no upsell hubs, no per-seat trap.
I'll be honest with you: WorkHive is early, and I'm building it in the open — with the people who use it. If something's missing or could be better, tell me and there's a real chance it ships that week. You're not buying finished software from a faceless vendor; you're shaping a tool with an operator who's in the same trenches as you.
Used daily at SJC Distributions & SJC Fuel Services — and improved every week from real feedback.
Honest pricing. UK-first compliance. Built by someone who runs his own depots and petrol stations.
Pricing comparison based on Connecteam Advanced Plan (50 staff, billed annually) and Deputy Premium (50 staff, billed monthly), as published on each vendor's website May 2026. Feature presence verified against each vendor's public documentation.
Managers run the operation from the dashboard. Staff get a no-training mobile app.
No competitor has this stack. AI doesn't replace your managers, it gives every site one.
"Build next week's rota" → AI drafts it in 10 seconds from past 4 weeks + holidays + contracted hours. You review and publish.
Describe a form ("daily till handover"), AI builds it. Staff submit photos, AI cross-checks vs typed numbers, flags fraud or missing receipts.
Knows UK employment law + ACAS Code. Drafts disciplinary letters, return-to-work scripts, probation reviews — referenced to your actual staff.
Upload PDF → AI auto-extracts gross / net / tax / NI / hours. No data entry, no typos.
Daily anomaly scan — late patterns, ghost shifts, sickness on same weekday, no-shows, hours mismatch. Surfaced before payroll runs.
Floating ✨ help button on every page. "How do I cancel a holiday?" / "Where do I see no-shows?" — instant click-by-click answers.
No upselling you onto a "Communications hub" or a "Skills hub". One subscription, the lot.

Connecteam is built for the US market and bolts UK on later. Pricing balloons above 30 users. They charge for three separate "hubs". They don't deliver UK payslips, don't do HMRC Starter Checklists, don't track Right to Work expiry without paying for a separate hub. We do all of it for less.
Yes. Set up a tablet at your site as a clock-in kiosk. Staff tap their photo and enter a 4-digit PIN. Works without anyone needing a personal device.
WorkHive flags WTR risks automatically — when a driver approaches the 48-hour weekly average, when they don't have 11 hours between shifts, when a 6-hour shift has no break logged. Compliance gold dust if you ever face a tribunal.
