This is built from the ground up to match your exact routes, client types, and inventory quirks. Think of it as a master plumber's intuition, powered by algorithms that learn from your past jobs. Short on time? We handle the heavy lifting. Your team gets a simple dashboard showing reorder alerts for solder and sealants, integrated straight into your scheduling software.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Plumbing Operations
Slash Stockout Disruptions by 70%
Slash Stockout Disruptions by 70%: Never send a tech back to base for missing O-rings or compression fittings again. Our AI anticipates demand from your call volume and historical leak repair data, ensuring trucks roll out fully equipped for residential jobs. Plumbers report finishing 25% more jobs per day—averaging 6 instead of 5—boosting revenue by $15,000 monthly without extra hires.
Optimize Cash Flow with Smarter Stock Levels
Optimize Cash Flow with Smarter Stock Levels: Reduce excess inventory in P-traps, shower valves, and faucets that sit idle for over 90 days. By forecasting with 88% precision—based on your actual sales data from pipe replacements and fixture installs—we free up capital for growth. One mid-sized plumbing firm cut holding costs by $28,000 yearly, reinvesting in three new service vans equipped for water line repairs.
Streamline Supplier Orders for Faster Turns
Streamline Supplier Orders for Faster Turns: Automated alerts sync with your vendors for just-in-time delivery of solder joints and flex lines, preventing overbuys during slow winter months. Tailored to plumbing specifics like copper price fluctuations and local building code changes, this keeps your pipeline flowing without interruptions. Teams save 15 hours weekly on manual checks—equivalent to one full shift—focusing on client relationships and upselling water softener installs instead.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd burn 2-3 hours daily hunting down PVC elbows and Schedule 40 pipes for urgent sewer line jobs. Now, the system flags exactly what we need based on last summer's high-volume installs in suburban neighborhoods. Cut our emergency supplier runs in half—from 10 to 5 per week—and my guys are happier getting home earlier, reducing overtime by 20%."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Riverside Plumbing Pros (Serving 5,000+ Residential Clients in Southern California)
"Integrated this with our job scheduling software, and it's like having an extra warehouse manager on call 24/7. Forecasted a shortage of expansion tank fittings two weeks out during the rainy flood season—saved us from delaying five water heater installs and losing $4,500 in revenue. ROI hit in the first quarter with a 40% drop in rush orders."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Apex Plumbing Services (Specializing in Emergency Residential Repairs in the Pacific Northwest)
"Tired of spreadsheets that never matched our on-site reality for tracking drain snake cables and flange kits. Their custom setup pulls from our service logs and predicts gasket needs spot-on, even factoring in holiday surge repairs. Reduced overstock by 35% on slow-moving ball valves, and we're not scrambling during peak calls for unclogged kitchen sinks anymore—client satisfaction scores up 15%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle unpredictable plumbing emergencies like sudden floods?
Our custom AI goes beyond basic sales data by integrating real-time inputs like weather APIs and your historical emergency call patterns. For instance, if heavy rains are forecast in your service area, it boosts predictions for drainage parts by 30-50% based on past events. We train the model on your specific job logs, ensuring it adapts to local quirks—such as higher clog calls in older neighborhoods. This isn't a rigid template; it's built to flex with your workflow, reducing guesswork and keeping your trucks ready. Clients see a 60% drop in last-minute scrambles within the first season.
What data do you need to build the forecasting system for my plumbing business?
We start with your existing records: service tickets, inventory spreadsheets, purchase orders, and supplier invoices. No need for perfect data—we clean and structure it during setup. For deeper accuracy, we pull in external factors like regional building permits or seasonal trends. It's a one-time upload process, secured end-to-end. Think of it like mapping your plumbing blueprints; we use what you have to create a system that predicts needs for everything from toilet flappers to main line repairs. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, and we handle 80% of the data prep.
Can this integrate with my current plumbing management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or QuickBooks. Your forecasting AI will pull live data from job schedules to anticipate part needs—say, extra PVC for a string of remodels—and push reorder suggestions directly into your system. No more manual exports. We've connected with over 50 home services platforms, ensuring seamless flow without disrupting your daily ops. It's like adding a smart valve to your existing pipes: efficient and reliable, with zero downtime during launch.
How accurate is the forecasting compared to what we do manually?
Manual methods in plumbing often hit 60-70% accuracy, leading to stockouts or waste. Our AI achieves 88-95% precision by analyzing patterns humans miss, like correlations between call types and part usage. For example, it might spot that fixture installs spike 25% after holidays based on your data. We benchmark against industry standards—plumbers using our systems report 65% less overstock. Accuracy improves over time as the model learns from new jobs, and we include confidence scores so you know when to double-check.
What's the cost and timeline for a custom inventory forecasting setup?
Pricing starts at $25,000 for a full custom build, scaled to your operation size—think fleet of 5 trucks versus 50. This covers discovery, model development, integration, and three months of support, far below the $50K+ in lost productivity from poor inventory. Timeline: 6-8 weeks from kickoff to live deployment, with phased rollouts to minimize disruption. It's a one-time investment for an owned asset, not recurring fees. ROI typically hits in 4-6 months through reduced waste—one client recouped costs by avoiding $18K in emergency buys.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the AI forecasting tool?
Yes, we provide optional maintenance packages at $1,500/month, including model updates with fresh data, performance monitoring, and tweaks for changes like new suppliers or service expansions. But the core system is yours to own and run independently if preferred— we train your team on simple dashboards for self-management. Unlike subscription traps, this ensures long-term reliability without lock-in. For plumbers, we've seen systems stay 90% accurate for years with quarterly check-ins, adapting to shifts like rising demand for eco-friendly parts.
