The "Lead Overload" Problem

Wasting time chasing hobbyist DIYers instead of serious general contractors seeking bulk lumber orders

Inaccurate lead scoring from generic tools that overlook preferences for hardwoods like oak or maple in custom cabinetry

Manual lead vetting pulling supervisors from CNC machine oversight and disrupting production runs on millwork components

Missing repeat business from builders requiring bespoke trim and molding for ongoing commercial projects

Squandering ad budgets on leads uninterested in precision CNC routing for intricate joinery or paneling

Overburdened sales teams handling unqualified RFQs during peak framing and finishing seasons

Custom-Built Lead Scoring That Fits Your Woodworking World

We've engineered solutions for over 50 manufacturing shops, turning chaotic lead flows into precise, ROI-driven pipelines.

Why Choose Us

Let's be honest, off-the-shelf lead scoring tools treat your woodworking shop like just another retailer. They overlook the nuances of custom orders, like a contractor's history with oak vs. maple or their urgency for furniture restoration projects. We build yours from scratch, using your exact data from job quotes, inventory logs, and customer interactions. It's flexible, scalable, and integrated directly into your daily operations—no more fighting clunky templates.

What Makes Us Different:

Tailored algorithms that learn from your past sales of custom doors and trim

Real-time scoring updated as leads browse your portfolio or request samples

Seamless handoff to your team with prioritized alerts via your shop's dashboard

Why This Delivers Real Results for Your Shop

Higher Close Rates on Qualified Leads

Higher Close Rates on Qualified Leads: Imagine focusing on that commercial builder ready for 500 linear feet of custom oak baseboards—our system scores based on interactions with your CAD files for door jambs and crown molding, delivering 42% higher conversions and slashing no-shows for on-site measurements by half in the first quarter.

Streamlined Sales Without the Guesswork

Streamlined Sales Without the Guesswork: Wondering how to spot leads worth inviting for a shop tour of your dust collection setup?

Woodshops report 30% less time chasing dead-end inquiries, so you can get back to optimizing router bits and assembly lines.

Optimized Resource Allocation for Peak Efficiency

Optimized Resource Allocation for Peak Efficiency: Stop yanking your lead finishers off staining runs for tire-kickers.

What Clients Say

""Before AIQ Labs, our Google Ads flooded us with leads from weekend warriors asking about free plans for birdhouses. Their tailored scoring now prioritizes GCs eyeing our CNC-cut balustrals for mid-rise builds. Over the past six months, we've nailed four major contracts we'd have overlooked, boosting revenue by $52K without onboarding more estimators.""

Mike Harlan

Owner, Harlan Precision Woodworks (Specializing in architectural millwork for commercial sites)

""Our cabinet shop thrives on razor-thin timelines for high-end remodels, but off-the-shelf tools mixed up serious flippers with casual surfers. AIQ customized a scorer using our ERP data on past bids for shaker-style doors and drawer fronts—it's halved our pursuit time. Just last quarter, it spotlighted a premium lead that turned into a $28K order for a full vanity suite.""

Sarah Kline

Operations Manager, Kline Custom Cabinetry (Focused on bespoke kitchen installations for residential contractors)

""We craft from reclaimed barn wood, but leads scattered from tiny accents to mismatched bulk needs. This system scores on our stock of FSC-certified timbers and buyer patterns, like queries on live-edge slabs for eco-lodges. It's proven itself—our order backlog jumped 35% in three months, and we're finally directing kilns toward real revenue, not rejects.""

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Data Mapping

We dive into your shop's lead sources, from trade show inquiries to website forms, mapping how they tie into your production quotes and customer profiles. This ensures the system understands your unique flow, like scoring higher for leads specifying hardwood finishes.

Step 2

Model Building and Customization

Our engineers craft predictive algorithms trained on your historical data—think past orders for table legs or paneling. We test it against real scenarios, tweaking for accuracy in your woodworking niche, so it predicts conversions like a seasoned foreman spots quality grain.

Step 3

Integration and Launch

We wire it into your existing tools, like QuickBooks for order tracking or your CRM for follow-ups. Launch with training for your team, then monitor performance, refining as your shop evolves—just like fine-tuning a lathe for perfect turns.

