Hive

Building routines together. 

Hive leverages existing community centers and relationships to connect consumers with products quickly and reduce costs associated with last mile delivery. It provides financial benefits for the local businesses by offering an alternative revenue stream through partnerships with distribution centers but also creates and strengthens consumer-business routines.
