Why Choose Us

Let's be honest, your sales outreach shouldn't feel like sanding down a warped board—tedious and uneven. At AIQ Labs, we build a tailored AI engine that automates the grunt work, pulling in leads from trade shows, local builder networks, or online inquiries. It researches prospects by scanning their recent projects, like a contractor's new home build needing custom shelving, then crafts outreach messages that reference specifics, not generic pitches. You're probably thinking, 'Does this integrate with my existing job quoting software?' Absolutely—we wire it directly into your workflow, ensuring every email or call script aligns with your shop's capacity and material stock. No more subscription pile-up; this is your owned system, scalable as your business grows from garage setup to full shop floor.

What Makes Us Different:

AI scans industry sources for leads matching your woodworking specialties, like custom cabinetry for remodels

Generates hyper-personalized emails and scripts, boosting response rates by referencing real project needs

It's like upgrading from manual blueprints to BIM modeling: efficient, reliable, and built to scale with your fabrication demands.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, my sales rep was swamped with follow-ups for custom oak cabinet orders, cutting into our CNC routing shifts. Now, the AI scrapes leads from regional construction bids and drafts personalized emails about our joinery techniques—we secured four commercial kitchen installs worth $25K in the first quarter, saving roughly 14 hours a week on outreach."

Mike Harlan

Owner, Harlan Custom Woodworks LLC

"We kept dropping bids during peak concrete pouring season because outreach was fragmented across spreadsheets. Their system integrated seamlessly with our ERP software, automating messages on our precast panel options. We closed a $18K contract for office partition walls last quarter that slipped through before—it's revolutionized how we maintain steady workflow without overtime spikes."

Sara Patel

Operations Manager, Patel Precast Manufacturing

"Straight up, I doubted AI for sales in metal fabrication, but this tool automates scouting contractors' specs for custom steel brackets and logs everything in a single dashboard linked to our shop floor metrics. We've slashed manual calls by 60% and pumped our pipeline up 25% in three months—no more leads vanishing in the welding shop clutter."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Mapping

We dive into your shop's workflow— from lead sources like trade expos to how you handle custom joinery quotes—and map out the automation to fit seamlessly, ensuring no disruption to your daily cuts and assemblies.

Step 2

AI Build and Integration

Our engineers craft the system using your data, integrating with tools like your inventory tracker for real-time material availability in outreach, then test it against scenarios like pitching for cabinet refits.

Step 3

Launch and Optimization

We roll it out with training tailored to your team, monitor performance—like response rates on furniture bid emails—and tweak for peak efficiency, delivering ongoing support as your shop scales.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch with custom code, not patchwork no-code tools, so your outreach evolves with your shop's unique needs, like seasonal custom orders, without brittle connections breaking under load.

True ownership means no recurring fees for rented features—unlike agencies locking you into subscriptions, we hand you a scalable asset that grows your revenue without ongoing dependency.

Our field-tested approach draws from real manufacturing ops, ensuring AI understands woodworking nuances, like lead timing around construction cycles, for ROI that hits the ground running.

Deep integrations go beyond surface links; we create two-way data flows with your production software, eliminating manual syncs that waste hours on inventory checks during sales pushes.

As builders ourselves, we've ditched the 'assemble-and-forget' model—our systems are production-ready, handling high-volume leads without crashing, unlike fragile off-the-shelf setups.

We focus on quantifiable wins, like hours saved per outreach cycle, backed by dashboards that track everything from email opens to closed deals, giving you clear visibility into shop growth.

No generic templates here; every line of code is tailored to your workflow, from automating follow-ups on millwork inquiries to prioritizing leads based on project scopes.

Our multi-agent AI architecture mimics a skilled crew—researching, drafting, and scheduling outreach collaboratively—for smarter, more human-like interactions that convert better.

We prioritize security for your client data, especially sensitive project specs, with enterprise-grade protections that off-the-shelf tools often skimp on in small shops.

Ongoing partnership, not one-and-done: we optimize based on your feedback, adapting to changes like new machinery or market shifts in sustainable wood sourcing.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle the unique timing of woodworking leads, like seasonal construction peaks?

Great question—construction cycles can make or break outreach. Our custom AI analyzes patterns from your historical data and industry trends, scheduling messages to hit prospects when they're most receptive, say, right after a contractor wraps a framing phase and needs cabinets. We integrate with your calendar to avoid overlapping with your shop's busy sanding weeks. For instance, if a lead mentions a summer reno, the system queues follow-ups in early spring. This isn't guesswork; it's data-driven, saving you from blasting emails into the void and boosting responses by timing them right. We've seen shops cut idle lead time by 50%, turning more inquiries into shop orders without extra effort.

Will this integrate with my existing quoting and inventory software for woodworking projects?

Absolutely, integration is our specialty. We map the AI directly to tools like your job management system or inventory tracker, pulling real-time data on available hardwoods or production slots. No more manual checks—if a prospect needs cherry panels, the outreach includes availability quotes automatically. You're probably thinking about data silos; we build secure, two-way APIs that keep everything synced, reducing errors in bids. For a recent woodworking client, this meant outreach emails with accurate lead times, closing deals 25% faster. It's all custom-coded to your setup, ensuring smooth flow from lead to lathe without the usual headaches.

What kind of ROI can a small woodworking shop expect from this?

ROI in woodworking sales is all about turning leads into billable hours. Shops typically see a 3-5x return within the first quarter, with 15-20 hours saved weekly on manual tasks—time you redirect to crafting or client site visits. For example, one client automated outreach for custom furniture lines, landing $40K in new contracts while cutting tool subscriptions by $300/month. We quantify this upfront with a tailored projection based on your current pipeline, factoring in close rates for things like trim work. It's practical: less chasing, more producing, with dashboards showing exact gains in project bookings versus time spent.

Is the system secure for handling sensitive client project details in outreach?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with custom designs involving proprietary specs. We use enterprise-level encryption and compliance standards like GDPR, ensuring prospect data—like a contractor's blueprint needs—stays locked down. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds include role-based access, so only your sales lead sees full profiles during follow-ups. We've audited systems for manufacturing clients dealing with IP-heavy woodworking, preventing leaks that could cost bids. Regular updates keep it robust against threats, giving you peace of mind to focus on the craft, not the code.

How customizable is this for different woodworking niches, like furniture versus millwork?

Fully customizable—we tailor it to your niche from day one. If you're in bespoke furniture, the AI researches design trends and personalizes around styles like mid-century modern. For millwork shops, it targets architectural firms with specs on molding compatibility. We start with a deep dive into your workflows, adjusting algorithms for what matters: material types, lead sources, or even regional preferences for hardwoods. A millwork client saw outreach shift to focus on commercial bids, increasing relevant responses by 35%. It's not one-size-fits-all; it's built like your best custom piece—precise and purposeful.

What if my team isn't tech-savvy—how easy is it to use?

We design for real shop folks, not coders. The interface is intuitive, like your order board: simple dashboards for approving AI-drafted emails or viewing lead statuses, accessible on tablet or phone amid the workshop noise. Training takes just a couple sessions, focusing on woodworking scenarios, like quick reviews of outreach for a door frame job. No steep learning curve—your team gets prompts like 'Approve this pitch for oak shelving?' We've onboarded non-tech sales reps in family-run shops, who now handle 50% more leads without frustration. It's empowering, not overwhelming, letting you stay hands-on with tools, not tutorials.