Why We're Different

We build from the ground up, not bolt on generic plugins, ensuring your lead scorer handles the specifics of woodworking bids without brittle integrations that break during inventory updates.

True ownership means no subscription traps—your system is yours, scalable as your shop grows from custom pieces to full production runs, unlike agencies chaining you to rented tools.

Our field-tested approach draws from real manufacturing pain points, like seasonal demand spikes, delivering ROI you can measure in closed deals, not vague promises.

Deep API connections create a unified workflow, eliminating the data silos that plague shops juggling separate apps for leads and shop floor management.

We prioritize production-ready code over quick hacks, so your scorer runs reliably even during high-volume order seasons, reducing downtime like a well-oiled planer.

Customization isn't an add-on; it's core—we tailor to your exact needs, from scoring leads on sustainability prefs to integration with CAD software for precise project matching.

No black-box models here; we explain how scoring works, empowering your team to trust and tweak it, much like calibrating tools for consistent joinery.

Proven in similar industries, our solutions cut through subscription chaos, replacing fragmented tools with one owned asset that grows with your business.

Focus on practical outcomes: we measure success by your close rates and time saved, not buzzwords, ensuring every feature drives tangible shop efficiency.

Collaborative process from day one—we're partners, not vendors, iterating based on your feedback to fit your workflow like a custom-fitted workbench.

Common Questions

How does custom lead scoring differ from standard CRM tools for my woodworking shop?

Standard CRM tools use blanket algorithms that don't grasp the intricacies of your industry, like distinguishing a lead needing quick-turn prototypes from one planning a full remodel. We build yours specifically for woodworking—training on your data for things like interest in CNC precision or exotic woods. This means higher accuracy, with shops seeing 35% better prioritization. It's integrated seamlessly, so scores feed directly into your production queue without manual input. Let's be honest, it's like having a tool custom-sharpened for your lathe versus a dull generic blade—night and day for efficiency.

What data do you need to build the lead scoring system?

We start with your existing records: past quotes, order histories, customer interactions from emails or calls, and even website analytics on viewed projects like cabinet designs. For woodworking specifics, we'll look at details like material preferences or project timelines. No need for perfect data; we clean and structure it. You're probably thinking it'll take forever, but our process maps it in days, ensuring the model learns from real scenarios, like repeat orders for trim work. This creates a system that's truly yours, predicting which leads will convert to paying gigs.

How long does it take to see results from the custom lead scoring?

Most woodworking shops notice improvements within 2-4 weeks after launch. We train the model on your data quickly, then monitor and refine based on live leads. For example, one client saw their sales team focusing on qualified contractor inquiries right away, boosting closes by 25% in the first month. It's not instant magic, but field-tested tweaks ensure it adapts fast to your workflow, like scoring higher for leads matching your staining expertise. Ongoing support keeps it sharp, delivering steady ROI without the usual setup headaches.

Can this integrate with my current shop software, like for inventory or quoting?

Absolutely— we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like your ERP for inventory levels or quoting software for project bids. Imagine a lead inquiring about walnut panels; our scorer pulls stock data to boost their rating if it aligns. No superficial links that break—we build robust connections so scores influence everything from scheduling to material prep. Shops report seamless operation, cutting errors by 40%. It's custom to your setup, ensuring no disruptions to your daily cut lists or assembly runs.

What if my lead volume fluctuates with seasons in woodworking?

Our system is designed for that variability—think summer slowdowns versus holiday rushes for custom pieces. We incorporate seasonal patterns into the model, adjusting scores dynamically, like prioritizing urgent restoration leads in off-peak times. Flexible rules let you tweak for events like trade fairs. Clients handle spikes without overload, maintaining efficiency. Here's the thing: it's built to scale with your business, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring you capitalize on peak demand without wasting effort on low-intent inquiries.

Is the lead scoring system secure for sensitive client designs?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with proprietary woodworking plans or client specs. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR, hosting on secure servers with access controls. Your data stays yours—no sharing. For woodworking shops, this means protected CAD files or custom blueprints used in scoring remain confidential. We've audited systems for similar manufacturers, ensuring zero breaches. It's like a locked shop safe for your designs—peace of mind while the AI focuses on surfacing the best leads.
