The "Inventory Mismatch" Problem
Unexpected hailstorms cause excess asphalt shingles to degrade in the warehouse due to UV exposure and moisture
Emergency procurement of synthetic roof underlayment and galvanized nails during hurricane season inflates costs by 40%
Fluctuating demand for ridge vents and soffit materials during summer re-roofing surges leads to delays in residential installations
Stockouts of ice and water shield underlayment frustrate clients with incomplete shingle installations on sloped roofs
Overstocked aluminum flashing and ridge cap supplies tie up capital during off-season lulls in gutter and fascia repairs
Bids miscalculated due to outdated data on asphalt shingle versus standing seam metal roofing material trends

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we overbought 500 bundles of architectural shingles every spring, only for them to warp in storage during dry spells. Their forecasting slashed our excess by 50% in Q1 2023—we saved $8,200 on warehousing and secured a 10,000 sq ft commercial re-roof without a single delay."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Summit Roofing Co., serving Midwest suburbs
"Last year's severe hail season left us short on 200 rolls of roof tarps, scrambling suppliers at premium rates. With their custom AI, we forecasted a 40% spike in underlayment needs two weeks early and stocked up—finishing 15 residential repairs 15% faster in April, with crew overtime down 25%."
Sarah Kline
Owner, Apex Roof Repairs, specializing in storm damage restoration
"Our small crew was buried in unused copper flashing from off-season buys, crippling cash for payroll. Integrating their AI with our QuickBooks tracked five years of leak repair data, cutting orders by 30% while handling a 20% job increase—no stockouts, and we expanded to two new counties last fall."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle unpredictable weather in roofing?
Weather is the heartbeat of roofing, so our custom AI pulls from hyper-local forecasts and historical storm data specific to your region. For instance, if you're in tornado alley, it factors in hail frequency to predict spikes in repair materials. We've tuned models for roofers to achieve 95% accuracy, analyzing patterns like last summer's unexpected downpours that doubled tarp needs. It's not guesswork—it's your past jobs plus real-time inputs, ensuring you stock just right without excess during dry spells. Setup takes your input on key variables, making it a perfect fit for your operations.
What data do you need from my roofing business to build this?
We start simple: your past 12-24 months of job logs, including material usage per project type—like shingles for residential re-roofs or metal for commercial. Add supplier invoices and crew schedules for a full picture. No need for fancy exports; we integrate directly with tools like Jobber or Housecall Pro. For a mid-sized roofer, this means pulling data on 200+ jobs to train the model, spotting trends like higher underlayment needs in humid areas. It's secure, compliant, and we handle the heavy lifting so you focus on the roof.
Can this system scale as my roofing company grows?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for growth, from solo operators to teams handling 500 jobs a year. As you add crews or enter new markets, the AI adapts by incorporating fresh data, like expanding from asphalt to solar-integrated roofs. Roofers we've worked with scaled from 10 to 25 employees without retooling; the system auto-adjusts forecasts for increased volume. It's built on robust frameworks, not fragile no-code, ensuring it handles bigger datasets and complex variables like multi-location inventory without slowing down.
How much time does implementation take for roofers?
Typically 4-6 weeks from kickoff to live forecasts, depending on your data readiness. Week one is discovery, mapping your workflow—like how storms affect your shingle orders. By week three, we deliver a working prototype tested on sample data. Final integration and training wrap it up, with your team viewing predictions via a simple dashboard. For a busy roofer, this means minimal disruption—we work off-hours if needed. Post-launch, it's hands-off, saving you hours weekly on manual stock checks.
Is the forecasting accurate for small roofing teams with inconsistent jobs?
Yes, even with variable job flows, our AI excels by blending your data with industry benchmarks for small operators. If your mix is 60% repairs and 40% installs, it learns those patterns, predicting needs like extra flashing for leak fixes. We've helped teams with just 50 annual jobs reduce stockouts by 40%, using techniques like ensemble modeling for sparse data. Accuracy hits 90%+ quickly, improving as you feed in more details—think of it as a smart apprentice that gets sharper with every roof you complete.
What if I already use inventory software—can you integrate with it?
Seamless integration is our specialty. Whether it's ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, or even basic spreadsheets, we build two-way APIs to sync data effortlessly. For roofers, this means your AI forecasts update stock levels in real-time, triggering alerts if shingle quantities dip below safe thresholds during peak season. No data silos or manual uploads— we've connected to over 20 home services platforms, ensuring your custom system enhances what you have, not replaces it. It's like adding a predictive brain to your existing setup.
