What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enterprise-Grade Efficiency in Your Lead Pipeline
Precision Lead Prioritization
Our system analyzes lead data against your IT service benchmarks, scoring prospects by factors like infrastructure needs, compliance requirements, and integration complexity with legacy systems. IT firms using this see a 35% increase in conversion rates within the first quarter, focusing efforts on deals that align with your core expertise in areas like cloud migration rather than chasing mismatched opportunities.
Streamlined Client Relationship Building
Automate personalized follow-ups based on past interactions, such as post-RFP feedback or audit session notes, reducing manual outreach by 50% while maintaining the consultative tone essential in professional services. This builds deeper trust, turning one-off projects like cybersecurity assessments into recurring revenue streams with minimal effort from your team, often yielding 20-30% higher retention rates.
Seamless Handoff to Delivery Teams
Ensure no lead details get lost in translation with automated workflows that sync qualified opportunities directly to your project managers, including detailed scopes for custom development or consulting phases. Clients report 25% faster project starts for initiatives like digital transformation rollouts, minimizing delays in your service delivery cycle and boosting overall client satisfaction scores by an average of 15 points.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our leads were buried in emails and shared drives—we missed following up on a major cloud migration RFP last quarter that could have been worth $300K. Their custom CRM automated everything, integrating with our proposal tools, and we've closed three similar deals in the past six months alone, adding $450K to our pipeline and streamlining our discovery process."
Sarah Jenkins
Director of Business Development, TechForge Solutions (a mid-sized IT consulting firm specializing in enterprise cloud integrations)
"Juggling Salesforce and our internal ticketing system was a nightmare for tracking IT support leads, especially during peak compliance season. The tailored solution they built integrated both seamlessly, cutting our admin time in half and enabling real-time visibility into service desk escalations. Now, our team spends more time advising clients on cybersecurity upgrades instead of chasing data, resulting in a 40% uptick in upsell opportunities."
Mike Rivera
Sales Manager, Nexus IT Partners (a managed services provider focused on cybersecurity and compliance for financial institutions)
"We needed something that understood our focus on custom software development leads, not generic sales funnels, particularly for matching client requirements with our Agile methodologies. AIQ's system scores prospects based on project scope, tech stack fit, and scalability needs—it helped us prioritize a fintech client that led to a $200K contract within weeks of implementation, accelerating our go-to-market for new modules."
Elena Patel
CEO, Innovatech Services (a boutique firm delivering bespoke software solutions for fintech and healthcare sectors)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom CRM differ from standard tools like Salesforce for IT services?
Standard CRMs like Salesforce offer powerful features but often require extensive customization through add-ons, leading to higher costs and complexity for IT firms. Our approach starts from scratch, building only what aligns with your workflow—such as automated scoring for technical leads or integrations with niche tools like ServiceNow. This results in a leaner, more intuitive system that reduces training time by 40% and avoids the bloat of unused modules. We've seen IT consultancies cut their total ownership costs by 30% compared to licensed platforms, while gaining full control over updates and features. It's not about replacing Salesforce entirely; it's about creating a tailored core that enhances what you already use.
What specific challenges in lead management does this solve for IT companies?
IT services firms face unique hurdles like tracking multi-stage leads from initial audits to full implementations, often scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and project boards. Our CRM centralizes this with AI that flags high-potential leads based on criteria like infrastructure scale or cybersecurity needs. For instance, it automates follow-ups post-demo, ensuring no opportunity slips during busy deployment periods. Clients in our portfolio report a 28% uplift in qualified leads, as the system eliminates manual data entry that previously consumed 15-20 hours weekly per sales rep. We focus on your pain points, like nurturing relationships for retainer-based services, delivering a solution that's as consultative as your business model.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom CRM?
Timeline varies by complexity, but for most IT services companies, we complete discovery and build in 8-12 weeks, with a phased rollout to minimize disruption. Week 1-2: We map your processes through workshops with your team. Weeks 3-8: Engineering the core features, like lead pipelines integrated with your ticketing system. Final weeks: Testing, training, and live deployment. This agile approach allows early wins, such as basic lead capture in week 4. Unlike off-the-shelf setups that can drag on with configurations, our custom build ensures immediate value— one client went live with automated nurturing in under 10 weeks, seeing pipeline growth within the first month.
Is the CRM scalable as our IT services business grows?
Absolutely, scalability is baked in from day one. We use robust frameworks that handle increased lead volumes without performance dips, supporting everything from 50 to 500+ monthly inquiries. For growing IT firms, this means adding modules for new services—like AI ops consulting—without overhauling the system. Our architecture supports deep API connections to expanding tools, and AI components self-optimize over time. A mid-sized client scaled from 20 to 80 team members last year; their CRM adapted seamlessly, maintaining 99.9% uptime and boosting lead conversion by 22% during expansion. You own the system, so it grows with your ambitions, not against them.
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
Post-launch, we offer comprehensive support including a dedicated account engineer for the first 90 days, with unlimited revisions to fine-tune features like lead scoring algorithms. Ongoing, it's 24/7 monitoring and quarterly reviews to align with evolving needs, such as new compliance standards in IT. Unlike subscription models with tiered support, ours is proactive— we anticipate issues, like peak-season lead surges, and optimize accordingly. Clients access a client portal for self-serve updates, but our team handles complex evolutions. One firm praised how we resolved a integration hiccup within hours during a major RFP season, preventing any lost opportunities.
Can this integrate with our existing IT tools and security protocols?
Yes, integration is a cornerstone. We connect seamlessly with common IT stacks like Microsoft Azure, AWS consoles, and tools such as Zendesk or HubSpot, using secure, two-way APIs that maintain data integrity. For security, we adhere to standards like SOC 2 and GDPR, customizing encryption for sensitive client data in leads. During build, we audit your protocols to ensure compliance, avoiding common pitfalls in professional services. A cybersecurity-focused client integrated our CRM with their SIEM tools effortlessly, enhancing threat detection in lead data while keeping everything encrypted end-to-end. This unified approach turns your tools into a cohesive ecosystem, not isolated silos.
