What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose a full day on jobs waiting for emergency plywood deliveries—costing us $2,500 last season alone during a string of bathroom vanities. Now, their forecasting nails our needs for custom shelving projects every time, even with last-minute client tweaks. It's like having an extra foreman watching the stockroom 24/7."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Custom Carpentry & Millwork, Serving Greater Seattle Area
"I was drowning in leftover hardwood from overestimating deck builds last summer. After implementing their custom AI, we cut waste by half in just three months on projects involving cedar railings, and our profit margins jumped 18% thanks to better plywood allocation. Finally, tech that gets the unpredictability of client changes in outdoor renovations."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Fine Woodworks & Decking Specialists, Denver Metro
"Forecasting for seasonal garage conversions was always a shot in the dark, especially with fluctuating epoxy floor kit demands. AIQ's system integrated with our bidding software and predicted a 20% demand spike we would've missed—kept us ahead of competitors without extra storage headaches for insulation and drywall during the fall rush."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting handle the variability of custom carpentry jobs?
Custom jobs throw curveballs—like a client switching from pine to cedar mid-project. Our AI learns from your past bids and completions, using machine learning to predict adjustments with 90% reliability. We start by analyzing 12-24 months of your data, then build models that factor in job size, location, and even local building code changes. This isn't guesswork; it's tailored precision that adapts as your workflow evolves, ensuring you stock just enough without excess. Carpenters we've worked with report 25% fewer emergency orders after the first quarter.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf inventory apps for home services?
Generic apps apply broad rules that ignore carpentry specifics, like the surge in plywood for hurricane-season repairs. We custom-build for you: integrating your exact tools, from QuickBooks to job site trackers, to create forecasts unique to your operation. No subscriptions or limitations—it's a owned system scalable to your crew size. Our clients avoid the 20-30% error rates common in templates, achieving benchmarks like under 5% stockout incidents. Plus, we include hands-on setup to match your daily rhythm, from shop inventory to field needs.
How long does it take to see results from the AI forecasting implementation?
Most carpenters notice improvements within 4-6 weeks. We kick off with a rapid audit of your current stock and jobs, then deploy a prototype model for testing on your next few projects. Full integration follows, with live forecasts feeding your orders. By month three, expect measurable wins: like a 35% drop in overstock for finishes, based on our track record. It's iterative—we refine based on your feedback, ensuring it fits seamlessly without disrupting your build schedules. No long waits; just steady gains in efficiency.
Can this system integrate with my existing carpentry management software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way connections to tools like Buildertrend or Housecall Pro, pulling job data to inform forecasts and pushing stock updates back automatically. For a recent client, this meant syncing bid details to predict nail quantities for framing, eliminating manual entries. Our engineers handle the heavy lifting, ensuring compatibility without downtime. If you're using spreadsheets or custom setups, we build bridges there too. The result? A single view of inventory tied to your workflow, reducing errors by up to 50% and keeping your operations fluid.
What if my business grows—will the forecasting scale with more jobs or crew members?
Growth shouldn't mean inventory headaches. Our systems are designed to scale seamlessly, handling everything from your current 20 jobs a month to 50 as you expand. We use advanced frameworks that process larger datasets without performance dips, incorporating new variables like additional suppliers or crew tool kits. One carpenter we partnered with doubled their remodel volume; the AI adjusted forecasts in real-time, maintaining 95% accuracy and cutting waste despite the ramp-up. It's flexible—built to grow with you, not force you into upgrades.
How secure is the data in your custom AI inventory system?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where supplier pricing and job details are sensitive. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like SOC 2, storing your data in fortified cloud environments. Access is role-based—only your team sees shop stock levels, while we audit for breaches. For carpenters, this means peace of mind when forecasting high-value items like exotic hardwoods. Our track record? Zero data incidents across 250+ deployments. We also offer on-premise options if preferred, ensuring your inventory intel stays yours alone.
