OurHive Labs

Building the software is no longer the hard part.

Knowing what to build, in what order, and keeping it coherent as it grows is. So is running it. OurHive Labs does that work for organizations with many locations, on OurHive Community.

Talk to us What we do

Every organization runs on workflows nobody wrote down. Software used to cost too much to fit them. Now it's cheap to build, so the hard part has moved.

01

Knowing what to build

The work worth automating is rarely visible from outside. You find it by sitting with the people who do it.

02

Keeping it coherent

Cheap building produces many versions of the same thing. Someone has to hold the design together as it grows.

03

Running it

A workflow has to work on real data every day, long after the demo is over.

How Labs works

We write the thinking down, build from the writing, and run what we build.

  1. 1

    Embed

    We work beside the people who do the work until we can describe it better than the handbook does.

  2. 2

    Decide

    We rank workflows by what they cost today and what they return once automated, and say what we're leaving for later.

  3. 3

    Specify

    Each workflow becomes a written specification with every branch named, tested against your own records.

  4. 4

    Build

    AI agents build from the specification. People review the design and the result.

  5. 5

    Run

    It goes live beside the old way, watched and read-only until you say otherwise.

  6. 6

    Extend

    The next workflow sits on the same base, so you end up with one system.

What we do

Your workflows, at every location.

Custom workflows
The processes every location runs, built into OurHive once and used at all of them.
Integrations
Member lists, payments and calendars from the systems you already use.
Every location
Each location runs its own community. Headquarters sees all of them.
Your brand
Your name, your look and your own app in the app stores.

Where it shows up: Franchises, daycare and preschool chains, studio and tutoring franchises, senior living operators, youth sports leagues.

How an engagement runs

One workflow first, on your own data.

  1. 1

    Discover

    We work inside your organization.

    You get

    A ranked list of workflows, with what each costs today and what automating it returns.

  2. 2

    Pilot

    One workflow, on your own data. Labs only reports, and changes nothing.

    You get

    A working system beside the old one, and the written specification that defines it.

  3. 3

    Operate

    The workflow runs as a service. Labs does more on its own only when you allow it in writing.

    You get

    Labs watching it, fixing it and answering for it.

  4. 4

    Extend

    The next workflow is built on the same base.

    You get

    One system that grows a workflow at a time.

Anything that changes money, prices or what members see waits for your approval. The specification, the tests and the write-up of your work belong to you, and they leave with you.

The team

Who you work with.

The lead

One person owns your engagement and stays with it from discovery through operation.

Delivery

Engineers build from the specification with AI agents and review the result, so the building is fast and the review is thorough.

Specialists on call

Design, data, security, quality and your own field, brought in for the weeks the work needs them.
