The "Data Silo" Problem
Manual tire inventory counts lead to overstocking slow-movers like winter radials during summer peaks, resulting in 20-30% excess inventory costs
Disconnected shop software hides real-time bay occupancy, causing delays in oil changes and tire installs with average wait times exceeding 45 minutes
No visibility into customer service history means missed upsells on alignments after tire replacements, losing an estimated 15% of potential revenue per ticket
Seasonal demand fluctuations for all-terrain tires go untracked, tying up capital in unsold stock amid off-road vehicle trends and regional weather shifts
Fragmented sales data from POS systems obscures which tire brands like Michelin or Goodyear drive repeat business in light truck and SUV segments
Warranty claim tracking relies on paper logs for tire defects or alignment failures, delaying reimbursements by 4-6 weeks and frustrating tire suppliers

Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we craft custom dashboards from the ground up, tailored to your tire shop's exact workflow. No off-the-shelf templates. We integrate your POS, inventory trackers, and CRM into a unified interface. Picture this: a central hub showing live tire stock levels, service queue times, and customer tire wear patterns.

Our enterprise-grade builds ensure scalability as your shop grows, with deep API ties to tools like TireMaster or Shop-Ware.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Actionable Insights That Drive Results
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Real-Time Inventory Visibility: Never overbuy radials again. Our dashboards pull live data from your warehouse scanners, forecasting demand based on local weather APIs and average annual mileage for sedans and trucks. Shops see 30% less waste, freeing cash for high-margin all-seasons like Michelin CrossClimates.
Optimized Service Bay Efficiency
Optimized Service Bay Efficiency: Track bay utilization down to the minute—spot bottlenecks in tire mounting queues using RFID-tagged wheels. One client cut wait times by 22% in the first quarter, turning same-day services into a competitive edge without adding staff for high-volume brake and tire jobs.
Smarter Upsell Opportunities
Smarter Upsell Opportunities: Dashboards flag customers due for rotations or alignments via tire history integrated with VIN records. This proactive approach boosts revenue per ticket by 18% over six months, with automated alerts ensuring no lead slips through the cracks on post-tire replacement services.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were guessing on tire orders for winter radials and losing hours chasing paper warranty docs for tread wear claims. Now, everything's in one spot—our stock accuracy jumped from 75% to 96% in three months, and we're actually making money on winter tires instead of eating the cost during summer overstock."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan's Tire Pros in Denver, CO
"Integrated our legacy POS with the new dashboard last quarter for real-time bay tracking. No more double-entry for service tickets on oil changes and alignments. We caught a supplier pricing error that saved us $2,500 on bulk Goodyear radials, and techs love seeing bay schedules without asking during peak rush hours."
Sarah Ruiz
Operations Manager, Ruiz Auto Services in Phoenix, AZ
"The custom KPI views for customer retention were a game-changer. We track repeat tire buys by VIN now, spotting patterns in SUV all-terrain needs, and our upsell rate on alignments hit 35% last season after tire installs. Setup took just two weeks, and it's been rock-solid since with zero downtime."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How long does it take to build a custom dashboard for our tire shop?
Typically 4-6 weeks from initial discovery to launch. We start with a deep dive into your systems—like your tire inventory database and service software—to map exact needs. Then, our team codes the backend integrations and designs the UI around your daily flow, from tracking radial stock to monitoring alignment queues. Testing focuses on real shop scenarios, ensuring it handles peak hours without a hitch. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of optimization to refine based on your feedback. This timeline beats generic tools that require endless tweaks.
What data sources can you integrate with our existing tire shop tools?
We connect to virtually any: POS systems like TireMaster or Shop-Ware, inventory apps such as Fishbowl, and even supplier APIs from Michelin or Goodyear. For example, we pull real-time stock from your warehouse scanners and sync service histories from CRM tools. No superficial links—our two-way integrations update live, so a tire sale instantly adjusts forecasts. We've handled quirky legacy systems in older shops, ensuring your data silos merge into one reliable hub. This unified view prevents errors like double-counting stock during busy rotations.
Will the dashboard help with seasonal tire demand forecasting?
Absolutely. Our AI models analyze past sales, local weather data, and service patterns to predict needs—like a surge in snow tires before winter. For a mid-sized shop, this cut overstock by 28% last season. The dashboard displays these forecasts alongside current inventory, with alerts for reorders. It's not guesswork; it's data-driven, factoring in variables like regional road conditions. We customize thresholds to your turnover goals, ensuring you stock smart without tying up cash in slow seasons.
How secure is the dashboard for handling customer tire data?
Enterprise-grade security is non-negotiable. We use AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest, protecting sensitive info like VINs and service histories. Role-based access means techs see only what's needed, while managers get full KPIs. Compliant with standards like PCI for any payment ties, and we've audited against automotive supplier requirements. Regular penetration testing keeps it robust— one client passed a surprise supplier audit flawlessly thanks to our setup. Your data stays yours, with full ownership and no third-party vulnerabilities.
Can we scale the dashboard as our tire shop expands to multiple locations?
Yes, designed for growth. The architecture supports multi-site views, aggregating data from branches into a central dashboard—track inventory across locations or drill into one shop's bay efficiency. As you add bays or staff, it scales without downtime; we've expanded systems for shops doubling in size within a year. Cloud-hosted for flexibility, with options for on-prem if preferred. Costs stay predictable, unlike SaaS that balloons with users. We include migration planning, so adding a new location feels seamless, like extending your alignment rack.
What's the difference between your custom dashboards and off-the-shelf options like Google Data Studio?
Off-the-shelf tools are like generic all-seasons—they fit most but skid in specifics. Our builds are custom-compounded for tire shops: integrating niche data like tread depth logs or supplier rebate trackers that templates ignore. No brittle connections; we code robust APIs for 99% reliability. You own it outright, avoiding subscription hikes, and it evolves with your ops—add AI for predictive maintenance without starting over. Clients report 3x faster insights, turning raw service data into decisions that boost margins by 15-20%.
