What Clients Say
""Before AIQ, we'd lose half a day chasing down duplicate Schlage keys for a 20-unit apartment complex rekey job. Now, the system predicts our needs from past commercial gigs and auto-orders from suppliers—saved us from a total nightmare during last winter's freeze, when lockout calls tripled overnight. We're down to one stockout a month, and that's huge for keeping our two-man crew billable at 90% capacity.""
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Lock & Key Services
""Integrating this with our routing app was a game-changer for handling evictions and safe installations across the city. No more techs driving in circles between downtown high-rises and suburban homes. We cut our mileage by 30% in the first quarter alone, dropping fuel costs by $2,500, and the guys actually get home for dinner now instead of logging 12-hour days. Worth every penny for the peace of mind in our unpredictable field.""
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Urban Secure Locks
""We were buried in manual scheduling for commercial rekeys on office buildings—spreadsheets everywhere, with constant overlaps for property manager requests. Their AI sorts it all automatically, prioritizing high-value clients like multi-family housing managers with deadline-sensitive lock changes. Turned a 40-hour admin week into 25, and our double-booking error rate dropped to zero in six months. Finally, time to grow without hiring more dispatch staff.""

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this AI handle urgent after-hours lockouts without disrupting my team?
Our custom AI acts like a vigilant night watchman, screening calls 24/7 and auto-assigning based on tech availability and proximity. It integrates with your on-call roster, sending alerts via text or app. For a mid-sized locksmith, this means no missed emergencies— we've seen 90% of after-hours jobs dispatched in under 10 minutes. Setup involves mapping your rotation, and the system learns from patterns to refine priorities, ensuring your team rests when possible while clients get immediate help. No generic chatbot; it's trained on your protocols for accurate triage.
Will this replace my existing scheduling software, or just add another layer?
We build a unified replacement, not an add-on. By integrating directly with your current tools—like Housecall Pro or your CRM—we create a single AI hub that eliminates data silos. No more double-entry for appointments or inventory. In one case, a locksmith ditched three apps, saving $2,400 yearly in fees. Our engineers handle the migration seamlessly, customizing APIs for your workflow. The result is a bespoke system you own, scalable without subscription traps, focused on locksmith realities like variable job durations.
What about data security for customer lock details?
Security is paramount in locksmithing, where access info is sensitive. We use enterprise-grade encryption and compliance standards like GDPR, storing data in fortified cloud vaults. AI processes only what's needed for tasks, with audit logs for every access. Unlike basic tools, our systems include role-based permissions so techs see only job-specific details. We've built this for regulated trades, ensuring no breaches— one client avoided fines after a routine audit. Your data stays yours, backed by our ironclad protocols.
How quickly can I see ROI from this automation?
Most locksmiths notice gains in weeks. By automating dispatch and inventory, you save 15+ hours weekly right away—translating to $1,500 monthly for a solo operator at $40/hour rates. Full ROI hits in 3-6 months, with benchmarks showing 40% productivity boosts and 25% revenue upticks from faster service. We track metrics from day one, adjusting for your volume. Think of it as upgrading from a master key to a digital skeleton key: immediate access to efficiency, compounding over time.
Can this scale if I add more vans or expand services?
Absolutely—our systems are designed for growth, like adding deadbolt installs or safe services. The AI scales effortlessly, handling 10 vans or 100 with the same reliability, using modular code that adapts to new workflows. We've scaled a two-man shop to a 15-tech fleet without downtime. Start with core automations, then layer on features like multi-location inventory. No rip-and-replace; it's built to evolve with your business, ensuring long-term value as you hire or branch out.
Do I need tech expertise on my team to use this?
No— we make it intuitive for non-tech users. Your team gets a simple dashboard and mobile app, with AI handling the heavy lifting. Training takes one session, focusing on daily tasks like confirming a dispatch. For the owner, setup involves a quick workflow chat with us. It's like installing a smart lock: plug-and-play after our experts wire it. Locksmiths with minimal digital savvy report 80% adoption in the first month, freeing you to focus on jobs, not code.
