Why Custom Forecasting Transforms Your Operations

Slash Inventory Costs Without Sacrificing Availability

Slash Inventory Costs Without Sacrificing Availability: Our system predicts demand with 92% accuracy, based on your job mix—residential kitchen rewires or commercial office upgrades—factoring in local building permit trends. Electricians using it report 30% less capital locked in unused QO breakers and MC cable, freeing up funds for hiring that extra licensed journeyman or upgrading your service van to handle 20% more calls.

Boost Job Completion Rates and Client Satisfaction

Boost Job Completion Rates and Client Satisfaction: Never turn down a same-day GFCI outlet repair because you're out of stock. By forecasting based on your local market trends like new home constructions and crew schedules, we ensure parts are ready, reducing delays by 45% on average over a 6-month period. Happy clients mean repeat business and referrals in your tight-knit suburban community.

Streamline Van Loading for Faster Site Arrivals

Streamline Van Loading for Faster Site Arrivals: Lighten the load with just-in-time stocking tailored to each job type, like stocking extra BX cable for apartment wiring runs. Our AI factors in travel routes, typical punch lists for code inspections, and historical job durations, cutting prep time by 25% and letting your team hit the road quicker—essential when every hour counts during summer peak season for AC installs.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's system, we'd overstock on 12/2 Romex for slow winters and scramble in spring with call volumes doubling. Now, our forecasts match our residential service tickets perfectly—we saved $8,000 last year on excess wire alone, and our techs aren't hauling dead weight in the vans anymore, boosting daily routes by 10%."

Mike Rivera

Owner, Rivera Electric Services, serving Phoenix metro area

"Storm season used to wipe us out on whole-home surge protectors during Florida hurricanes. Their custom AI looks at our past outage data, local weather patterns, and supplier ETAs for brands like Eaton, so we're prepared. Jobs that dragged on for days now wrap in hours, and we've picked up 15% more emergency contracts in the last rainy season alone."

Sarah Chen

Operations Manager, Apex Wiring Solutions

"I was skeptical about AI for inventory, but this thing nailed our Siemens panelboard needs during a 50-unit apartment complex retrofit last quarter. No shortages on main lugs or neutrals, no waste—cut our holding costs by half in three months, saving us from $12K in expedited shipping fees. It's like having a logistics guy who never sleeps."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Data Mapping

We dive into your current workflows—reviewing service tickets, van inventories, and supplier patterns—to map exactly what drives your electrical supply needs. This sets the foundation for a forecast that's truly yours.

Step 2

AI Model Customization

Our engineers build and train the AI using your data, incorporating variables like seasonal rewiring booms and local building code changes. We test rigorously to hit 90%+ accuracy before deployment.

Step 3

Integration and Launch

We wire the system into your tools for automated alerts and reorders. Training your team takes just one session, and we monitor performance for the first month to fine-tune for optimal results.

Why We're Different

We code from scratch using advanced frameworks, not patchwork no-code tools, ensuring your forecasting system evolves with your business without breaking under load.
True ownership means no endless subscriptions—once built, it's yours, integrated deeply to prevent the data silos that plague most electricians' operations.
Our expertise in home services avoids generic pitfalls; we understand the chaos of job-site surprises and build flexibility for that reality.
Production-grade scalability handles growth from 5 vans to 50, unlike off-the-shelf apps that cap out at basic reporting.
We focus on your exact workflow, like prioritizing high-margin jobs, rather than forcing you into rigid templates.
End-to-end accountability: from initial consult to ongoing tweaks, we own the results, not just the build.
Proven in trades: We've deployed for plumbers and HVAC pros, so electrical forecasting leverages battle-tested models.
No superficial integrations—our two-way APIs sync real-time with your dispatch software for instant updates.
Client-centric design: Built by former operations managers who get the frustration of a empty stock shelf mid-install.
Measurable ROI emphasis: Every system includes benchmarks tied to your KPIs, like reduced overtime from stock chases.

Common Questions

How does your forecasting handle unpredictable emergency calls for electricians?

Emergencies are the heartbeat of our trade, so we build in buffers based on your call logs and local incident data. The AI analyzes patterns—like frequent outages in older neighborhoods—and suggests safety stock for high-demand items such as fuses or temporary lighting. For one client, this cut emergency stockouts by 60% without bloating overall inventory. It's all custom-tuned during setup to reflect your response radius and typical rush-hour jobs. We also integrate with your dispatch system for real-time adjustments if a big storm hits.

What data do you need from my electrical business to get started?

We start simple: your past 12-24 months of service tickets, invoice histories, and current inventory lists from your warehouse or van logs. No need for fancy formats—we handle spreadsheets or exports from tools like ServiceTitan. During discovery, we'll map how your crew uses items, like preferring certain gauge wires for residential versus commercial. This ensures the model captures nuances, like slower-moving smart home components. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, and we anonymize everything for privacy.

Can this system integrate with my existing scheduling software?

Absolutely—seamless integration is our hallmark. Whether you're on Housecall Pro, Jobber, or even custom spreadsheets, we create deep API connections to pull job schedules and push forecast updates. For electricians, this means the AI auto-adjusts stock predictions when a new rewiring bid books multiple days. We've linked with over 20 platforms without a hitch, reducing manual tweaks by 80%. If your setup is unique, we build custom bridges to keep data flowing one-way or two-way as needed.

How accurate is the forecasting, and what if it misses something?

Our models hit 90-95% accuracy for established patterns, benchmarked against industry standards where generic tools lag at 70%. We train on your specifics—like seasonal kitchen remodels spiking outlet needs—and include variance alerts for outliers. If a prediction slips, say due to a supply chain hiccup, built-in overrides let you manually adjust, and the AI learns from it. Post-launch, we review metrics monthly; one electrician client refined theirs to 92% within two quarters, preventing a $2K overstock on panels.

Is this forecasting system scalable as my electrical company grows?

Yes, designed for it. Starting with 5-10 techs? It handles that. Expanding to 20 vans? The architecture scales effortlessly, adding modules for multi-location warehouses or franchise tracking. We've built for firms growing from $2M to $10M revenue, incorporating features like regional demand variations. Unlike rigid SaaS, ours doesn't nickel-and-dime for users—it's a one-time build with optional maintenance. Your investment compounds as complexity increases, keeping costs predictable while efficiency soars.

What makes your solution better than off-the-shelf inventory apps for trades?

Off-the-shelf apps treat all businesses the same, ignoring electrical specifics like code-compliant material tracking or the perishability of certain components in humid storage. We craft yours around your workflow—factoring in job durations, crew sizes, and even vehicle weight limits for vans. This custom fit delivers 40% better waste reduction, per our benchmarks. Plus, you own the system outright, dodging subscription traps that eat 20% of your margins. It's enterprise-grade reliability without the enterprise price tag.
