Why Choose Us

Let's be honest, off-the-shelf CRMs treat your shop like just another retailer. You're probably thinking, 'My workflow isn't cookie-cutter.' That's why we craft a custom CRM from the ground up. We dive into your daily grind— from sketching initial designs to tracking sawdust-covered quotes—and build a system that fits like a perfectly sanded joint. No subscriptions, just a unified tool you own, integrating with your inventory logs and project trackers for seamless lead flow.

Embed AI to score leads based on project complexity and client history

Scale with your shop, handling everything from small repairs to large millwork contracts

Unlock Your Shop's Lead Potential

Precision Lead Qualification

Precision Lead Qualification: Picture this: A client calls about a custom oak mantel for a residential build. Our system instantly pulls their past interactions from site visits, scores the lead on budget fit using material cost data, and flags it for your top installer. Result? You close 30% more deals without the guesswork, keeping your crews billable on-site and reducing idle time by 15 hours per week.

Streamlined Follow-Up Automation

Streamlined Follow-Up Automation: No more sticky notes on your workbench. We automate nurturing for those hesitant buyers eyeing reclaimed wood pieces for barn door conversions, sending personalized updates on material availability within 24 hours. Shops see response times drop from days to hours, boosting conversion by 25% during peak seasons like spring renovations.

ROI-Driven Insights for Shop Growth

ROI-Driven Insights for Shop Growth: Track every lead from initial sketch to signed contract for millwork installations, seeing exactly which trade show or referral drives your best margins on FSC-certified hardwoods. It's like having a digital blueprint for profits—our clients report 15-20% higher close rates on high-ticket custom jobs, with full ROI visibility in under 30 days.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our leads from the local builder expo were buried in emails and voicemails about custom door frames. Now, the custom CRM flags urgent orders for solid-core oak panels right away, and we've landed three big contracts worth $120K in the last quarter alone. It's saved us about 10 hours a week on admin, letting us focus on fabrication runs."

Mike Harlan

Shop Foreman, Harlan Woodworks

"I was skeptical about ditching our old spreadsheet setup, but this system integrates with our CNC software perfectly for routing custom panels. Last month, it helped us follow up on a series of bench commissions for office lobbies we nearly missed, turning them into $45K in revenue from walnut finishes. Feels like it was built in our shop."

Sarah Ruiz

Owner, Ruiz Custom Millwork

"Dealing with seasonal rushes for holiday retail display cases was a nightmare—leads everywhere from fixture inquiries. Their CRM organizes it all, even pulling in client wood preference notes from years back on maple veneers. We've cut quote errors by half on laminate jobs and picked up steady repeat business from architects for $200K annual contracts."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery Dive

We start by shadowing your team—watching how leads come in from site visits or calls. Then, we blueprint your custom needs, ensuring the CRM aligns with your lathe-to-delivery workflow.

Step 2

Build and Integrate

Our engineers code your system, weaving in AI for smart lead routing. We connect it to your existing tools, like inventory for walnut stock checks, creating a single hub you control.

Step 3

Test and Launch

We run field tests with your crew, tweaking for real-shop scenarios like dust-covered tablets. Once it's humming, you own it fully—no ongoing fees, just pure productivity.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch with code, not drag-and-drop templates, so your CRM evolves with your shop's growth, unlike rigid no-code setups that break under heavy use.

True ownership means no subscription traps; you get a scalable asset that pays for itself in months through better lead conversion, not endless vendor fees.

Our field-tested approach comes from working with manufacturers—we know woodworking bottlenecks like mismatched grain specs, and we engineer around them.

Deep integrations go beyond surface links; we create two-way data flows with your CAD software, ensuring leads include precise measurements from day one.

ROI focus: Every feature ties back to your bottom line, like AI scoring that prioritizes $10K+ projects over small fixes, maximizing crew efficiency.

No 'one-size-fits-all'—we tailor to your niche, whether you're in custom cabinetry or restoration, avoiding the generic pitfalls that frustrate trade pros.

Proven scalability: Our systems handle volume spikes, like prepping for home shows, without crashing, unlike fragile off-the-shelf options.

Hands-on support from builders who've run shops; we don't just code, we consult on workflows to cut waste in your lead-to-production pipeline.

Security built for your data: Robust protections for client blueprints and specs, ensuring compliance in an industry full of proprietary designs.

Long-term partnership: We stick around for updates, growing your CRM as your shop expands into new markets like sustainable sourcing.

Common Questions

How does this custom CRM handle leads from walk-in customers at my shop?

We design it to capture details right on your tablet or phone—snap a photo of their sketch, log measurements, and tag preferences like cherry versus maple. The AI then scores it based on project potential, routing high-value ones to your lead carpenter instantly. No more scribbled notes lost in the sawdust. For a mid-sized shop, this setup typically integrates with your existing POS in about two weeks, ensuring every inquiry turns into trackable data that feeds your workflow seamlessly.

What's the difference between your system and generic CRMs like Salesforce?

Generic tools force you into their boxes, ignoring woodworking specifics like variable lead times for custom engraving. We build yours around your process—say, automating alerts when a lead mentions 'reclaimed barn wood' to check stock levels. You're not wrestling with irrelevant features; everything's custom, from lead forms that include joint type fields to dashboards showing close rates per supplier. Clients often see a 35% drop in manual entry time, making it feel like an extension of your workbench rather than a clunky add-on.

How long does it take to build and launch this for my woodworking business?

From our initial chat to full rollout, it's usually 6-8 weeks for a shop your size. We spend the first two weeks mapping your flow—things like how leads from architect referrals differ from retail walk-ins. Then, building and testing takes four weeks, with your team involved for tweaks. Launch includes training, so your foreman can start using it on the floor without hiccups. It's field-tested to minimize downtime, and we've done this for shops handling everything from small repairs to full kitchen installs.

Can it integrate with my current tools, like QuickBooks or shop management software?

Absolutely—we specialize in deep, two-way integrations. For instance, a new lead for a custom shelving unit auto-pulls pricing from QuickBooks and checks your lumber inventory via your shop software. No more double-entry errors that lead to underquoting on plywood jobs. Our engineers ensure it's robust, handling data syncs even during peak hours. One client synced it with their CNC router planner, cutting quote prep from hours to minutes and boosting their monthly output by 20%.

What if my shop grows and needs more features down the line?

Our systems are built scalable, like expandable shop space. Start with core lead tracking for your current crew of 15, and as you add apprentices or new lines like eco-friendly finishes, we update it affordably. No starting over—just modular additions, such as AI forecasting for material needs during expansion. We've scaled CRMs for shops doubling revenue in a year, ensuring it grows with you without the 'subscription creep' of off-the-shelf tools. It's yours to own and evolve.

Is this secure for sensitive client designs in the woodworking industry?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with proprietary sketches or historical restoration specs. We use enterprise-grade encryption and role-based access, so only your designer sees full blueprints. Data stays in your owned system, not some cloud vendor's. For compliance, it logs all changes, perfect for audits on large commercial projects. Shops using our setup report zero breaches in years, giving peace of mind when sharing digital proofs with high-end clients.
