What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd scramble with paper logs for night calls, missing half our residential lockouts in busy neighborhoods like downtown Seattle. Their custom AI now auto-sorts emergencies by urgency—such as prioritizing home invasions—and pings our vans with optimal routes. Last quarter, we handled 15 extra deadbolt rekey jobs without adding staff, and response times dropped to 18 minutes. It's like having a second dispatcher who never sleeps."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Lock & Key Services (Serving Seattle Metro Area)
"Inventory was a nightmare; we'd run out of transponder keys mid-rush during peak auto lockout seasons. The AI they built pulls from our past jobs, local police alerts on car thefts, and weather data to stock just right for both automotive and residential needs. Saved us $2,800 in overstock last year on unused padlocks, and our techs are out the door 25% faster, completing 10 more jobs weekly without delays."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Urban Secure Locks (Chicago-Based Multi-Service Provider)
"We were buried in follow-up calls for smart lock installs after tenant turnovers in apartment complexes. Now, the system sends tailored reminders via SMS, like 'Schedule your August rekey for the new lease,' and even suggests upsells based on client history, such as adding keypad access. Bookings jumped 18% in three months for our commercial properties—finally, tech that gets our multi-unit residential side without the hassle."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle the unpredictability of locksmith emergencies?
Locksmith work thrives on quick pivots, so we design AI that learns from your call patterns—like prioritizing residential break-ins over routine changes. Using machine learning trained on anonymized industry data, it auto-routes based on factors such as location, time, and urgency descriptors from the caller. For instance, if a job involves a stranded vehicle, it flags nearby vans with the right tools. Clients see response times drop by 40% because the system anticipates chaos, not just reacts. We start with your historical logs to customize, ensuring it fits your service radius and team shifts without overwhelming your dispatchers. It's built tough for 24/7 reliability, with fallback manual overrides always available.
Can this custom AI integrate with my existing locksmith software?
Absolutely—integration is our core strength. We connect seamlessly with tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or custom lock-specific CRMs via robust APIs, creating a single pane for jobs, inventory, and billing. No more double-entry errors that plague 60% of field services pros. For example, when a tech completes a rekey, the AI auto-updates stock levels and invoices, syncing to QuickBooks in real-time. Our approach avoids brittle plugins; we engineer deep, two-way data flows that handle locksmith quirks like variable part costs. Post-launch, we monitor for hiccups, refining as your business evolves—say, adding smart lock integrations. This unified setup has helped similar firms cut admin time by 25 hours weekly.
What about data security for sensitive client lock info?
Security is non-negotiable in locksmithing, where you're trusted with home and business access details. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and SOC 2, ensuring client data—like addresses and key codes—stays locked down. Our systems use role-based access so only authorized techs see job specifics, with audit logs tracking every view. Unlike cloud-heavy alternatives, you own the infrastructure, minimizing breach risks from third-party subs. We've fortified solutions for services handling valuables, incorporating AI anomaly detection to flag unusual access attempts. Regular penetration testing keeps it ironclad, giving you peace of mind while focusing on safe, efficient service delivery.
How long does it take to build and see results from your custom AI?
Timelines vary by complexity, but most locksmith setups launch in 6-8 weeks—faster than piecing together off-the-shelf tools. We kick off with a two-week discovery to blueprint your needs, then build and test iteratively. Early wins, like automated dispatching, roll out in phase one for quick impact. A recent client, a mid-sized firm, went live with core features in five weeks and reported 30% more jobs captured within the first month. Full optimization, including inventory AI, follows, with measurable ROI like reduced fuel costs from better routing. We provide milestones and demos throughout, ensuring alignment. Post-launch, our support team tweaks for ongoing gains, adapting to seasonal spikes without downtime.
Is this scalable if my locksmith business grows to multiple locations?
Yes, scalability is baked in from day one. Our custom builds use modular architecture, so adding vans, techs, or branches—like expanding from urban cores to suburbs—means simple expansions, not overhauls. The AI distributes workloads intelligently, balancing calls across locations while maintaining local inventory insights. For a growing operation, it can incorporate multi-site dashboards showing cross-location metrics, like total rekeys completed. We've scaled systems for services doubling in size, handling 200% more volume without performance dips. Costs stay predictable since you're not locked into per-user fees; instead, it grows with your revenue. We plan for this upfront, forecasting needs based on your expansion goals.
Do you offer training for my team on the new AI system?
Training is a priority to ensure smooth adoption. We deliver hands-on sessions tailored to locksmith teams—covering dispatchers on call handling and techs on mobile alerts—via video calls and in-app guides. For example, we simulate emergency scenarios to practice AI routing. Sessions last 4-6 hours initially, with follow-up check-ins at 30 and 90 days to address real-world use, like integrating with on-site lock diagnostics. Our materials include quick-reference cheat sheets for common tasks, reducing the learning curve to under a week. Clients find their teams up to speed fast, with 90% reporting confidence boosts. This investment pays off in faster job turns and fewer errors, maximizing your custom system's value.
