What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were juggling Google Sheets for schedules and QuickBooks for invoices—it was a mess during peak summer season for residential exteriors. Now, I see exactly which crews are on track for those big commercial repaints, including real-time material burn rates, and we've shaved two days off average job times. Saved us about $8K last quarter alone on idle labor during rain delays."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera Painting Pros, Serving Suburban Homeowners in the Midwest
"Our inventory for specialty paints like low-VOC latex was always a headache; we'd run out mid-job on historic home restorations. The custom alerts integrated with our supplier portal fixed that overnight, syncing with daily usage logs. Completed three extra projects last month without delays, and our error rate dropped from 15% to under 2%. It's like having an extra foreman watching the details on color matching and surface prep."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Heritage Coatings Inc., Specializing in Restoration Projects
"Weather was killing our exterior schedules—constant rescheduling for stucco and siding jobs ate hours weekly. Their dashboard pulls in local forecasts and auto-adjusts routes based on drying times. We hit 95% on-time completions this summer, up from 70%, and clients are raving about the reliability on multi-day facade projects. Finally, data that works as hard as my team in humid climates."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How long does it take to build a custom dashboard for my painting business?
Typically, we deliver a fully functional prototype in 4-6 weeks, depending on the complexity of your current tools. For a standard painting operation with 5-10 crews, full integration and launch take about 8-10 weeks. We start with a deep dive into your workflows—like how you handle variable job scopes for interiors versus exteriors—and prioritize quick wins, such as real-time scheduling views, to get value flowing early. Unlike off-the-shelf options, our process includes iterative testing with your team on actual job sites to ensure it fits seamlessly without disrupting daily ops.
What data sources can you integrate into the dashboard?
We connect virtually any system you use, from field management apps like Jobber or ServiceTitan to accounting tools like QuickBooks and Xero. For painters, this often includes CRM platforms for client bids, supplier portals for material pricing, and even weather APIs for schedule adjustments. Our two-way integrations mean updates from crew apps flow instantly to the dashboard, eliminating manual entry. We've handled everything from Google Workspace for emails to custom Excel trackers for paint usage—ensuring a single source of truth that reflects your unique process, like tracking epoxy cure times or color matching approvals.
Is the dashboard mobile-friendly for my field crews?
Absolutely—our dashboards are fully responsive and optimized for tablets and phones, so your painters can log progress, scan materials, or check schedules right from the job site. Features like photo uploads for before-and-after shots or quick notes on surface conditions work offline too, syncing when back in range. This mobility has helped contractors reduce reporting time by 50%, letting crews focus on quality coats instead of paperwork. We customize the interface to your needs, like simplified views for foremen versus detailed analytics for office staff.
How secure is the custom dashboard for handling client information?
Security is paramount, especially for home services where you're trusted with access details and preferences. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance with standards like GDPR and SOC 2. Data is stored in secure clouds with regular audits, and we implement features like audit logs to track who views job details. For painting firms, this means protecting sensitive info on residential projects without slowing down operations. Our track record shows zero breaches in over 200 deployments, giving you peace of mind as you scale.
Can I own the dashboard outright, without ongoing fees?
Yes, that's our core advantage—you own the system completely after launch, with no recurring subscriptions beyond optional maintenance. We build it on your infrastructure or ours with full transferability, escaping the 'tool chaos' of monthly fees that add up for disconnected apps. Initial development covers everything from design to deployment, and we provide full documentation for your team or IT to manage. Many painting clients choose a one-time support package for the first year, but ownership means you're not locked in, allowing true scalability as your business grows.
What if my painting business expands—will the dashboard scale?
Our architecture is designed for growth, handling everything from solo operators to multi-crew firms with dozens of active jobs. As you add teams or enter new markets like commercial coatings, the system scales seamlessly without rebuilds— we've supported expansions that tripled user counts. Features like automated load balancing ensure performance stays snappy during peak seasons. Clients often start with core tracking and layer on advanced AI for forecasting, ensuring the dashboard evolves with your ambitions, not against them.
