HiveSMART · Offer
PE-backed and multi-site operating infrastructure.
After a close, an add-on, or a unit expansion, the operating layer is what determines whether the thesis lands. HiveSMART builds it and runs alongside the team until it sticks.
Who it's for
PE sponsors, portcos, and multi-site operators, restaurant groups, healthcare clinics, multi-location services and retail, under integration or growth pressure.
What growth pressure it solves
Post-close integration is stalling. Field cadence is inconsistent unit to unit. GMs operate to different standards. Unit economics drift. Reporting to the board is harder than it should be.
What HiveSMART helps build
Operating cadence, field rhythm, GM systems, unit economics discipline, integration playbooks, and the executive-to-field communication layer that holds a multi-site business together.
Who should book it
The operating partner, CEO, or COO accountable to a value-creation plan that depends on multi-site performance.

FAQ
- Do you work with PE sponsors directly?
- Yes. HiveSMART partners with sponsors and portcos on post-close integration, operating cadence, and the people and field systems that drive repeatable unit performance.
- Is this a 100-day plan?
- It can be. More often it's an embedded operating partnership through the first several quarters after a close or roll-up, until the operating cadence is self-sustaining.
- Do you work multi-site brands outside PE?
- Yes. Founder-owned multi-site operators, restaurants, retail, services, healthcare, call HiveSMART for the same operating infrastructure work.
