The "Data Silo" Problem
Scattered project metrics across tools like Jira and Microsoft Project leave IT consulting managers guessing on delivery timelines for complex engagements
Inconsistent client reporting from disparate CRM and ticketing systems erodes trust in high-stakes IT engagements, risking contract renewals
Resource allocation blind spots in consulting teams cause overbooking and burnout, especially during peak seasons for ERP implementations
Delayed insights into ticket resolution times from ServiceNow hinder SLA compliance in managed services contracts
Fragmented billing data across timesheet and invoicing tools leads to revenue leakage in retainer-based consulting services
Lack of real-time client health scores from engagement data risks losing key accounts to competitors in competitive IT advisory markets

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Informed Decision-Making That Drives Growth
Elevate Project Oversight
Elevate Project Oversight: Imagine steering your IT projects like a seasoned air traffic controller, spotting bottlenecks in real-time. Our dashboards consolidate Jira tickets, ServiceNow incidents, and resource logs from tools like Harvest, slashing project overruns by 35% on average within the first six months. Teams report 25% fewer escalations, freeing consultants to focus on high-value innovation such as digital transformation initiatives rather than firefighting.
Strengthen Client Relationships
Strengthen Client Relationships: In client-relationship driven IT services, visibility is currency. Gain instant access to Net Promoter Scores (NPS) and engagement histories from Salesforce, enabling proactive outreach that boosts retention by 28% over quarterly reviews. No more piecing together reports from disparate sources—our system delivers polished, shareable insights that position your firm as a strategic partner in ongoing advisory roles.
Optimize Resource Utilization
Optimize Resource Utilization: Like tuning a high-performance engine, our dashboards reveal underutilized talent and looming overloads across global teams. Track billable hours against forecasts with pinpoint accuracy using integrations with Deltek or similar, improving utilization from the industry average of 65% to over 80% within one fiscal year. This directly translates to healthier margins without adding headcount, ideal for scaling consulting practices.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our project leads were drowning in spreadsheets to track client deliverables for SAP implementations. Their custom dashboard integrated our ServiceNow and Salesforce data seamlessly—now we catch issues a week early using predictive alerts, and our on-time delivery jumped from 72% to 95% in just three months. It's transformed how we manage enterprise engagements."
Sarah Chen
Director of IT Operations, TechForge Solutions (a 500-person IT consulting firm specializing in enterprise software)
"As a mid-sized IT consultancy, we struggled with visibility into team workloads across remote sites during cloud migration projects. The dashboard they built gives us real-time heatmaps of resource allocation via integration with Microsoft Azure DevOps, cutting overtime costs by 22% last quarter. The best part? It's fully customizable and owned by us—no more juggling vendor logins or compliance headaches."
Mike Rivera
Chief Technology Officer, Nexus IT Partners (a boutique firm focused on cybersecurity and cloud services)
"Client reporting was a nightmare for our quarterly business reviews; we'd spend days compiling data from Zendesk and internal utilization trackers. AIQ's solution automates it all, pulling from our ticketing system and incorporating utilization stats with automated SLA dashboards. We've retained three major accounts this year that might have slipped away otherwise—pure game-changer for our advisory practice."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards differ from off-the-shelf tools like Tableau?
Unlike Tableau's generic templates, our dashboards are purpose-built for IT services challenges, integrating directly with your existing stack without data export hassles. We use advanced frameworks to create scalable, owned systems that evolve with your workflows—think real-time SLA monitoring tailored to your consulting model, not one-size-fits-all charts. Clients typically see 40% faster insights because we eliminate the setup time and customization limitations of SaaS tools. Plus, you own the code, avoiding ongoing licensing fees that can exceed $10K annually for mid-sized firms.
What data sources can be integrated into the dashboard?
We connect virtually any IT services ecosystem, from CRM platforms like Salesforce to project management tools such as Jira or Asana, and even niche systems like time-tracking software. Our deep API expertise ensures bidirectional sync, pulling in billable hours, ticket statuses, and client feedback without manual intervention. For example, we've unified data from ServiceNow and QuickBooks for a consultancy, creating a single view of profitability per engagement. Security is paramount—we implement encrypted connections compliant with industry standards, safeguarding sensitive project details.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom dashboard?
From initial consultation to live deployment, most projects wrap in 4-6 weeks, depending on complexity. We kick off with a one-week discovery to map your KPIs, followed by two weeks of prototyping and integration. The final phase includes testing and training, ensuring your team is up to speed. This timeline is 50% faster than typical agency builds because we leverage our in-house platforms and proven blueprints for IT services. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of support to iron out any kinks, with 98% of clients reporting immediate value.
Can the dashboard scale as our IT services firm grows?
Absolutely—scalability is baked in from day one. Our architecture handles everything from 10-user startups to 500-employee enterprises, supporting increased data volumes without slowdowns. We've scaled dashboards for firms doubling their client base, maintaining sub-second load times even with terabytes of historical project data. Unlike rigid no-code solutions, our custom code adapts seamlessly to new tools or expanded teams, ensuring long-term ROI. Industry benchmarks show our clients achieve 25% better performance metrics as they grow, avoiding the costly migrations that plague 60% of growing SMBs.
What security measures are in place for client data?
We treat data security as non-negotiable, implementing enterprise-grade protocols like end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access controls. All dashboards comply with SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, with regular penetration testing to fortify against breaches. For IT services, where client IP is king, we include audit logs for every data access and anonymization features for sensitive metrics. Our track record? Zero incidents across 150+ deployments, giving you peace of mind while focusing on billable work. We also offer on-premise options for ultra-sensitive environments.
How do you ensure the dashboard provides actionable insights?
Actionability is our north star—we design with IT professionals in mind, embedding AI-driven recommendations like 'escalate this ticket to prevent SLA breach' directly into views. Drawing from benchmarks where top firms track 15 core KPIs, we prioritize those that drive decisions, such as utilization forecasts and client risk scores. Users get drill-down capabilities to explore root causes, plus automated alerts via email or Slack. The result? Teams act 30% faster on insights, as seen in our client outcomes, turning data into revenue-protecting strategies rather than passive reports.
