Why Choose Us
Generic forecasting tools treat every shop like a cookie-cutter operation. They ignore the ebb and flow of RV migrations, the surge in A/C repairs during summer heatwaves, or the spike in chassis work after off-road adventures. At AIQ Labs, we build custom AI models from the ground up, analyzing your repair logs, customer patterns, and even regional weather data. This isn't off-the-shelf software—it's an enterprise-grade system engineered for your exact workflow, ensuring you stock just enough Winnebago filters without the excess that clogs your shelves like a backed-up exhaust.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Drives Your Shop Forward
Slash Overstock and Boost Cash Flow
Slash Overstock and Boost Cash Flow: Imagine clearing out those dusty shelves of unused RV awning fabric and stabilizer jacks. Our AI forecasts, trained on OEM data and local RV registration trends, cut excess inventory by 40% within the first quarter, freeing up capital for hiring that extra ASE-certified mechanic or upgrading to advanced OBD-II diagnostic scanners. Shops using our system report $25,000 in recovered funds within six months, turning idle stock into revenue-generating assets like expanded mobile repair services.
Minimize Downtime with Spot-On Predictions
Minimize Downtime with Spot-On Predictions: No more turning away customers because you're out of propane system valves or slide-out motor gears during peak camping season. Our models analyze historical repairs, VIN-specific failure rates, and market trends like Burning Man event surges to predict needs with 95% accuracy, reducing stockouts by 50%. This keeps service bays full, certified technicians busy on jobs like chassis alignments, and your reputation as the go-to RV fix-it shop intact amid rising demand for off-grid modifications.
Streamline Ordering and Negotiate Better Deals
Streamline Ordering and Negotiate Better Deals: Tired of last-minute rushes to suppliers for emergency axle bearings or torque converter seals in Class A motorhomes? Our flexible system generates reorder alerts based on your actual repair volume and integrates with EPC catalogs, helping you bulk-buy at optimal times during stable lead times. Clients see a 25% drop in ordering errors, improved supplier terms on high-volume items like hydraulic leveling systems, and lean operations that scale with your growing clientele of full-time RVers.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's forecasting, we were drowning in extra all-terrain tires every fall migration season for our fleet of pop-up campers. Now, we're ordering exactly what we need based on local RV show data—saved us about $8,000 last year on overstock alone and cut customer wait times for tire rotations in half."
Mike Harlan
Service Manager, Trailblazer RV Repairs in Boise, Idaho
"Our old spreadsheet method couldn't handle the summer rush of Onan generator repairs after music festivals. The custom AI they built looks at our past jobs, chassis type breakdowns, and even local events like Coachella; stockouts dropped from weekly to rare, and we're actually ahead on profits this quarter with fuller bays for AC recharge services."
Sarah Kline
Owner, Horizon Mobile RV Services in Palm Springs, California
"Integrated it with our QuickBooks in under a week using API hooks. No more guessing on parts for older Winnebagos like the 1990s chassis—predictions are dead-on for items like black tank valves, and we've reduced our inventory holding costs by 30% without slowing down repairs on slide mechanisms or propane lines."

Operations Lead, Desert Winds RV Center in Tucson, Arizona

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle the unique seasonality of RV repairs?
RV shops face wild swings—from winterizing surges to summer travel breakdowns. Our custom AI ingests your historical repair tickets, local event calendars, and even weather patterns to predict these cycles accurately. For instance, it might flag a 25% uptick in roof seal repairs ahead of rainy seasons. Unlike generic tools, we train the model on your specific data, achieving 95% accuracy in benchmarks. Setup involves mapping your past two years of jobs, and we refine it quarterly to keep pace with emerging trends like electric RV adoption. This ensures you're stocked for booms without overcommitting during lulls.
What data sources do you use to build the forecasting model?
We start with your internal data: repair logs, part usage history, and sales records from your POS system. To add depth, we layer in external factors like regional RV registration stats, supplier lead times, and macroeconomic indicators affecting travel. For an RV shop in the Southwest, this might include monsoon season impacts on suspension parts. Everything is anonymized and secured. The process takes 2-4 weeks for initial modeling, with AI handling the heavy lifting to spot patterns humans miss, like correlations between holiday weekends and generator demand.
Can this integrate with our existing inventory software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with tools like Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, or even custom ERP setups common in automotive repair. Our engineers create bidirectional APIs that pull real-time data—think syncing current stock levels with forecasted needs instantly. No more manual exports. For RV shops, this means automatic updates when a fleet of Class A motorhomes rolls in for service. Implementation typically wraps in 4-6 weeks, with minimal downtime, and we provide training to ensure your team leverages it fully from day one.
How much does a custom inventory forecasting system cost?
Pricing is tailored to your shop's size and complexity—starting around $15,000 for a mid-sized RV repair operation with 5-10 bays. This covers discovery, model building, integration, and three months of support. Unlike subscription models that nickel-and-dime you, this is a one-time build for a system you own outright. ROI hits fast: most clients recoup costs in 6-9 months through reduced overstock and fewer lost jobs. We offer a free audit to scope your needs precisely, factoring in your annual part spend and current waste levels.
What if our repair volume changes rapidly, like during a travel boom?
Our systems are built flexible, with adaptive algorithms that retrain on new data monthly. If a sudden RV rally spikes demand for leveling jacks, the model adjusts forecasts in real-time, pulling from live repair inputs and external signals like event announcements. We've helped shops during post-pandemic travel surges scale predictions without overhauling the setup. Maintenance is low-effort—just approve data uploads—and we include performance monitoring to flag any drifts early. This keeps your inventory agile, preventing the cash drain of excess stock when volumes normalize.
Is the system secure for sensitive shop data like customer repair histories?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where data includes VINs and warranty details. We use enterprise-grade encryption, comply with SOC 2 standards, and host on secure AWS infrastructure with role-based access. Your data never leaves your control—we build models on-site if needed. For RV shops, this means protecting proprietary insights on common failure points without risking breaches. Regular audits and backups ensure uptime, and we've never had a client incident in our five-year history. Peace of mind comes standard.
