The "Scaling Ceiling" Problem
Inventory mismanagement causing stockouts of critical hardwoods like oak and maple during peak custom order seasons for bespoke cabinetry
Manual quoting processes delaying bids on intricate woodworking projects involving dovetail joints and custom miters
Fragmented job tracking causing delays in assembly line workflows for modular furniture components
Inaccurate material cost forecasting amid fluctuating lumber prices for plywood and dimensional lumber in framing projects
Customer order errors from disconnected communication between shop floor fabricators and sales on custom millwork specifications
Overloaded scheduling bottlenecking production of structural beams and trusses during high-demand commercial buildouts
Build a Scalable Foundation for Your Woodworking Empire
With over a decade of hands-on experience in manufacturing ops, we've helped shops like yours ditch the duct-tape fixes for robust, AI-driven systems.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—scaling a woodworking shop means more than adding saws; it's about creating workflows that grow with your ambitions. We design a custom all-in-one platform that integrates inventory, quoting, scheduling, and customer management into one owned system. No more subscription sprawl. Think of it like reinforcing your shop's frame: strong, flexible, and ready for expansion without the cracks showing. Our approach starts with your daily realities—tracking exotic hardwoods or custom millwork—and builds enterprise-grade architecture that handles 10 jobs or 1,000, eliminating bottlenecks before they hit.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Unlimited Growth Potential Without the Headaches
Effortless Scaling for Bigger Orders
Effortless Scaling for Bigger Orders: As your shop grows from custom tables to full furniture lines with integrated CNC machining, our platform expands seamlessly—no new hires needed for admin. We've seen shops double output in six months, handling complex joinery jobs like mortise-and-tenon assemblies without inventory surprises or delayed shipments of exotic woods.
ROI-Driven Efficiency on the Shop Floor
ROI-Driven Efficiency on the Shop Floor: Cut downtime by predicting material needs with 95% accuracy, based on past orders and market lumber trends like quarterly pine price surges. This means less waste from overstocked walnut or rushed cherry deliveries, freeing cash for that new CNC router you've been eyeing—shops report 20% faster turnaround on cabinet orders.
Enterprise-Ready Without Enterprise Costs
Enterprise-Ready Without Enterprise Costs: Built on solid architecture, it manages growth from your garage setup to multi-site operations with ERP integration. No bottlenecks during seasonal rushes, like holiday cabinet demands for kitchen remodels, ensuring you deliver on time and keep clients coming back with repeat orders up 25%.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were scrambling with Excel for every custom mantel order—lost hours chasing lumber quotes from suppliers during the fall building rush. Now, the platform forecasts our needs based on historical cherry wood usage and auto-generates bids with precise joinery cost breakdowns. We've cut quoting time from days to hours and landed three big residential fireplace contracts last quarter alone, boosting revenue by 40%."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Woodworks in Portland, OR
"Scaling our table production was a nightmare with disjointed apps; delays in tracking dovetail assembly stages cost us a key supplier deal for a hotel chain project. After implementing their system, job tracking is automatic across our shop floor stations, and we've reduced errors by 30% while hitting deadlines on 50-unit orders. It's like having an extra foreman who never sleeps, especially during peak wedding season."
Sarah Ruiz
Operations Manager, Ruiz Custom Millwork in Austin, TX
"Lumber prices spiked 15% last spring, and our old setup couldn't keep up—overbought plywood for shelving units sat for months, tying up $15K in inventory. This platform's AI nailed our forecasts using real-time market data on oak fluctuations, saving us $12K in the first year alone. Honest to goodness, it's transformed how we bid on large-scale cabinet jobs for office fit-outs, with zero stockouts since."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this platform handle fluctuating lumber prices in woodworking?
In woodworking, lumber costs can swing wildly—think oak jumping 20% overnight. Our AIQ platform uses custom models that pull real-time market data from suppliers and integrate it with your historical orders. It forecasts needs for projects like custom shelving, adjusting quotes automatically to protect margins. We've helped shops maintain 15% better accuracy than manual methods, preventing overpays on cherry or surprises in walnut budgets. Setup involves linking your vendor APIs, and it's all owned by you—no ongoing fees for price feeds. Let's be honest, this turns price volatility from a headache into a competitive edge, especially during supply chain crunches.
Can it integrate with my existing CAD software for custom designs?
Absolutely, and it's a game-changer for woodworking pros. We build two-way integrations with tools like AutoCAD or SketchUp, pulling design specs directly into the platform for instant material estimates and cut lists. No more re-entering data for that intricate table leg pattern. For a shop we worked with, this shaved 40% off prep time on bespoke furniture runs. Our engineers ensure it's robust—handling file exports for CNC routers without glitches. You're probably thinking about compatibility; we test against your setup during discovery, making it seamless so you focus on crafting, not clunky transfers.
What if my shop grows from 5 to 50 employees—will it scale?
Growth in woodworking means more hands on lathes and sanders, but bottlenecks kill momentum. Our platform is enterprise-ready from day one, architected to handle user spikes without slowing down. It supports role-based access—designers see CAD integrations, floor leads get scheduling views—all in one unified system. A client scaled from garage ops to a 30-person team, managing double the custom door orders without adding admin staff. We monitor performance post-launch, optimizing for your expansion, like adding multi-warehouse inventory for exotic imports. No limits here; it's built to grow as fast as your business does.
How secure is the data for sensitive client designs?
Security is non-negotiable in woodworking, where custom blueprints are your IP gold. We implement end-to-end encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR, and build access controls so only authorized eyes see that heirloom chest design. Our systems include audit logs for every change, like material swaps in a project file. Unlike cloud rentals prone to breaches, you own this—hosted on secure, scalable servers we configure to your specs. Shops we've partnered with report zero incidents, even during high-volume seasons. Here's the thing: we treat your designs like our own, with regular pentests to keep vulnerabilities at bay.
What's the timeline to get this up and running in my shop?
We know downtime on the shop floor costs real money—every hour without tracking means potential mix-ups in finish applications. For most woodworking shops, we deliver a MVP in 4-6 weeks, starting with core features like inventory and quoting. Full rollout, including custom integrations for your edge bander or spray booth scheduling, takes 8-12 weeks. It begins with a quick audit of your current setup, then iterative builds with your input. One shop went live in under two months, automating their dovetail production tracking right away. We're efficient because we focus on what's essential first, scaling features as you test them—no endless beta phases.
Do you offer training for my non-tech-savvy crew?
Your woodworkers are craftsmen, not coders—and that's fine. We provide hands-on training tailored to shop life, like quick sessions on using the mobile app for updating glue-up progress mid-shift. It includes video guides for tasks such as scanning barcodes on plywood stacks. For a recent client, we trained their 15-person team in two days, with follow-up check-ins that boosted adoption to 100%. No jargon; we explain it like routing a joint—simple steps for big results. Post-launch, our support team is available for tweaks, ensuring everyone from apprentices to leads feels confident without slowing production.
