What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we overbought console tables last fall based on gut feel and sat on them for four months, costing us $15K in storage and lost opportunity. Their custom forecast, integrating our Shopify sales data, caught the demand dip early—now we're always ready for customer walk-ins without excess SKUs piling up."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Inventory Manager at Cozy Corners Furniture, a mid-sized e-commerce decor retailer
"Our e-com side was total chaos with trending ottomans selling out overnight due to Instagram Reels virality. The AI they built factors in our social media analytics and sales velocity perfectly—stockouts dropped 50% in just three months, and we've doubled our trend-response time."
Mike Rivera
Operations Lead at Urban Nest Retail, an online-first furniture brand
"Seasonal swings used to wreck our budget for holiday displays, with velvet chairs overstocked by 30% last year. This system predicted our surge accurately using historical omnichannel data, letting us order just enough—we've seen a 20% sales lift without extra waste, all within the Q4 rush."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle sudden trends in furniture like minimalist designs?
Great question—furniture trends can explode overnight, like that mid-century modern revival last year. Our custom AI doesn't just look at past sales; it incorporates external signals like Google Trends and social media buzz specific to decor. We train the model on your store's data, then layer in these trend factors. For instance, if Scandinavian styles spike, it adjusts forecasts for related items like blonde wood sideboards within days. This flexibility means you're not caught flat-footed. Setup takes about 4-6 weeks, and we fine-tune it quarterly to keep accuracy above 90%. It's built for your workflow, so integrations with tools like Shopify pull in live data seamlessly.
What if my store has multiple locations with varying demands?
Multi-location furniture retail is tricky—downtown spots might sell sleek urban pieces, while suburban ones move family room essentials. Our solution creates location-specific forecasts within one unified system. We analyze geo-tagged sales data, local seasonality (think beachy vibes in coastal areas), and even foot traffic patterns. You'll get a dashboard breaking it down per store, with aggregated views for chain-wide decisions. One client with three outlets reduced inter-store transfers by 40% after implementation. We handle the complexity without overwhelming your team—it's all automated, with alerts for imbalances like overstock in one spot and shortages in another.
How accurate are these forecasts compared to spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets are a start, but they're no match for AI when predicting something unpredictable like a viral TikTok-inspired lamp trend. Our models achieve 85-95% accuracy by using machine learning on historical patterns, plus variables like weather impacts on outdoor furniture sales. For example, we helped a store forecast a 25% dip in winter patio buys, avoiding $20K in waste. Unlike static sheets, ours update in real-time and learn from discrepancies. We benchmark against your baselines during build, ensuring it outperforms your current methods right away. And since it's custom, we can dial in specifics like supplier delays that spreadsheets ignore.
Can this integrate with my existing POS and e-commerce setup?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty—no more data trapped in silos. For furniture stores, we connect directly to systems like Lightspeed or WooCommerce, pulling sales, returns, and even customer preferences for personalized forecasting. It's two-way: forecasts can trigger auto-reorders in your inventory software. Setup involves a quick audit of your stack, then we build secure APIs. A recent project synced a client's Square POS with their BigCommerce site in under a month, cutting manual entry by 15 hours weekly. You're not locked into new tools; we enhance what you have for a smooth, owned system.
What's the cost and timeline for a custom forecasting build?
Costs vary by your store's scale, but for a mid-sized furniture retailer, expect $25K-$50K for a full custom build—far less than ongoing subscriptions adding up to that yearly. Timeline: 6-8 weeks from kickoff to live, including data migration and testing. We start with a free consult to scope your needs, like forecasting for 500+ SKUs. Post-launch, maintenance is minimal since you own it, with optional quarterly updates at a fraction of the cost. Think of it as investing in a tool that pays back through reduced overstock—clients often see ROI in 4-6 months via better cash flow.
How do you ensure the AI understands furniture-specific challenges like custom orders?
Furniture isn't widgets; custom orders for things like made-to-measure headboards add variability. We customize the AI to factor in lead times, material availability, and order personalization data from your CRM. During build, we incorporate rules for high-variety items, blending them with standard stock forecasts. For one store, this meant accurately predicting custom upholstery delays during peak seasons, preventing 30% of potential backlogs. Our team, with retail backgrounds, reviews the model against real scenarios like supply chain snags for exotic woods. It's not generic—it's tuned to your operation, with explainable outputs so you see why a forecast adjusts.
