Custom-Built Dashboards: Tailored for Your Shop's Workflow
With over a decade in automotive operations and AI integrations, we've empowered 50+ auto body shops to turn raw data into a competitive edge.
Why Choose Us
Imagine your shop's data flowing like a well-tuned engine—no clogs, no leaks. At AIQ Labs, we craft custom dashboards that pull from your repair software, inventory systems, and CRM into one unified view. Short bursts of insight. Long-term strategy. We start by mapping your exact processes, from dent repairs to full frame work, then build enterprise-grade interfaces that deliver actionable KPIs at a glance. No off-the-shelf templates. Just precision engineering for your bay.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Drives Your Shop Forward
Real-Time KPI Tracking for Faster Decisions
Real-Time KPI Tracking for Faster Decisions: Monitor live updates on vehicle intake rates, average diagnostic-to-completion times for engine repairs, and billable hours per bay. Shops using our systems report a 30% reduction in job turnaround for alignments and exhaust work, turning one-day delays into same-day completions and boosting customer satisfaction scores by 25% through quicker VIN-based tracking.
Actionable Insights to Cut Waste and Maximize Profits
Actionable Insights to Cut Waste and Maximize Profits: Analyze data on parts usage for frequent items like brake pads and technician efficiency in welding tasks, uncovering hidden costs such as over-ordered fender panels during hail season. Our clients see inventory costs drop 18% within the first quarter, freeing up cash for that new alignment rack without the guesswork of manual stock checks.
Seamless Data Visibility Across Your Entire Operation
Seamless Data Visibility Across Your Entire Operation: Eliminate silos between front office billing for tire services and back-end repairs like suspension alignments. Obtain a holistic view that flags insurance claim discrepancies in paint matching estimates early, reducing denials by 35% and ensuring steady revenue flow from fleet maintenance contracts even during slow months.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were digging through paper logs to check if a fender repair or airbag deployment job was on track—lost hours every shift chasing down torque specs. Now, it's all on one screen with real-time bay assignments; we cut our average job time from 4 days to 2.5 for collision work, and our techs are actually using the data to hit quotas consistently on high-volume dent pulls."
Mike Harlan
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body & Frame
"Parts shortages hit us hard last winter with all the wrecks from icy roads. Their custom setup pulls supplier data directly on alternators and fuel injectors, alerting us before we run dry on headlights for SUV repairs. We've avoided three major delays this year alone during peak fender-bender season, and our gross margins are up 12% without adding staff, thanks to predictive restocking alerts."
Sarah Kline
Owner, Elite Collision & Mechanical Repair
"I was skeptical about custom tech for our small shop handling classics, but this dashboard tracks everything from customer check-ins for rust removal to paint curing times on vintage chassis. Implementation took just two weeks with minimal downtime, and now we're spotting trends in repeat dent work from gravel roads—helped us upsell alignments and add $15K in revenue last quarter from proactive suspension diagnostics."

Design and Prototyping
Collaborate on wireframes tailored to your bays, incorporating automotive-specific metrics like frame alignment times. We prototype rapidly, testing for usability with your team to refine before build.
Build, Integrate, and Launch
Our engineers code the full system, integrating deeply with your tools for two-way data sync. We train your staff, go live, and provide ongoing tweaks to keep it humming like a rebuilt V8.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How long does it take to build a custom dashboard for our auto body shop?
Typically, we deliver a fully functional prototype in 2-4 weeks, depending on the complexity of your existing systems. For a standard setup integrating repair software and inventory tools, full deployment takes about 6-8 weeks. This includes discovery, design, build, and testing phases. We've streamlined the process for automotive clients, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily operations. Unlike generic solutions, our custom approach means we're aligning with your specific pain points, like tracking frame pulls or paint matching, from day one.
What data sources can your dashboards integrate with for auto body shops?
We connect seamlessly with industry staples like Shop-Ware, CCC One, Mitchell, and even legacy systems via APIs or secure file imports. For inventory, we integrate with suppliers like LKQ or O'Reilly for real-time stock levels. Customer data from CRMs such as AutoLoop or basic Google Sheets can be unified too. Our two-way integrations ensure updates—like a completed bumper repair—automatically reflect in billing and scheduling, creating that single source of truth. No more manual uploads that lead to errors in high-volume shops.
Is the dashboard secure for sensitive repair and customer data?
Absolutely. We build with enterprise-grade security, including SOC 2 compliance, encrypted data transmission, and role-based access controls. Techs in the bay see only job-specific details, while managers get full oversight. For auto body shops handling insurance info and VINs, we incorporate GDPR and CCPA standards to protect customer privacy. Regular audits and automatic backups ensure your data is safe from breaches or downtime, even during peak seasons when a system glitch could cost thousands in lost jobs.
Can we customize the dashboard for our specific shop workflows?
Yes, that's our core strength—every dashboard is tailored to your exact operations. If your shop specializes in classic car restorations, we'll prioritize metrics like parts sourcing timelines and restoration phase tracking. For high-volume collision work, we emphasize cycle times and claim statuses. We map your processes during discovery, then build intuitive UIs that match how your team works, from spray booth scheduling to final quality checks. This results in 90% user adoption rates, far above generic tools.
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
Ongoing support is baked in. Post-launch, we offer 30 days of free tweaks and training sessions for your staff. Then, our maintenance plans start at $500/month, covering updates, performance monitoring, and feature additions—like adding EV battery repair metrics as your shop expands. We monitor system health proactively to prevent issues, and our dedicated automotive specialist is available via phone or Slack for quick resolutions. Clients report 99% uptime, keeping your shop running smoothly without IT headaches.
How does this help with insurance claims processing in our shop?
Our dashboards streamline claims by consolidating repair photos, estimates, and progress notes into shareable reports. You get automated alerts for documentation gaps that often cause denials, reducing processing time from weeks to days. For example, track supplement requests in real-time and generate audit-ready exports for adjusters. Shops we've worked with have cut claim denial rates by 25%, accelerating reimbursements and improving cash flow during busy periods like post-storm surges.
