What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried in spreadsheets tracking design revisions for invoicing on packaging projects—it was killing our creative vibe. Now, the custom AI pulls data straight from our Adobe XD and Figma files, and we've shaved off 15 hours a week on admin. Last quarter, we billed 20% more on seasonal campaigns without adding staff.""
Sarah Jenkins
Creative Director, PixelForge Design Studio
""Invoicing multi-phase branding projects was a nightmare with our old setup—approvals got lost in email threads amid client feedback on color palettes and typography. Their tailored system automated it all, integrating with our client portal for real-time sign-offs. We went from 10-day delays to same-day processing on UI redesigns, and our cash flow stabilized overnight.""
Mike Rivera
Studio Operations Manager, Creative Edge Agency
""As a small studio, we couldn't afford errors in seasonal holiday illustration campaigns. AIQ's solution caught a scope creep issue on a major client's animated banner project, saving us $8K in underbilling during the Q4 rush. It's like having an extra accountant who understands design workflows from sketch to final render.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle the variable scopes common in graphic design projects?
Our custom AI is trained on your specific project data, learning to detect and flag scope changes from revision logs or client communications. For instance, if a logo design expands to include packaging, it automatically adjusts line items and routes for approval. This prevents underbilling, which affects 60% of design studios per industry reports. We start with a mapping session to align it with your workflow, ensuring 95% accuracy within the first month. Unlike generic tools, it's built to evolve with your creative processes, saving hours on manual reconciliations.
What integrations do you support for design studio tools?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Asana, and Monday.com, pulling billable data directly from design files and task trackers. For invoicing, we connect to QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or even custom client CRMs. This creates a unified flow where hours logged in a design session instantly feed into invoice drafts. Studios we've partnered with report 50% faster billing cycles. Our approach avoids superficial plugins; we engineer robust APIs for reliability, even during high-volume revisions.
How long does it take to implement this for a small graphic design studio?
For a studio with 10-50 team members, implementation typically spans 4-6 weeks: one week for discovery, two for development, and one for testing and training. We minimize disruption by building in parallel with your current processes. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of support to iron out any kinks. This timeline is based on our work with similar creative firms, where 80% achieve full ROI within three months through reduced admin time. It's not a rushed deployment—it's a precise build for your exact needs.
Is the system secure for handling client design files and financial data?
Absolutely. We adhere to enterprise-grade standards like SOC 2 compliance, encrypting all data in transit and at rest. For graphic studios, we ensure sensitive assets like mockups aren't unnecessarily exposed during invoice processing. Access controls mirror your team's roles, with audit logs for every action. In one case, a client avoided a potential breach by our system's anomaly detection. Unlike shared SaaS platforms, your custom solution is hosted on secure, owned infrastructure, giving you full control without third-party risks.
Can this scale if our studio takes on larger enterprise clients?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth, handling increased volume from enterprise projects without performance dips. We use scalable cloud frameworks that auto-adjust to spikes, like during award-season rushes. Features include bulk invoice generation for multi-client campaigns and predictive scaling for payment forecasting. Studios scaling from $2M to $10M revenue have used our systems to maintain 99% uptime. It's flexible— we can expand modules, like adding contract AI, as your client relationships deepen.
What if we already use invoicing software—do we need to replace it?
No replacement needed. We enhance your existing tools by building AI layers on top, integrating seamlessly to automate what they can't—like extracting design-specific details from briefs. For example, if you're on Xero, our system feeds processed invoices directly, cutting manual entry by 80%. This avoids the 'subscription chaos' of new tools. Our focus is augmentation, not disruption, ensuring your investments continue to pay off while adding custom intelligence tailored to graphic design challenges.
