The "Fragmented Tracking" Problem
Scattered job site updates from field crews leading to missed deadlines on custom cabinetry installations, such as delayed hinge alignments or door panel fittings
Manual material inventory checks in woodworking shops causing overordering of hardwoods like oak or cherry, resulting in stockpile waste and storage space issues
Disconnected client communication via texts and calls resulting in change order disputes during intricate trim work, such as crown molding adjustments or baseboard customizations
Untracked crew hours on framing projects, including stud placement and sheathing tasks, inflating labor costs due to overtime on residential builds
Siloed financial data from separate spreadsheets obscuring profitability on bespoke furniture builds, such as custom dining tables or built-in shelving units
Delayed invoicing after staircase installations due to incomplete job logs on riser heights, baluster spacing, and final inspections
Build Your Custom Carpenter Dashboard – Tailored for Precision Workflows
With over a decade architecting enterprise-grade systems for trades like yours, we've empowered 150+ home services firms to own their data, not chase it.
Why Choose Us
Flying blind through a sea of spreadsheets and sticky notes? We craft custom dashboards that pull data from your field apps, shop software, and client portals into one unified view. No more silos. Imagine logging into a single screen at dawn to see exact progress on that oak mantelpiece job, material levels for afternoon cuts, and pending client approvals – all updated live. Our approach starts with your workflow: we map every step from bid to billing, then build AI-enhanced visuals that highlight risks like supply delays or crew bottlenecks. It's not off-the-shelf. It's yours, engineered for the dust and demands of carpentry.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Actionable Insights That Drive Your Shop Forward
Pinpoint Project Delays Before They Cost You
Pinpoint Project Delays Before They Cost You: Like a level ensuring every cut is true, our dashboards provide instant visibility into job timelines for cabinetry and framing. Track subcontractor arrivals for drywall hangs, tool usage on table saws, and milestone hits like rough-in completions across multiple residential sites. Carpenters using similar systems report 35% fewer overruns within 6-month periods, turning chaotic builds into predictable profits with ROI visible in quarterly reports.
Optimize Material Spend with Precision Forecasting
Optimize Material Spend with Precision Forecasting: No more guessing lumber quantities for custom decks or pergolas. Dashboards forecast needs based on past jobs using historical data from joist sizing and decking patterns, reducing waste by 22% on average over a year. See live inventory from your yard to the van, ensuring you're never short on pressure-treated lumber mid-framing or overstocked on cedar for exterior trim.
Strengthen Client Relationships Through Transparent Updates
Strengthen Client Relationships Through Transparent Updates: Share secure, real-time progress views with homeowners – from blueprint approvals for kitchen islands to final sanding on hardwood floors. This cuts miscommunication on changes like countertop edge profiles, boosting repeat business by 28% within the first year. Your dashboard becomes a trust-building tool, not just internal tracking, with client portals showing photo uploads of wainscoting progress.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in paper timesheets and email chains for our cabinet jobs, especially tracking dovetail joint assemblies. Now, the dashboard flags when a crew's running long on installs for shaker-style doors, and we've shaved two days off average project times for kitchen remodels. Profits are up 18% this quarter without adding staff, thanks to better oversight on finish carpentry phases."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Cabinetry & Millwork
"Tracking walnut stock for high-end kitchens was a nightmare – constant calls to suppliers during peak remodel seasons. Their custom setup integrates our inventory app directly, alerting us to low levels before we start a build on vanity cabinets. Saved us $4,200 in rush orders last month alone, and we've cut lead times on exotic wood deliveries by 40%."
Sarah Ruiz
Operations Manager, Ruiz Fine Carpentry Services
"As a small team handling remodel trims, we struggled with billing delays after jobs wrapped, like waiting on approvals for chair rail installations. The dashboard automates invoice triggers based on completion logs for baseboard miters, and clients love the photo updates of stained finishes. Closed our books 10 days faster, no more weekend chases, and repeat trim jobs increased by 25%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How long does it take to build a custom dashboard for my carpentry business?
Typically 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to full deployment, depending on your current tools. We start with a deep dive into your workflows – say, how you track custom door installations – then prototype key views like material usage. Integration with apps like Buildertrend adds a week, but we prioritize quick wins, like live job tracking, within the first two weeks. This phased approach means you're seeing value early, not waiting months for a polished but unused system. Our track record shows 90% of clients operational within 45 days.
Will this dashboard work with my existing scheduling and estimating software?
Absolutely. We specialize in two-way integrations with popular home services tools like Housecall Pro, Xactimate, or even QuickBooks for cost tracking. For carpenters, this means pulling bid data directly into the dashboard to compare against real-time spends on things like crown molding jobs. No manual uploads – data flows securely via APIs. If your setup includes field apps for crew check-ins, we'll sync those too, ensuring site updates reflect instantly in your shop overview. We've handled over 100 such integrations, avoiding the common pitfalls of brittle connections that break during busy seasons.
What kind of data security do you provide for client project details?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where blueprints and timelines hold sensitive info. Our dashboards use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access (e.g., crew sees only their jobs, not full financials), and comply with standards like GDPR for client data. For carpenters sharing renders of custom shelving, we include audit logs for every view or edit. Hosted on AWS with daily backups, it's built to handle on-site mobile access without risks. Unlike off-the-shelf options, we customize permissions to your team structure, preventing accidental leaks during collaborative builds.
Can the dashboard help with forecasting material needs for seasonal projects?
Yes, we embed AI forecasting tailored to carpentry cycles – think ramping up for spring deck builds or holiday cabinet rushes. By analyzing your historical data on lumber usage, it predicts needs with 85-90% accuracy, factoring in variables like supplier lead times. You'll see dashboards flagging potential shortages for plywood in remodel peaks, integrated with reorder buttons. Clients report 25% less overbuying, freeing cash for tools. It's not generic; we train the model on your specific jobs, like custom staircases, to account for unique waste patterns.
How much does a custom dashboard cost for a small carpentry shop?
Pricing starts at $15,000 for a core setup, scaling to $35,000 for advanced features like AI alerts and full integrations – far below the $50K+ yearly bleed from disconnected subscriptions. For a 5-person shop handling 20-30 projects yearly, expect ROI in 4-6 months through 20% efficiency gains. We quote after scoping your needs, like tracking for bespoke furniture lines. No hidden fees; it's a one-time build with optional $500/month maintenance for updates. Compared to juggling apps at $200/user, this owns your data long-term.
Do you offer training for my non-tech-savvy crew?
Definitely. We provide hands-on sessions, both virtual and on-site, customized for field teams who might check dashboards between saw cuts. Covering basics like viewing progress on a tablet to advanced KPI reads, it's 4-6 hours total, with cheat sheets for quick reference. For carpenters, we simulate real scenarios, like pulling up material status mid-install. Follow-up support via chat ensures adoption – we've boosted team usage to 95% within a month. No jargon; it's practical, like teaching a new joinery technique.
