Market management software was overdue for a reality check. We’re just that.
Farmers market managers and festival organizers have been running successful community institutions on spreadsheets, reply-all email chains, and sheer willpower for decades. The software that existed was either built for someone else, priced like it hates small organizations, or so clunky it created more work than it saved.
Hivey is modern market management software built specifically for the people who run farmers markets, pop-up markets, and festivals — from the 30-vendor Saturday morning market to the 300-vendor regional festival that takes over a whole downtown.
We built the platform we kept wishing existed: one dashboard that handles vendor applications, booth map layouts, fee automation and customization, vendor communications, and payments — without the chaos, without the per-vendor price gouging, and without needing an IT degree to figure it out.
Here’s what makes Hivey different from other market management software:
Every market is different. Hivey is built around that truth. Our platform gives organizers full customization over vendor fee structures and automations, modern drag-and-drop booth map layouts, and streamlined workflows that actually match how markets operate in the real world — not how a software company in 2008 imagined they did.
And unlike legacy market management platforms that charge based on how many vendors you have or how big your market grows, Hivey is a flat monthly subscription. Grow your market. Add vendors. Expand to new locations. Your software bill stays the same.
We’re on the side of the organizers.
The farmers market and festival industry supports local economies, independent vendors, and community gathering in a way nothing else does. The people running these events deserve software that respects that, with tools that are fast, flexible, and actually enjoyable to use, backed by a team that’s paying attention to what markets need right now, not five years ago.
Hivey is the market management software for organizers who are done settling.
Ready to run your market without the mayhem? Let’s build something better.
