Why Choose Us
Tire shops thrive on precision, much like balancing a set of high-performance radials. But without unified data visibility, you're navigating blindfolded through supply chain twists and customer demands. At AIQ Labs, we engineer enterprise-grade BI solutions from the ground up, integrating your POS, inventory systems, and service logs into a single, real-time dashboard. No more silos. Expect actionable KPIs on tire turnover rates, bay efficiency, and predictive maintenance alerts. Our proven track record shows shops reducing inventory costs by 22% on average, all while scaling without the subscription sprawl.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Powers Your Shop's Growth
Real-Time Inventory Mastery
Real-Time Inventory Mastery: Visualize stock levels across all tire types instantly, including OEM radials and aftermarket winter compounds. Our dashboards flag slow-movers like winter treads in summer, cutting holding costs by 25% and ensuring you're never caught short during peak rush hours for SUV and fleet services. Industry benchmarks from NADA data show this visibility alone boosts cash flow efficiency by 18% in multi-bay tire centers.
Precision Service Scheduling
Precision Service Scheduling: Track bay utilization and technician performance with KPI metrics tailored to tire rotations, wheel alignments, and suspension checks. Reduce idle time by 40% within the first quarter of implementation, as seen in our client case studies with independent garages, and turn data into decisions that keep customers' vehicles road-ready without delays in high-volume seasons.
Customer Insight-Driven Upsells
Customer Insight-Driven Upsells: Analyze tread wear patterns and mileage data from TPMS sensors to predict replacement needs for run-flat and performance tires. This informs proactive outreach via SMS alerts, increasing repeat business by 35% for shops using our systems within six months. No guesswork—just data-backed recommendations that build loyalty and revenue through personalized service bundles.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were drowning in Excel sheets for tire inventory—constantly overordering all-seasons and losing sales on premium performance tires during peak summer drives. Their custom dashboard integrated our POS system in just two weeks, and now we forecast demand using historical sales data, saving us about $15K last quarter on excess stock while boosting premium tire sales by 22%."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan's Tire & Auto Pros in Denver, CO
"Our shop handles 200 wheel alignments a month for sedans and pickups, but tracking customer histories on service intervals was a nightmare with paper logs. The BI tool they built gives us real-time views on rotation cycles and alignment histories, cutting no-shows by half in the first two months and letting us upsell tire balances more effectively during routine visits. It's like having an extra ASE-certified mechanic for data insights."
Sara Lopez
Service Manager, QuickFit Auto & Tire Center in Atlanta, GA
"We used to fly blind on supplier pricing swings for commercial truck tires and OTR radials. AIQ's solution pulls in data automatically from our ERP, alerting us to deals and overprices via mobile notifications. In the first three months, we negotiated better rates with major vendors like Michelin and improved gross margins by 12% on fleet contracts without extra effort from our procurement team."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your BI solution handle data from our existing tire shop software?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like TireMaster or Shopmonkey, pulling in real-time data on inventory levels, service logs, and customer profiles without disrupting your workflow. Our custom code ensures seamless syncing, eliminating manual uploads that waste hours. For a typical tire shop, this means instant visibility into stock for 500+ SKUs, with built-in error checks to maintain accuracy. We've seen integration times average 10-14 days, followed by immediate ROI through reduced overstock. It's all owned by you—no API keys to renew or vendor lock-in.
Can these dashboards predict tire demand during peak seasons?
Absolutely. Our AI models analyze historical sales, local driving conditions, and even weather forecasts to predict needs for all-season or snow tires. For instance, a mid-sized shop using our system anticipated a 20% spike in winter tire sales last year, avoiding stockouts and adding $8K in revenue. Unlike generic tools, we tailor algorithms to automotive specifics like vehicle type distributions in your area. Dashboards update hourly, providing alerts so you can reorder proactively. This data-driven approach has helped clients cut excess inventory by 28%, freeing up capital for shop expansions.
What kind of KPIs are most useful for tire shops?
We focus on tire-specific metrics like inventory turnover ratio, average revenue per tire sale, service bay utilization, and customer lifetime value based on repeat alignments. These KPIs are displayed in intuitive, real-time dashboards that highlight trends, such as a dip in rotation services signaling maintenance education needs. Benchmarks from our automotive clients show top performers achieving 4-6 inventory turns annually; our tools help you benchmark against that. Custom alerts notify you of variances, enabling quick adjustments. Overall, this visibility empowers informed decisions, boosting efficiency by 25% on average without overwhelming your team.
Is the system secure for handling customer vehicle data?
Security is paramount in automotive, where customer data includes sensitive details like VINs and service histories. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance to standards like GDPR and PCI-DSS. For tire shops, this means protected records of tire installations and warranties, preventing breaches that could cost thousands in fines. Our in-house platforms have zero incidents in five years. We also include audit trails for every data access, giving you peace of mind during busy seasons. Setup includes training on secure practices, ensuring your team's adoption without risks.
How much customization is involved, and what's the timeline?
Every solution is 100% custom-built to your shop's workflow—whether you're a single-location outfit or a chain with multiple bays. We start with a deep audit of your processes, like how you track radial versus bias-ply stock, then design dashboards accordingly. Timelines typically span 4-6 weeks: one for discovery, two for building and testing, and one for deployment. This beats off-the-shelf delays, with clients reporting full ROI within three months. Post-launch, we provide tweaks based on usage, ensuring the system evolves with changes like new tire lines. It's an investment in ownership, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Will this replace our current software subscriptions?
Our goal is to unify your stack, replacing fragmented subscriptions with a single, owned BI system that integrates everything. For tire shops bogged down by separate inventory and CRM tools, we consolidate into one dashboard, slashing monthly fees by up to 60%. We've helped clients ditch three to five vendors, saving $2K+ annually while gaining advanced features like AI forecasting. It's not about ripping out everything overnight; we phase in gradually, ensuring no downtime. The result? A streamlined operation where data flows freely, letting you focus on tires, not tech headaches.
