Phase 1 — Account setup
Create your company account
Contact Forager support to provision your company account. A Hiverise Labs team member will set up your company in the system and send an admin invite to your email address.
Accept your admin invite
Look for an email with the subject “You have been invited”. Click the link inside — your account is verified automatically, no password needed at this step. You will land on a welcome page confirming you are in.You are now the account admin for your company. Log in to the dashboard at dashboard.hiveriselabs.com to continue setup.
If you ever need to log in on a new device after the invite link expires, use the Forgot Password flow on the login screen to set a password.
Invite your team
In the dashboard, go to Team and use the Invite Team Member card to send an email invite to each field technician. When they click the link in their email, they land on a welcome page with a direct link to download the Forager app from Google Play. They sign in with the email address the invite was sent to — no separate password setup required.
Team Management

Assign techs to their sites
New team members have no site access until you assign them. In the dashboard, go to Sites and add each technician to the buildings they work in.A tech assigned to a building can see and confirm every asset inside it — all floors and rooms are included automatically. Techs not yet assigned to any site will see an empty screen in the app.If your team works out of a single building, assign everyone to that building. If you have multiple locations, assign each tech only to the buildings they cover.

Phase 2 — Location hierarchy
Set up your location hierarchy
In the Forager app, navigate to Manage Locations. Build out your hierarchy from top to bottom:
- Campus or site (optional)
- Building
- Floor
- Room
Upload floor plans (optional but recommended)
For each floor node, you can upload a floor plan image (JPEG or PNG recommended). This enables the visual floor plan view in the dashboard and helps techs navigate during Device Hunt.After uploading, tap each room’s pin icon to place it on the floor plan. This only needs to be done once.
PDFs are supported but interactive pins are not available for PDFs. Convert to JPEG or PNG for the best experience.
Phase 3 — Survey
Run a survey of each room
Survey teaches Forager what each room looks like on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth spectrum. Without survey, the app cannot determine which room a tech is currently in.For each room:
- Have a tech stand in the room with the Forager app open
- Open Survey Mode
- Select the floor and room
- Tap Capture — the app takes 4–6 RF scans over about 30 seconds
- Move to the next room and repeat
Phase 4 — First attestation
Scan your first asset
Have a tech stand in a surveyed room, open the Forager app, and scan an asset barcode. The app will:
- Identify the current room from the RF fingerprint
- Look up the asset’s recorded location
- Confirm a match or flag a mismatch
- Write an attestation record
Verify in the dashboard
Log into the dashboard at dashboard.hiveriselabs.com. Open Floor Plan and select the floor where you just scanned. The room pin should show the asset count with a green indicator (confirmed within 7 days).
Phase 5 — CMDB integration (optional)
Seed your asset roster from CMDB
Rather than adding assets one by one, export a CSV from your CMDB (ServiceNow or equivalent) and upload it from the dashboard Assets page. Forager will create every asset in the file in seconds.The import accepts
asset_tag, name, description, serial_number, cmdb_id, and cmdb_location. Only asset_tag is required. Re-importing is safe — existing records are updated, confirmed location data is never overwritten.Assets — Import & Export
