Lock down every register

From self-checkout kiosks to handheld scanners, Hive keeps every POS device provisioned, locked down, and running the software your store needs, without a technician standing behind the counter.

In depth

Built for the counter, not the backend

01

Payment-App & Kiosk Lockdown

Lock a register or self-checkout unit to exactly the payment and POS software it needs to run: nothing else launches, nothing else is reachable.

  • Single-app kiosk mode for POS and payment software
  • Hardware-button and settings-menu restrictions
  • Branded lockdown profiles, store by store
  • Secure admin exit for store managers and technicians
02

Maintenance-Window Deployments

Push POS software, pricing engines, and OS updates after close, never during a rush, with rollouts staged store by store.

  • Scheduled deployment windows per store or region
  • Staged rollouts with pilot groups
  • Automatic rollback on failed updates
  • Deployment status visible device by device
03

Printer & Peripheral Monitoring

Receipt printers, barcode scanners, and cash drawers fail quietly until a line forms. Hive tracks their health alongside every other device signal.

  • Receipt printer and scanner connectivity monitoring
  • Cash-drawer and peripheral fault alerts
  • Real-time device health dashboard
  • Custom alert routing to store operations
04

Remote Support

When a register locks up mid-transaction, your team connects to it directly: no waiting on a technician to reach the store.

  • Unattended remote control for any POS device
  • Live screen view for real-time troubleshooting
  • Remote app restart and cache clearing
  • Full session audit trail

"We used to send a technician every time a self-checkout lane froze. Now it restarts itself before the queue even notices, and when it doesn't, my team is looking at the screen almost immediately."
