Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf tools treat every salon like a cookie-cutter gym. Not us. At AIQ Labs, we build your inventory forecasting system from the ground up, weaving in your unique data—like peak tanning hours, member promo redemptions, and even weather-linked glow demands. You're probably thinking, 'How does that fit my workflow?' Simple: we start with your current setup, no rip-and-replace. Our AI digs into sales patterns, predicts those unexpected bronzer rushes from social media trends, and alerts you before stock dips. It's flexible, scalable, and yours to own—not some rented template. Here's the thing: this isn't just software; it's a custom ally that keeps your members happy and your operations smooth, like a personal trainer spotting your every lift.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd overbuy broad-spectrum tanning lotions every summer and end up tossing half by fall due to expiration. Now, their system predicted our August rush perfectly based on our UV bed utilization data—we saved $2,800 last year, kept every spray tan booth running without a hitch, and clients raved about the seamless service, leading to 18% more repeat bookings."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Glow Haven Tanning & Wellness Studio
"I was skeptical about custom AI forecasting, but after implementation, our inventory turnover for essential post-tan products improved by 25% in just three months. No more guessing on restocks for promo days with bundle deals on accelerators; it's integrated with our booking app and sends alerts right to my phone for quick adjustments during peak fitness class crossovers. Honestly, it's transformed how we handle busy seasons."
Mike Rivera
General Manager, SunSphere Tanning Salons & Spa
"Dealing with expired self-tanning mists was killing our margins—up to $1,200 wasted quarterly from overstock after slow winter months. AIQ built a forecaster that factors in our member loyalty data from yoga and recovery packages, and we've cut waste to almost nothing in under six months. Plus, our team spends less time counting stock and more on upselling add-ons like electrolyte replenishers during client sessions."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle tanning's seasonal fluctuations?
Great question—tanning isn't steady like a gym membership. Our custom AI pulls in your historical data, like last summer's 40% client surge, and layers on external factors such as local weather forecasts or holiday promos. We build models that predict, say, a 25% uptick in accelerator lotion during beach season, adjusting automatically. Unlike generic tools, this is tuned to your salon's patterns, ensuring you stock just enough without excess. Over six months, clients see accuracy hit 92%, meaning fewer rush orders and happier members who don't face delays.
What if my salon uses a specific POS system?
No worries—we specialize in seamless integrations for wellness setups. Whether you're on Mindbody, Vagaro, or something custom, our team maps a two-way sync to pull real-time sales and inventory data. For instance, if a popular bronzer sells out mid-day, the forecast updates instantly, flagging reorders. This eliminates manual entry errors that plague 70% of salons. Setup takes about two weeks, with testing to match your workflow perfectly. It's all about making your life easier, so you focus on client glows, not data wrangling.
Can this system help with member retention indirectly?
Absolutely, and it's a game-changer for retention-driven businesses like yours. Low stock frustrates clients—think canceling a session because beds lack oil, leading to 15% drop-off rates. Our forecasting ensures products are always available, tying into loyalty programs by predicting demand for bundled offers. One salon saw repeat visits rise 18% after implementation, as members felt the reliability. We even incorporate retention data, like frequent visitor patterns, to fine-tune stocks for high-value clients. It's not just inventory; it's a tool for building lasting relationships.
How much customization is involved, and what's the timeline?
We make it as custom as your signature tanning package. Starting with a deep dive into your operations—product SKUs, supplier quirks, peak hours—we design AI models specific to your needs. No one-size-fits-all here; if your salon pushes eco-friendly lotions, we prioritize those forecasts. Timeline? Discovery in week one, build and test in weeks two to four, launch by month two. Post-launch, we monitor and tweak for 90 days. Costs align with complexity, but expect ROI in under six months through waste cuts and smoother ops. Let's chat to tailor it exactly.
Is the system secure for sensitive client-linked inventory data?
Security is non-negotiable in wellness, where member privacy reigns. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and HIPAA-lite for salons handling basic client info. Data stays on your secure servers, with access controls for your team only. For example, forecasts anonymize member trends—no personal details exposed. We've audited systems for 50+ clients without a breach. If you're integrating with booking apps, we add multi-factor auth. Peace of mind means you can trust it like your client confidentiality policies.
What happens if my product lineup changes frequently?
Tanning trends evolve fast—new mists or LED add-ons pop up. Our system is built flexible: when you introduce a product, we retrain the AI with minimal downtime, using initial sales data to predict demand. Say you launch a holiday glow kit; it factors in promo schedules and past similar items for quick accuracy. Clients report 80% faster adaptation than rigid tools. We include a simple interface for your team to input changes, ensuring forecasts stay spot-on without constant rebuilds. It's designed to grow with your salon's innovations.
