The "Fragmented Visibility" Problem
Juggling endless client revision threads for creative assets across email, Slack, and project briefs in fragmented tools
Designers wasting hours hunting for versioned creative assets in siloed shared drives and cloud repositories
Project managers blind to billable team capacity for client engagements, leading to overbooked deadlines and scope creep
Inaccurate time tracking for billable hours that underbills clients on consulting deliverables and erodes project margins
Scattered stakeholder feedback on design mockups and strategy decks delaying iterations in client review cycles
No centralized view of campaign ROI and engagement metrics, stalling data-driven creative pivots in marketing services

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were drowning in Google Drive folders and Slack pings for every logo and branding project revision. Their dashboard pulled everything into a single view—we cut revision time from 10 days to 4, and our lead designer finally has breathing room to innovate on client pitches instead of chasing file versions across tools."
Sarah Kline
Creative Director at PixelForge Design Studio, a 50-person agency specializing in digital branding
"Implementing their custom KPI tracker was a game-changer for our branding and web design campaigns. We now see exactly which projects are over budget in real-time via integrated time logs, saving us about $15K last quarter on overruns from scope adjustments. It's not flashy, but it keeps our billable hours accurate and the business humming without the usual profitability headaches."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager at DesignWave Creative Agency, serving enterprise marketing teams
"As a small team of 12 handling UI/UX projects, we couldn't afford delays from miscommunicated client specs on Figma prototypes. The dashboard they built integrates our Figma files directly with approval workflows, giving us a single view of stakeholder sign-offs. Project turnover improved by 30% in six months, and clients rave about our responsiveness—it's like having an extra project lead on staff for our retainer engagements."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with our existing design tools?
We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with platforms like Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and Asana, ensuring seamless data flow without manual exports. For a typical graphic studio, this means pulling in real-time asset updates and project statuses directly into your dashboard. Our team handles the heavy lifting, using secure APIs to create a unified view that respects your workflow. Unlike plug-and-play options, these connections are built to withstand high-volume creative traffic, reducing errors by 90% based on our deployments. Setup usually takes 2-4 weeks, with ongoing support to adapt as your tools evolve.
What makes these dashboards suitable for small graphic design studios?
Our solutions are scaled for studios with 5-50 team members, focusing on affordability and ease without sacrificing enterprise features. We avoid bloated systems by tailoring to your needs—like tracking freelance illustrator hours or client mood board approvals. Clients see quick ROI through reduced admin time, often recouping costs in 3-6 months via faster billing. Built on robust frameworks, they grow with you, from solo operations to multi-project agencies, and we provide white-glove onboarding to ensure your designers adopt it effortlessly.
Can we customize the KPIs to match our studio's metrics?
Absolutely—every dashboard is 100% custom-built around your specific KPIs, such as revision turnaround times, color palette adherence rates, or client retention scores. During discovery, we collaborate to define these, then implement AI visualizations that highlight trends, like spotting seasonal spikes in packaging design demands. This isn't a rigid template; it's your studio's command center, with options to add or adjust metrics post-launch. Our track record shows studios gaining 25-40% efficiency in decision-making, turning raw data into creative strategy.
How secure are these dashboards for handling client design files?
Security is paramount in creative work, so we employ enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based permissions to safeguard IP like mockups and brand guidelines. Data is hosted on AWS with automatic backups, and we integrate watermarking for shared previews. For graphic studios, this means clients can approve files without risking leaks, while your team accesses only what's needed. We've audited systems for agencies handling Fortune 500 brands, ensuring zero breaches in over 200 deployments—peace of mind that lets you focus on design, not defense.
What's the timeline for building and launching a custom dashboard?
From initial consultation to go-live, expect 6-8 weeks for most studios, depending on complexity. Week 1-2: We map your workflows through calls and audits. Weeks 3-5: Design and build the core interface with your input via prototypes. Weeks 6-7: Testing and integrations, followed by training sessions. Launch includes a 30-day optimization period to fine-tune based on real use. This phased approach minimizes disruption, and our agile method allows adjustments—like adding voice notes for designer feedback—ensuring it's production-ready on day one.
Do you offer ongoing support after deployment?
Yes, we provide tiered support packages starting with a 90-day warranty for bug fixes and tweaks at no extra cost. Beyond that, our maintenance plans include monthly check-ins, performance audits, and priority updates to keep pace with new design trends or tool releases. For example, if your studio adopts a new plugin for vector editing, we'll integrate it seamlessly. This ongoing partnership has helped clients maintain 99% uptime, evolving their dashboards into long-term assets that support scaling without starting over.
