The "Billing Bottleneck" Problem
Manual invoicing after midnight lockouts for emergency residential access delays your next job, potentially missing out on 2-3 additional calls per shift
Forgetting to bill for after-hours surcharges erodes profit margins
Scrambling to track parts like high-security pin tumbler cylinders and duplicate keys used on-site leads to inventory discrepancies and lost revenue
Client disputes over rekeying fees due to handwritten notes
End-of-day paperwork for lock installations and rekeying pulls you from building client trust during critical post-service consultations
Inconsistent invoicing for residential deadbolt replacements versus commercial master key systems creates billing errors across job types

What Clients Say
""Before AIQ, we'd finish a late-night residential door lockout at 1:30 AM and still be handwriting the invoice for the after-hours fee at 3 AM. Now, the digital invoice with photos of the new deadbolt hits the client's phone before I pack up my tools. Saved us about 12 hours a week on average, and payments come in twice as fast—no more chasing down forgetful homeowners on weekends.""
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Lock & Key Services
""We handle a lot of commercial rekeys for office buildings, and tracking all those master key sets and pin kits manually was a total nightmare with constant shortages. Their custom setup auto-logs everything from the job site via our tablet app. Cut our billing disputes over cylinder charges by half in just two months, and our cash flow's steadier, letting us bid on more multi-unit residential projects.""
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, SecureLock Commercial & Residential Services
""As a small team of three, we couldn't afford mistakes on emergency fees for automotive ignitions or home safe combinations. This automation nails it every time, integrating with our QuickBooks and scheduling app seamlessly in a single setup session. Went from 20 hours of weekly paperwork on lock inventories to maybe 3, letting us take on bigger contracts like apartment complex rekeyings without the hassle or added staff.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable pricing for different lock types?
We customize the AI to your exact pricing structure, whether it's a standard deadbolt at $150 or a high-security smart lock at $400 plus install. The system pulls from your catalog, factors in job specifics like residential vs. commercial, and auto-applies surcharges. For instance, during discovery, we map your tiers—emergency, standard, rush—and the AI learns to tag them from job notes or photos. This eliminates guesswork, ensuring accuracy on 99% of invoices. Locksmiths we've worked with see a 25% uptick in captured fees they previously overlooked, all without manual overrides. It's built to adapt as your services evolve, like adding EV charger lock integrations.
Will this integrate with my existing scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way API connections to tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even custom van tablets. No superficial links that fail mid-job. For a locksmith, this means when you mark a lockout complete in your scheduler, the AI instantly pulls details—time, location, parts used—and generates the invoice. We've integrated with over 50 platforms, ensuring data flows securely without duplicates. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, and we handle the heavy lifting. One client synced their QuickBooks in under a day, cutting end-of-month reconciliation from 10 hours to 30 minutes. Your workflow stays intact; we just make it smarter.
What if I have a small team— is this overkill?
Not at all; it's designed for scalability starting small. Solo locksmiths or teams of 5 benefit just as much as larger ops, reclaiming hours from paperwork to hit more calls. We tailor it to your volume—say, 10-20 jobs weekly—focusing on high-impact automations like auto-texting invoices post-service. No bloat; everything's custom-built for your needs. Benchmarks show small service businesses gain 200-300% ROI in year one by reducing admin costs. We start with a lean MVP, then expand as you grow, like adding multi-tech tracking. It's ownership without the enterprise price tag.
How secure is the system for sensitive client data?
Security is paramount in locksmithing, where you're dealing with home access details. We use enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like SOC 2 and GDPR, storing data only as needed for invoicing. No cloud fluff—your info stays in fortified, custom servers with role-based access. For example, field techs see job basics, while you control financials. We've audited systems for trades handling keys and codes, preventing breaches that could cost thousands in liability. Regular updates and penetration testing ensure it's robust against threats. Clients report peace of mind, with zero incidents in our deployments.
Can I own the system outright, without ongoing fees?
Yes, that's our core promise: full ownership after build. Unlike subscription models that drain $500+ monthly, you get the source code, hosted on your choice of secure infrastructure. We charge a one-time development fee based on complexity—typically $15K-$30K for locksmith automation—plus optional maintenance if desired. This shifts you from rented tools to a valuable asset that appreciates with your business. Over three years, it pays for itself via time savings alone; one locksmith saved $40K in admin labor. We provide full handover docs and training, empowering your team to tweak as needed.
How long until I see results?
From consultation to live system, expect 4-8 weeks, depending on your current setup. We prioritize quick wins: In week one, we prototype invoice auto-generation from sample jobs. By deployment, you're saving hours immediately. Locksmith partners typically hit 50% time reduction in the first month, scaling to 80% by quarter two as the AI refines. Track progress with built-in metrics, like invoices processed per hour. It's not theoretical—our track record shows 90% of clients operational within 45 days, transforming billing from a bottleneck to a breeze.
