Blue Hive

What Blue Hive does

Blue Hive Inc. (DBA: Bluehive Business Solutions) is a Quezon City, Philippines-based private software development and IT solutions firm founded in 2012. The company delivers custom software, web and mobile applications, cloud and database management, network and security infrastructure, system integration, and managed business email and cloud hosting services to SMEs, corporations, and local government units across verticals including retail, hospitality, healthcare, e-commerce, logistics, and real estate. Its technology stack spans Java/J2EE, PHP (Laravel, CodeIgniter), JavaScript/Node.js/Angular/React, mobile (Xcode, Android Studio, Flutter, React), AWS cloud infrastructure, and databases (MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis), with co-marketing relationships with AWS, Sophos, Cisco, Dell, HP, Honeywell, Ubiquiti, and others used as credibility signals.

Blue Hive's commercial model blends project-based professional services with a small base of subscription products. Custom system, web, and mobile development engagements are quoted on a per-project estimation basis driven by a "Get an Estimation" tool on the company website; managed business email is sold at 149 PHP per mailbox per month; and AWS-backed cloud hosting is positioned as managed infrastructure with a 99.9999% uptime guarantee. The company also distributes a catalog of pre-built products and hardware — Interactive Displays, Self Ordering Kiosks, Queueing Systems, Inventory System, Bar Alcohol Auditing, Expo Mobile App, Coffee Shop Wifi, and AI-themed offerings (Artificial Intelligence, Smart AI Archiving) — primarily to Philippine SMEs and select enterprise accounts such as Seiko, BriefCam, Dainese, Hayabusa, and Venum.

Distribution is entirely direct, with no marketplace, reseller, or app store presence. Demand generation relies on organic SEO, company blog content (e.g., 2020 ecommerce predictions), and direct outreach through phone, email, and the contact form. The firm is privately held with no disclosed investors, no funding rounds, and a single Quezon City office. Operational scale remains small at 1-10 employees after 8+ years, and revenue is not publicly disclosed, positioning Blue Hive as a local-services consultancy rather than a scalable software product business.
