Join 250+ home services businesses with optimized inventory and zero surprise shortages
The "Stockpile Shortfall" Problem
Unpredictable material runs during peak renovation seasons, leading to 20-30% excess drywall and lumber shortages in Q3 home flips
Overbuying hardware for one-off custom builds, such as specialty hinges and latches for kitchen cabinetry, tying up capital in unsold stock
Delays from last-minute supplier rushes for exotic woods like Brazilian cherry or teak on high-end kitchen remodels
Wasted time tracking scattered inventory across job sites and shops
Seasonal swings in demand for finishing materials like paint, stains, and sealants disrupting cash flow during spring bathroom overhauls
Client delays from mismatched stock levels of tile or grout on tight-deadline bathroom remodels, causing 1-2 week setbacks

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains Tailored to Your Trade
Precision Demand Prediction
Precision Demand Prediction: Forecast exact quantities of oak flooring, maple cabinetry, or galvanized screws for each project type, including remodels and new builds. Our models achieve 92% accuracy, based on benchmarks from 200+ home services ops, preventing the 25% average loss from rushed orders during peak seasons.
Cash Flow Optimization
Cash Flow Optimization: Reduce overstock by 35-50% for items like plywood sheets and roofing shingles, as seen in our carpentry clients over a 12-month period. This means more capital for expanding your team or investing in premium tools, without the drag of unused plywood gathering dust in your yard.
Seamless Project Continuity
Seamless Project Continuity: Eliminate site delays that frustrate clients and crews on kitchen or deck installations. With proactive alerts for arriving shipments of lumber or fixtures, materials sync perfectly with your timelines, boosting on-time completion rates by up to 40% and enhancing your reputation in competitive bids for local renovations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd overorder crown molding and base trim for every custom mantel job and end up with stacks of waste in the warehouse. Their system nailed our forecasts for a big kitchen renovation series last summer—cut our material costs by 28% and kept the crew moving without a hitch on a $150K project."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Carpentry & Renovations, serving the Midwest market
"Tracking inventory across three job sites was chaos, especially during hurricane season rebuilds when we needed extra plywood and fasteners. After implementing their custom AI, we predicted needs down to the nail, saving us two weeks of downtime on a 500 sq ft deck project and about $4,500 in rush shipping fees."
Sara Lopez
Operations Lead, Lopez Woodworks & Decking Specialists, Florida-based
"Generic software never accounted for our specialty in reclaimed barn wood sourcing and its variable lead times. AIQ built something that factors in supplier variability—we went from constant shortages to having everything ready for a 12-unit townhome gig in under 6 months, finishing 10 days early and under budget by $12K."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle variable project scopes in carpentry?
We build models that learn from your historical data, including bid variations and on-site changes. For instance, if a client alters a staircase design mid-build, the AI adjusts forecasts in real-time by analyzing patterns from similar past jobs. This flexibility ensures you order just enough walnut treads without excess. Unlike generic tools, ours incorporates carpentry-specific factors like wood grain variability and crew efficiency rates, achieving up to 95% accuracy in dynamic environments. Setup involves a one-time mapping of your workflow, followed by ongoing refinements based on your feedback.
What if I already use inventory software—can this integrate?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations with tools like QuickBooks, Jobber, or Housecall Pro common in home services. For carpenters, this means pulling job schedules directly to forecast needs for plywood sheets or dovetail joints. No more manual exports. Our process starts with an audit of your stack, then we code custom connectors for seamless data flow. Clients typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with immediate ROI from reduced errors—our benchmarks show 30% faster month-end reconciliations.
How accurate is the forecasting for seasonal carpentry demands?
Our AI leverages machine learning trained on home services data, factoring in regional trends like spring deck builds or winter interior refits. Accuracy hits 90-95% for carpenters, based on 150+ deployments, by analyzing sales history, weather data, and economic indicators. For example, it predicts surges in exterior siding needs during mild winters. We customize thresholds to your tolerance—say, alerting at 80% stock for high-demand items. Post-launch, the system self-improves, cutting prediction errors by 15% in the first quarter alone.
Is this solution scalable as my carpentry business grows?
Yes, designed for growth from solo ops to multi-crew firms. We use scalable frameworks that handle increased project volume without performance dips—proven in cases where clients scaled from 20 to 80 jobs annually. Features like modular expansions allow adding variables, such as new material lines or subcontractor inputs. Ownership means you control upgrades, avoiding subscription hikes. One client, a growing remodeler, integrated it across five sites, reducing stock discrepancies by 45% while expanding revenue 60%.
What kind of support do you provide after implementation?
Ongoing support is baked in, with a dedicated account lead for quarterly reviews and tweaks. For carpenters, this includes monitoring forecast performance against actual usage, like adjusting for unexpected trim shortages on cabinet installs. We offer 24/7 monitoring for the first three months, then monthly check-ins. Training covers your team via hands-on sessions, and our knowledge base auto-updates with tips for optimizing alerts. This ensures sustained benefits, with 98% of clients reporting no major issues after year one.
How much does a custom inventory forecasting system cost for a small carpentry shop?
Costs are tailored to your scale, starting at $15,000 for a basic setup for shops under 10 employees, covering discovery, build, and integration. For mid-sized operations with multiple sites, expect $25,000-$40,000, including advanced features like mobile syncing. This is a one-time investment for full ownership, versus $2,000+ yearly in subscriptions elsewhere. ROI typically hits in 4-6 months through 30-50% waste reductions—our carpenters recoup via fewer emergency orders and smoother project cash flow.
