Join 150+ automotive businesses with streamlined AP processes
The "Invoice Overload" Problem
Endless paper trails from chemical suppliers like high-pH detergents and equipment vendors for high-pressure washers, bogging down your wash bays with compliance documentation for EPA water runoff regulations
Manual matching of invoices to service logs for fleet contracts, such as tracking mileage-based washes for delivery vans, leading to billing disputes over underreported vehicle counts
Delayed approvals for maintenance parts like conveyor belt rollers or brush replacement kits during peak hours, halting tunnel wash operations and causing vehicle backups
Inaccurate tracking of variable costs like water treatment invoices for reverse osmosis systems amid fluctuating usage from seasonal pollen washes
Frustrating data entry errors in high-turnover staff handling daily vendor bills for tire shine applicators and undercarriage rust inhibitors
Seasonal invoice spikes from promotional campaigns like 'Spring Polish Specials' overwhelming your back office with bundled chemical and labor add-ons

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Operational Speed with Custom AP Automation
Faster Cash Flow for Expansion
Faster Cash Flow for Expansion: Process 200+ monthly invoices from detergent suppliers in under 10 minutes each, freeing capital for new bay installations like automated touchless arches. Industry benchmarks from the International Carwash Association show this boosts liquidity by 35%, turning potential delays into growth fuel for expanding to 24/7 operations.
Error-Free Billing Accuracy
Error-Free Billing Accuracy: Eliminate mismatches between invoices and actual wash volumes from telemetry sensors on conveyor systems, reducing disputes by 85%. Our AI cross-references with your telemetry data, ensuring payments align perfectly with usage—vital for variable-cost services like eco-washes using biodegradable soaps.
Staff Focus on Customer Throughput
Staff Focus on Customer Throughput: Cut administrative time by 40 hours weekly, allowing attendants to handle 20% more vehicles per shift during rush hours. No more pulling techs from bays for paperwork; automation handles the grind, keeping your wash line moving like a well-oiled machine with seamless integration to POS systems for quick-dry upsells.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays reconciling invoices from the wax supplier—always off by gallons on our tunnel applicator logs. Now, the system auto-matches everything to our daily wash cycle data, and we've shaved two days off our close cycle. Cash is flowing better, and we're finally upgrading our detailing station with a new steam cleaner."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Sparkle Auto Wash Chain (5 Locations in Midwest)
"Fleet contracts were a nightmare; invoices didn't match odometer readings from our delivery van washes, leading to constant calls from clients. Their custom AI fixed that in weeks—integrated right with our telematics app for real-time mileage verification. Errors dropped to zero, and we're saving about $2,500 a month in overpayments on bulk fleet detailing."
Sarah Chen
Owner, FleetClean Car Services (Specializing in Commercial Vehicle Maintenance)
"Peak season bills from equipment vendors for brush replacements piled up, delaying repairs on our express wash line. AIQ's solution scans and approves on the go via our phones, with mobile alerts for part compatibility. Last summer, we processed 300% more invoices without extra hires—it's like having an extra accountant who never sleeps, keeping our bays at full capacity."
Tom Hargrove
General Manager, QuickShine Express Washes (High-Volume Urban Chain)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle variable pricing on car wash supply invoices?
Our custom models are trained on your historical data to recognize patterns in fluctuating costs, like seasonal detergent price hikes or bulk discounts. Unlike generic tools, we integrate directly with your inventory system to validate quantities against actual wash volumes. For instance, if an invoice lists 500 gallons but your logs show only 400 used, it flags for review. This ensures accuracy, reducing overpayments by up to 25%. Implementation takes just two weeks, with ongoing tweaks to adapt to market changes—keeping your margins tight in a competitive industry.
Can this integrate with my existing car wash POS system?
Absolutely. We build two-way API connections to popular POS like DRB or ICS, pulling service data to auto-match invoices. No more manual entry of bay activities. For a recent client with multiple locations, this cut reconciliation time from hours to minutes daily. The setup involves a quick audit of your APIs, then custom coding for seamless data flow. It's flexible, supporting on-premise or cloud setups, and scales as you add sites—ensuring your entire operation runs like a synchronized engine.
What about security for sensitive supplier contracts?
Security is paramount in automotive AP, where contracts involve proprietary formulas. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and role-based access, so only authorized staff see invoice details. Data stays on your servers or our compliant cloud, with SOC 2 standards. In one deployment for a chain with 10 washes, we added biometric approvals for high-value bills. Regular audits and automatic backups protect against breaches, giving you peace of mind while accelerating processes—without the risks of leaky no-code platforms.
How long until we see results from implementation?
Most clients notice immediate wins: invoice processing drops 60-80% within the first week post-launch. Full optimization hits at 30 days, with custom tuning for your workflow. Take our partner who automated 150 monthly bills; they saved 15 hours weekly right away, reinvesting in staff training. We start with a pilot on your top vendors, then expand—minimizing disruption during peak seasons. ROI calculators show payback in 2-3 months, based on industry averages for car wash ops.
Is this scalable if we expand to more locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth. Built on scalable frameworks like AWS or Azure, it handles increased volume without added costs. For a client growing from 3 to 7 washes, we added multi-site dashboards that centralize AP views, cutting oversight time by 50%. Features like automated site-specific approvals ensure consistency. We future-proof by incorporating modular code, so adding bays or new suppliers is plug-and-play—keeping efficiency high as your business accelerates.
What support do you provide after launch?
Ongoing support is baked in: 24/7 monitoring for the first month, then monthly check-ins. Our team handles updates for new vendor formats or regulatory changes, like updated payment remittance rules. Clients get a dedicated portal for logging issues, resolved in under 4 hours on average. One operator reported zero downtime in six months, even during a software glitch from a supplier's side. This builder mindset means your system evolves with your needs, not a one-and-done handoff.
