What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our five locksmith locations were a mess—technicians showing up without the right automotive transponder keys, and customers complaining about inconsistent quotes for deadbolt rekeying. After implementing their platform, we cut dispatch errors by half in just three months, and we've since added two more branches without missing a beat on emergency safe openings."

Mike Rivera

Operations Director, SecureLock Franchise Group (12 locations in the Midwest)

"Scaling our franchise meant dealing with nightmare inventory mismatches of pin kits and key blanks during busy holiday seasons for garage lock installs. Their custom system synced everything centrally, saving us $15,000 in rush orders last winter. Response times dropped from 2 hours to under 45 minutes for residential lockouts, and our Google review ratings jumped from 3.9 to 4.7."

Sarah Chen

Franchise Owner, KeyMasters Network (8 stores across Texas)

"We were losing commercial clients because billing was all over the place between stores for multi-tenant master key systems in office buildings. The AIQ platform automated it all, ensuring accurate invoicing with line items for restricted keyways. In the first year, our revenue per location grew 22%, and expansion to three new markets feels straightforward now without compliance headaches."

Tom Hargrove

CEO, LockPro Enterprises (15 branches nationwide)

Common Questions

How does this platform handle emergency locksmith calls across multiple locations?

Our AI-driven system uses geolocation and real-time availability to dispatch the closest technician instantly, much like a well-tuned security system that anticipates threats. For locksmith franchises, this means reducing average response times from hours to minutes, even during night shifts. We've integrated it with your existing CRM to pull client history, ensuring the dispatched pro arrives prepared with the right tools for rekeys or lockouts. In benchmarks from similar deployments, franchises see a 35% drop in missed SLAs, directly boosting repeat business and reviews. Scalability is baked in, so as you add locations, the system adapts without custom tweaks each time.

Can it manage inventory for specialized locksmith supplies like restricted keys?

Absolutely. The platform features AI-powered forecasting that analyzes job patterns—think seasonal spikes in car lockouts or commercial master key needs—to predict and automate reorders. No more stockouts halting urgent jobs. It centralizes tracking across franchises, alerting managers if a branch is low on high-security blanks. Clients report 40% less waste and faster turnaround on orders, integrating directly with suppliers via API. For scalability, it handles growth from 5 to 50 locations seamlessly, preventing the bottlenecks that plague manual systems and ensuring your ops remain efficient as you expand.

What about ensuring consistent service quality in new franchise openings?

Consistency is core to our design. We standardize protocols through automated checklists for every job type, from residential deadbolts to safe installations, accessible via mobile for all techs. AI monitors compliance, flagging deviations like improper documentation. This unified approach has helped franchises maintain 4.5+ star ratings during expansions. Unlike generic tools, it's tailored to locksmith challenges, with training modules embedded for quick onboarding. As your network grows, the platform scales these standards enterprise-wide, eliminating the quality dips that often hit 60% of expanding home services businesses.

How does it integrate with our existing accounting and CRM software?

We build deep, two-way integrations that create a single operational hub, pulling data from your CRM for client details and pushing job completions to accounting for instant invoicing. For locksmiths, this means seamless tracking of service fees for everything from transponder programming to eviction lock changes. No more manual entry errors that delay payments by weeks. Our custom code ensures reliability, unlike brittle no-code links that fail under load. Post-launch, we optimize based on your usage, supporting scalable growth—franchises using it close books 50% faster, freeing up time for client-focused expansion.

Is the platform secure for handling sensitive client data like home addresses?

Security is paramount in locksmith services, where trust is everything. We employ enterprise-grade encryption and role-based access, ensuring only authorized personnel see details like gate codes or alarm integrations. Compliant with standards like GDPR and local privacy laws, it includes audit trails for every access. AI anomaly detection flags unusual patterns, like repeated lookups on a single property. For franchises, this means protected data as you scale, with zero breaches in our deployments. We've fortified it against home services-specific risks, giving you peace of mind while maintaining the client relationships that drive 70% of repeat revenue.

How much does customization cost for a growing locksmith franchise?

Costs are tailored to your scale, starting from a one-time build fee that replaces ongoing subscriptions—think $50K-$150K for a full platform, depending on locations and features like AI voice agents for call handling. This delivers ownership and unlimited scalability, unlike monthly fees that balloon with growth. ROI hits fast: clients recoup via 25-40% efficiency gains in dispatching and billing. We include post-launch support to adapt as you add branches, ensuring no hidden costs. For mid-sized locksmith networks, it's an investment that supports 2-3x revenue growth without proportional overhead.
