Tailored AI Forecasting Built for Your Dojo's Rhythm
We've powered inventory systems for over 50 wellness centers, including martial arts schools that juggle gear for all ages and skill levels.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf software treats your dojo like just another store—it misses the pulse of member sign-ups, belt progression cycles, and those unpredictable trial class waves. You're probably thinking, 'My inventory needs flex with our class schedules, not some rigid template.' That's why we build a custom AI system from the ground up, tuned to your exact workflow. It pulls from your member database, past sales, and even local event calendars to forecast demand for everything from white belts to advanced mouthguards. No more guesswork. Just smart, adaptive predictions that keep your shelves ready and your retention high.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Smarter Stocking That Boosts Your Dojo's Flow
Cut Waste and Reclaim Cash
Picture this: instead of $2,000 in unsold sparring gear gathering dust after a slow season, our AI nails forecasts down to the unit by analyzing class attendance trends, saving schools like yours up to 25% on inventory costs annually within the first year. That extra budget? Use it for member events like team-building workshops that drive retention and boost dojo community.
Boost Member Satisfaction Instantly
No more disappointed newbies turning away because beginner gi sizes are out of stock during peak enrollment periods. Our system anticipates demand from trial inquiries and social media sign-ups, ensuring gear's ready—leading to 15% higher retention as members feel the dojo's always prepared for their martial arts journey, with seamless onboarding in under 24 hours.
Scale Effortlessly with Growth
As your school expands to more branches or advanced programs like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu belts, the AI evolves too, handling complex variables like seasonal seminars and injury recovery class fluctuations. This prevents stockouts that could stall your momentum, keeping operations smooth for long-term success and supporting 20-30% annual growth without inventory headaches.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we'd overbuy gis every fall for back-to-school enrollments and end up with a storage room full of size 3 extras. Now, it factors in our kids' class growth rates and seasonal drop-offs, and we've cut excess inventory by half in just six months—no more cash tied up, and our members love the quick gear fittings on signup day that get them training right away."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Dragon Fist Martial Arts
"Tournaments used to blindside us with glove shortages during regional events, turning excited students away from prepping sessions. After implementing their custom forecast last year, we predicted a 40% demand jump for the spring championship and had all sizes ready two weeks early. It's saved us hours of panic ordering and kept our retention steady at 85% even through peak competition season."
Sarah Kim
Operations Manager, Apex Dojo Academy
"Manual tracking was a nightmare with our adult bootcamps fluctuating based on weekly themes. The AI looks at past attendance, member feedback surveys, and even weather patterns for outdoor Muay Thai sessions—result? We reduced overstock from 20% to under 5% in three months, freeing up funds for better instructor certification training that elevated our program's quality."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle unpredictable trial class surges in martial arts schools?
Here's the thing: trial classes can double your gear needs overnight, especially for beginners. Our custom AI analyzes patterns from your signup forms, past promotions, and even local event calendars to predict these spikes. For instance, if back-to-school season brings a 30% uptick, it flags extra uniforms ahead of time. We train the model on your specific data, so it's not guessing—it's learning your dojo's flow. Schools see 20-25% better preparedness, meaning fewer walkaways and smoother onboarding. Plus, it's flexible; if a viral social post boosts trials unexpectedly, you can input that for instant recalibration.
What if my school has multiple locations with varying inventory needs?
Multi-location dojos face unique challenges, like one branch heavy on kids' programs and another on adult MMA. We design the forecasting system to segment data by site, pulling from each location's member trends and sales history. Imagine Branch A needing more junior belts during school holidays, while Branch B stocks up on heavy bags for evening classes. The AI creates location-specific forecasts, with a central dashboard for oversight. This prevents overbuying across the board and optimizes shared supplier orders. One client with three sites reduced inter-location transfers by 40%, saving time and shipping costs while keeping every dojo ready for peak times.
Can this integrate with my existing class scheduling software?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty. If you're using something like Mindbody or Zen Planner for schedules, we build two-way connections to sync class enrollments directly into the forecast. No more manual uploads that lead to errors. For example, when a new self-defense workshop fills up, the AI instantly adjusts pad and glove projections. It's all custom-coded for reliability, avoiding the brittle links in off-the-shelf tools. We've done this for dozens of fitness ops, cutting data entry time by hours weekly and ensuring forecasts reflect real member commitment levels for better retention planning.
How accurate are the forecasts, and what if they're off?
Accuracy starts at 85-90% out of the gate, based on your historical data, and improves to 95%+ as the AI learns from ongoing inputs—like actual vs. predicted usage during belt ceremonies. We use advanced models that factor in retention rates, which are crucial in martial arts where drop-offs affect gear turnover. If a forecast misses, say due to an unexpected flu season slowing classes, our system includes variance alerts and easy manual overrides. Post-launch, we review discrepancies monthly and refine the algorithm. Clients report stockouts dropping from monthly to rare, with overstock waste cut in half—real peace of mind for busy owners.
What's the timeline to get this up and running for my dojo?
You're probably thinking speed matters, especially with seasons approaching. We kick off with a quick discovery call, then build and integrate in 4-6 weeks for most schools—faster if your data's organized. Week 1: Map your workflow. Weeks 2-3: Develop the AI model with your gear catalog. Week 4: Test integrations and train your team. By launch, you'll have a live dashboard predicting next month's needs. It's not rushed; we prioritize quality to avoid costly fixes later. One school went live in 5 weeks and saw immediate savings on holiday uniform buys, proving it's worth the focused sprint.
Do I need technical expertise to use the forecasting system?
Not at all—we design it for dojo owners and admins, not coders. Think of it like your class app: intuitive dashboard with visuals showing 'Buy 50 white belts by next Friday' based on enrollments. You get simple inputs for updates, like noting a upcoming seminar, and it handles the math. We provide a 2-hour training session and ongoing support via chat or call. No steep learning curve; even non-tech-savvy instructors access stock reports on their phones. The goal? Free you to focus on teaching kicks, not crunching numbers, while the AI does the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
