What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we drowned in Excel sheets tracking why bays idled during clay bar and polish stages. Now, the dashboard pinpoints drags in our 2-hour exterior detail workflows, cutting idle time by 18 hours weekly and letting us process 15 more vehicles per month—it's our virtual shop foreman."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Precision Auto Detailing in Phoenix, AZ
"Their KPI platform revolutionized our inventory for compounds, polishes, and microfiber supplies. Last quarter, early alerts prevented a $2,500 shortage of wheel cleaners right before a major car show weekend, saving us from rescheduling 20 jobs—now the team relies on it for daily reorders, turning data into actionable stock decisions."
Sarah Chen

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this platform handle data from multiple detailing bays?
Our custom dashboards aggregate data from all bays into a single, intuitive interface, pulling in metrics like occupancy rates and job queues from your existing tools. For a typical three-bay operation, this means seeing real-time heatmaps of activity without switching apps. We've designed it to scale effortlessly—whether you're at two bays or expanding to ten, the system maintains speed and accuracy. Integration takes about two weeks, and it reduces cross-checking time by 50%, letting managers focus on client relations instead of data wrangling. Plus, it's built on robust frameworks that handle peak loads, like during auto show seasons, without lagging.
What specific KPIs are tracked for auto detailing services?
We tailor KPIs to your operations, including average detailing time per vehicle, technician efficiency (jobs per hour), upsell success rates for premium services like paint correction, and inventory turnover for supplies such as polishes and sealants. For example, benchmark against industry standards where top shops achieve 2.5-hour turnarounds for full details. Our platform visualizes these with charts and alerts, helping you spot trends like slower winter services due to weather. This data visibility has driven 20% efficiency gains for clients by informing staffing and pricing decisions directly from the dashboard.
Is the dashboard accessible on mobile devices for shop owners?
Absolutely—our web-based platform is fully responsive, optimized for tablets and phones so you can check KPIs while inspecting a client's freshly detailed SUV. Features like swipeable graphs for daily revenue or push notifications for bay delays work seamlessly on the go. In field tests with detailing pros, this cut response times to issues by 35%, preventing small problems from snowballing. Security is enterprise-grade, with role-based access to protect sensitive client data, ensuring compliance even during mobile use.
How long does it take to implement and see results?
Implementation typically spans 4-6 weeks: one week for audit, two for build, and one for testing and training. Early results emerge immediately post-launch, with clients reporting 15% productivity lifts in the first month through better job tracking. For auto detailing, this means quicker identifications of bottlenecks, like overbooked ceramic coating slots. We provide white-glove support to accelerate adoption, and our proven track record shows full ROI within 3-4 months via reduced manual logging and optimized resource allocation.
Can it integrate with our existing POS and scheduling software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular tools like Square for POS, Jobber or Housecall Pro for scheduling, and QuickBooks for finances. Data flows bidirectionally—for instance, a completed detailing job auto-updates inventory and invoices without manual entry. This eliminates silos that plague 70% of SMB shops, per industry surveys. Setup is customized to your workflow, with API connections ensuring reliability even during high-volume days. Clients see error rates drop by 40%, freeing hours for revenue-generating tasks like client upsells.
What makes this different from generic dashboard tools?
Unlike generic tools like Tableau that require manual setup and lack automotive context, our solution is purpose-built for detailing challenges—tracking specifics like wax application efficiency or vehicle type breakdowns (e.g., sedans vs. trucks). We use advanced frameworks for scalability, not no-code limits, delivering a owned asset that grows with you. Industry benchmarks show our clients achieve 25% better insight accuracy because we embed auto-specific logic, like seasonal adjustments for rain-affected services, ensuring decisions are grounded in your shop's reality rather than one-size-fits-all reports.
