Frequently asked questions

SiteHive is proven, tested technology in an industry-first application.
It's our 100% automated, plug-and-play solution for any construction project

  • How do we control spend if it's automated?

    As the implementer, you have full control of the product category selection in your SiteHive, and control over what operatives are allowed access to the store. Cameras, sensors, and advanced AI picks up every movement of operatives in the store, and ensures items are fully tracked to the right person.

  • How reliable is the AI?

    SiteHive uses proprietary software that is proven and tested in other industries, including retail. Whilst some solutions only rely on camera input, we collect multiple data points from sensors and scales alongside image capture, giving 99%+ transaction accuracy.

  • Can multiple operatives be in a SiteHive at one time?

    Yes! Multiple operatives can be in the SiteHive at any given moment, and the software will still be able to differentiate between people whilst they pick up, put down, and checkout of the SiteHive.

  • What about capturing PO numbers or cost codes?

    Before leaving, operatives see everything they've picked up on the exit tablet, and can be prompted to enter a PO number or cost code. We can even show a list of available options for different operatives.

  • Does it work for lightweight products?

    Yes, even down to a single pair of gloves. SiteHive combines cameras, sensors and scales to ensure every item is identified correctly and assigned to the operative, for products from 10g up to 2,000kg pallets.

  • Can SiteHive hold long, bulky or heavy items?

    Yes. Alongside shelving and pegboard, SiteHive can be fitted with cantilever racking for pipe, conduit and timber, tool buckets for long-handled tools, and in 40ft units weight-tracked pallet bays of up to 2,000kg each, with a separate access-controlled door for forklift loading.

  • How does SiteHive help with training and COSHH?

    Any product can be flagged as needing a toolbox talk or competency, and operatives must view and acknowledge that training on the exit tablet before they can finish. When an order includes a chemical product, the tablet automatically offers to email the safety data sheet to the operative.

  • What if our operatives don't speak English as a first language?

    The exit tablet can be switched to Polish, Romanian, Portuguese, Lithuanian or Chinese, as well as English, from the welcome screen.

  • What if an operative can't find what they need?

    They can send a special item request from the exit tablet. It goes to their manager for approval, rather than straight into an order, so you stay in control of spend.

  • How often is a SiteHive restocked?

    Replenishment is driven by live stock levels, so we restock based on what your operatives actually use rather than a fixed delivery cycle. Critical lines can have minimum levels set, and we agree the replenishment plan with you at implementation.

  • Can SiteHive track tools and equipment?

    Yes, with ToolTrack. Serialised tools are RFID and Bluetooth tagged, checked out to named operatives, inspected on return, and geotagged around site, with alerts for overdue returns and certification dates. Discover ToolTrack

  • What does a site need to host a SiteHive?

    A level, firm area for the container, access for a HIAB or crane delivery, a power supply, and a mobile data connection. Where mains power is limited, we can discuss generator or solar-assisted options, and satellite connectivity for remote sites. We'll confirm everything during a site survey.

  • How is operative data protected?

    SiteHive data is processed in line with UK GDPR. Camera footage is used to attribute pickups to the right operative, and we agree signage, retention periods and access to data with you as part of implementation, including support for your own data protection impact assessment.

  • Is SiteHive unique to CMT Group?

    Yes, SiteHive is an industry-first solution we've developed over almost 3 years. It's the only 100% automated, no-scan solution - meaning less downtime, no waiting for order confirmation, and very simple install.

  • What support is in place if an operative has issues?

    We offer direct support with a dedicated 24/7 team for any technical issues. For product and account support, the account management team can be spoken to directly from the unit via video call, phoned, or emailed.

  • Can you integrate SiteHive to our procurement system?

    Yes, we can integrate to almost any procurement system as part of the implementation process. Our procurement platform, EDGE, powers the data and cloud infrastructure behind SiteHive - meaning we can pull contract numbers, budgets, PO numbers, cost codes, and more - as well as integrated GRNs, eInvoices and PODs. See all integrations

  • What reporting is available?

    As you can imagine, the data SiteHive stores is wide ranging. We can report on purchases, pick-ups and put-downs, operatives who have not purchased, visits to each SiteHive, CO2 impact reporting, and hundreds more. See all reporting

Reporting on site spend just got easy.
