"Before AIQ Labs, our team wasted Fridays on manual reconciliation of billable hours from disparate CRM tools—it was stifling our strategic advisory momentum.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch with custom code, not assemble off-the-shelf tools, giving you true ownership over a scalable system that evolves with your consulting practice.

Unlike no-code assemblers, our production-ready frameworks ensure 99% reliability, preventing the downtime that plagues 70% of consulting workflows.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle the unique needs of consulting workflows?

We start with a detailed audit of your processes, such as RFP responses or client onboarding, to build custom AI logic that understands nuances like variable engagement scopes. For instance, our systems can auto-populate proposal templates with past project data while flagging risks based on industry benchmarks. This isn't one-size-fits-all; it's engineered for professional services, where relationships and precision matter most. Firms typically see implementation in 4-6 weeks, with immediate gains in efficiency—reducing manual input by 70% without losing the personal touch your clients expect.

What kind of time savings can a consulting firm expect?

Based on our deployments, consulting teams reclaim 20-30 hours per week per consultant from tasks like data reconciliation and report generation. One firm cut their monthly reporting cycle from 15 hours to 2, allowing more focus on strategic advising. ROI hits quickly: with average billing rates of $200/hour, that's $50K+ in recovered revenue annually for a 10-person team. We quantify this upfront in your consultation, tailoring projections to your workflow for realistic, measurable outcomes.

Is the system secure for handling client confidential information?

Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in professional services. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance with standards like GDPR and SOC 2. Your client data stays within your owned system, with audit trails for every automation step. Unlike cloud subscriptions prone to breaches, our custom builds include two-way API validations to prevent unauthorized access. We've helped regulated consulting arms integrate without a single incident, ensuring trust remains intact while boosting efficiency.

How much does custom workflow automation cost for a consulting firm?

Costs vary by complexity, but for a mid-sized firm, expect $25K-$75K for a full build, with payback in 3-6 months via time savings. This replaces multiple $1K+/month subscriptions, netting 40-60% cost reductions long-term. We provide a fixed-scope proposal after discovery, focusing on high-ROI elements like proposal automation first. No hidden fees—our model emphasizes ownership, so you're not locked into ongoing vendor dependencies that drain budgets in expertise-driven industries.

Can this integrate with our existing tools like Salesforce or Asana?

Yes, we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with tools common in consulting, such as Salesforce for CRM, Asana for project tracking, and QuickBooks for billing. Our custom APIs ensure real-time data flow without manual exports—think auto-updating client timelines from email interactions. We've connected these for dozens of firms, resolving common pain points like sync delays that cause billing errors. Post-deployment, we monitor and optimize to maintain 99% accuracy, scaling as your toolset evolves.

What if our firm's workflows change over time?

Flexibility is built-in; our systems use modular AI frameworks that adapt to shifts, like new service lines or regulatory updates. We include quarterly reviews in our partnership, retraining models on fresh data to keep automations relevant—preventing obsolescence that hits 50% of off-the-shelf tools. For example, one client pivoted to remote advisory during a merger; we reconfigured their system in two weeks, maintaining 25-hour savings. This ongoing evolution ensures your investment compounds, supporting growth without rebuilds.
