What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Unlimited Growth Potential for Your Store
Effortless Seasonal Scaling
Effortless Seasonal Scaling: As your store expands to new locations or online marketplaces like Amazon and Etsy, our AI handles volume spikes—like a 300% surge in cycling gear during summer—without adding headcount. You'll forecast accurately using historical sales data, restock smartly via automated supplier orders, and keep shelves full, turning peak seasons into profit peaks within 3-6 months of implementation.
Hyper-Personalized Customer Journeys
Hyper-Personalized Customer Journeys: Forget one-size-fits-all emails. Our AI analyzes browsing habits and past purchases to suggest gear like waterproof jackets for rainy hike seasons or trail running shoes based on user location data, boosting conversions by up to 35%. Customers feel seen, loyalty grows through targeted loyalty programs, and your repeat business soars—no more abandoned carts from irrelevant upsells, with results visible in the first quarter.
Bottleneck-Free Operations
Bottleneck-Free Operations: Manual tasks eat hours during rushes. We automate everything from invoice matching for bulk apparel buys via ERP integrations to real-time stock alerts across channels like POS systems and online inventories. Result? Faster fulfillment with same-day shipping guarantees, fewer errors in order picking, and your team focusing on what matters: delighting athletes with top-tier service during high-traffic events like marathon seasons.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our winter ski inventory was a nightmare—we overstocked by 25% last season on down jackets and lost thousands in markdowns. Now, their forecasting AI nailed our Black Friday projections by integrating our POS and online sales data, cutting waste by 40% and adding $45K in revenue from optimized restocks. It's like having a crystal ball for sales trends in the outdoor retail space."
Sarah Jenkins
Inventory Director at Peak Performance Sports, a multi-channel outdoor retailer with 15 stores
"We were drowning in cart abandonments during our spring running shoe promo, with rates hitting 65%. Their custom recommendation engine turned it around—personalized suggestions based on user fitness levels and past cart views increased our average order value by 28% in just two months, especially on our Shopify site. Game-changer for our e-comm side and omnichannel sales."
Mike Rivera
Digital Marketing Lead at Active Gear Outfitters, an e-commerce-focused athletic apparel brand
"Scaling to three new stores meant chaos with our old systems—stock discrepancies between in-store and website listings were constant. AIQ's integrated AI smoothed it out, automating orders through vendor APIs and syncing stock in real-time across all channels. We handled a 150% traffic jump without hiccups during the holiday rush, and our team finally gets weekends back during peak season, improving staff retention too."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle seasonal fluctuations in sporting goods demand?
Let's be honest, sporting goods stores live and die by seasons—think ski sales in winter or bike booms in summer. Our custom AI models analyze your historical data, weather patterns, and social trends to forecast demand with 90% accuracy. For example, we helped a client predict a 40% uptick in running gear during marathon season, preventing stockouts. It's built to scale, so as you add locations, it adapts without bottlenecks. No more guessing; you restock confidently and keep customers happy.
Absolutely, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations. Whether you're on Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom setup, our engineers connect your AI seamlessly to pull real-time inventory and push personalized recommendations. Picture this: a customer browsing trail shoes gets instant size availability from your stockroom. We've done this for dozens of retailers, reducing integration headaches by 70%. It's all about creating that unified system you own, not fragile add-ons.
What makes your solutions scalable for growing sporting goods chains?
You're probably thinking about hitting growth ceilings. Our architecture is enterprise-ready from day one—using robust frameworks that handle 10x traffic without slowing down. For a multi-store client, we scaled from 5K to 50K monthly orders during peak fitness trends, all without extra costs. We focus on no limits: modular design means adding features like voice agents or SEO boosts as you expand. It's like building a store that grows rooms as needed, keeping operations smooth.
How do you ensure the AI improves customer experience in my store?
Customer experience is everything in retail. Our AI personalizes interactions—like suggesting hydration packs based on a buyer's hiking history—boosting satisfaction and sales. We train it on your data for context-aware responses, not generic bots. One store saw a 25% drop in returns after implementing our recommendation engine, as customers got the right gear first time. We test rigorously with your audience, ensuring it feels warm and helpful, just like your team would.
What's the timeline and cost for building a custom AI system?
Timelines vary, but most projects kick off with discovery in week one and launch in 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity—like adding forecasting for seasonal apparel. Costs start around $50K for a core multi-service setup, scaling with features, but it's a one-time build that replaces ongoing subscriptions saving you 50% yearly. We provide clear quotes post-consultation, tailored to your needs, like automating for a single store or chain-wide. Think investment in ownership, not endless fees.
Do you offer ongoing support after the AI is deployed?
Yes, we're in it for the long haul. Post-launch, we provide 3 months of included support for tweaks, like adjusting models for emerging trends in pickleball gear. Then, optional maintenance ensures scalability as you grow—monitoring performance during events like the Tour de France hype. Clients love our responsive team; one reported zero downtime during their busiest quarter. It's partnership, not just a handoff, keeping your AI sharp and your business ahead.
