The "Data Blindspot" Problem
Dispatchers scrambling without real-time GPS tracking of technician locations, leading to double-booked sewer inspections and customers waiting hours for emergency drain unclogging
Inventory mismatches causing mid-job delays when PVC pipe fittings or compression valves run out during a tankless water heater installation in a residential retrofit
Missed follow-up opportunities on hydro jet drain cleaning services because customer history for recurring clogs is buried in fragmented email silos and paper logs
Overworked crews burning out from inefficient routing on back-to-back fixture replacements, spiking overtime costs by 20% during peak summer AC drain line service seasons
Inaccurate billing for hydroscopic sewer line camera inspections and repairs due to untracked labor hours on underground excavations, eroding profit margins on complex residential jobs
Seasonal demand spikes from frozen pipe bursts overwhelming forecasts, leaving you short-staffed for emergency leak repairs and slab leak detections in harsh winter conditions

With over a decade in home services tech, we've empowered 150+ plumbing firms to own their data destiny, not rent it from fragmented apps.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in spreadsheets tracking slab leak repair times during the rainy season. Now, our dashboard highlights bottlenecks like delayed pipe thaws last winter, cutting overtime by 18% and securing three repeat contracts for annual drain maintenance from better customer follow-ups. It's like having an extra foreman who never sleeps."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Riverside Plumbing & Drain
"We integrated our inventory with the scheduling app, and suddenly we're not guessing on copper pipe stock for bathroom remodels or water softener installs. Saved us $8K in overorders last quarter alone, especially on those multi-unit jobs. The real-time alerts on job delays from stuck augers? Total game-changer for keeping clients happy during extended drain cleaning shifts."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Apex Plumbing & HVAC Services
"We used to miss seasonal trends, like the post-holiday surge in water heater replacements from burst tanks. Their BI setup pulled data from our CRM on past installs and gave us forecasts that let us hire temps just in time for the rush. Revenue up 22% without the usual chaos on emergency calls—finally, data that works for us in the field, not against."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this BI solution integrate with my existing plumbing software?
We start by auditing your stack—whether it's ServiceTitan, Jobber, or QuickBooks—and build custom APIs for seamless data sync. For a typical plumbing op, this means pulling in real-time job notes from the field app into your dashboard without manual uploads. No disruptions to your workflow; we handle the heavy lifting, ensuring inventory from supplier portals flows directly into forecasts. Clients see full integration within 4-6 weeks, turning data silos into a unified view that flags issues like delayed sewer inspections instantly. It's built for your exact tools, so you're not starting from scratch.
What kind of dashboards will I get for my plumbing business?
Dashboards are fully custom, focusing on plumbing-specific metrics like average time per fixture replacement or emergency call volume by neighborhood. Picture a central view showing crew locations, parts usage in real-time, and profitability per job type—drains, pipes, or heaters. We use interactive elements for drilling down, say, into why a winter leak repair took longer than benchmarked. All mobile-friendly, so you can check from a job site. Backed by industry stats, like how top plumbers maintain 95% on-time arrivals, our setups help you hit those marks with clear, actionable visuals.
How secure is the data in your BI system for sensitive plumbing client info?
Security is non-negotiable—we encrypt all data end-to-end and comply with standards like GDPR for customer details on home addresses or service histories. For plumbers, this means protecting info on water quality tests or private property layouts. Our owned systems avoid third-party vulnerabilities, with role-based access so dispatchers see schedules but not full invoices. Regular audits and AI-monitored threats keep things tight. We've safeguarded data for 200+ home services clients without a single breach, giving you peace of mind while focusing on fixing that burst main.
Can this scale if my plumbing company expands to multiple locations?
Absolutely—our BI platforms are designed for growth, handling everything from a single van to a fleet across cities. We build in scalability from day one, like auto-adjusting forecasts for regional demand variations in flood-prone areas. A client expanding from one to five trucks saw their dashboard evolve without rebuilds, tracking KPIs per location for targeted improvements. As you add services like commercial repiping, the system adapts, maintaining real-time visibility. No hitting walls; it's enterprise-grade under the hood, proven to support 50% revenue jumps without performance dips.
What's the timeline and cost for implementing BI for plumbers?
Timelines vary by complexity, but most plumbing setups launch in 6-8 weeks: 2 weeks discovery, 3-4 for build, and 1-2 for testing and training. Costs start at $25K for a core dashboard integrating scheduling and inventory, scaling up for advanced AI forecasting. ROI hits fast—our clients recoup in 4-6 months via 20% efficiency gains on jobs like drain cleanings. No subscriptions; it's a one-time build with optional maintenance. We provide a detailed quote post-audit, tailored to your size, ensuring it fits without straining cash flow during slow seasons.
Will my team need training to use the BI dashboards?
We make it straightforward—your dispatchers and techs get hands-on sessions focused on plumbing scenarios, like interpreting route delays or inventory alerts for a rushed water line fix. No tech degrees required; interfaces mimic familiar apps with intuitive drags and filters. Post-launch, we offer 30 days of support, plus video guides for quick refreshers. A recent plumbing client had their whole team up to speed in two half-day workshops, now using it daily to shave 30 minutes off scheduling. It's empowering, not overwhelming, so everyone contributes to smarter decisions.
