What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's system, we'd panic-order 200 units of our top-selling coconut tanning lotion every summer rush, wasting about $2,000 on extras that expired by fall. Now, it pulls from our Mindbody booking app and nails predictions—we had zero stockouts last season, and our members rave about the consistent availability of their go-to scents."

Sarah Jenkins

Owner, Bronze Haven Tanning Salon

"I was skeptical at first, but after a quick two-week setup, the forecasting caught a 15% dip in spray tan demand during our January slow month, saving us from overbuying 50 units of shimmer enhancers. It's integrated right into our Vagaro member portal, making reorders a breeze and keeping our retention steady at 78% with fewer disappointed walk-ins."

Mike Rivera

General Manager, SunGlow Wellness Studios

"Managing different lotion types for sensitive skin was a nightmare—we were always short on the organic, paraben-free ones during our 'Glow & Renew' promo months. Their custom AI learned our client patterns in just three weeks, cutting our excess inventory costs by 28% and letting us focus on upselling full-body tan packages to boost session upsells by 40%."

Why We're Different

We build from scratch for your salon's workflow, ditching rigid templates that ignore tanning seasonality—because one-size-fits-all just leaves you sunburned on stock.

True ownership means no endless subscriptions; you get a unified AI asset that grows with your membership base, not a patchwork of rented tools.

Our engineers, not assemblers, create scalable systems that handle your unique data like client skin type preferences, preventing the integration headaches others cause.

Focused on retention-driven insights, we embed member behavior analysis directly, so your forecasts support loyalty programs instead of generic sales guesses.

We avoid no-code limits by coding production-ready apps, ensuring your inventory AI withstands busy salon rushes without crashing.

Deep API ties to your POS and bookings create a single truth source, eliminating the manual errors that plague disconnected wellness tools.

Our frustration-born approach means we solve real pain—like expired lotions— with custom UIs that feel like an extension of your front desk.

Unlike assemblers relying on brittle connections, we deliver robust, owned systems that cut your tool juggling and boost operational glow.

We prioritize your exact needs, like forecasting for promo-driven tan packages, making every prediction a step toward higher client retention.

Backed by our own SaaS builds, we guarantee scalable, compliant solutions that evolve with your salon's growth, not lock you into vendor dependencies.

Common Questions

How does the AI handle seasonal changes in tanning demand?

Here's the thing—tanning isn't steady year-round. Our custom AI looks at your past data, like how July bookings spike 60% for full-body sessions, and factors in weather trends or holidays. We train it on your specifics, so it adjusts forecasts automatically. For instance, it might predict a 25% drop in spray tans come winter, helping you stock smarter without overbuying. It's all built into your workflow, so you get weekly updates that keep your shelves ready for whatever glow season brings. No more guessing; just precise predictions that support your retention goals.

Will this integrate with my existing salon booking software?

Absolutely, and that's where we shine. We don't force you into new tools. Instead, we create deep, two-way connections to whatever you're using—like Mindbody or Vagaro—for seamless data flow. Imagine your session bookings automatically feeding into the AI, updating lotion forecasts in real-time. We've done this for salons with mixed systems, cutting manual entry by hours each week. It's custom-coded for reliability, so no broken links during peak times. You're probably thinking about setup time—it's quick, with our team handling the heavy lifting to get you forecasting accurately from day one.

What kind of accuracy can I expect for inventory predictions?

Let's be honest, no system's perfect, but ours hits 80-90% accuracy after tuning to your data. We start with your historical sales—like how certain lotions fly off shelves during membership drives—and refine with machine learning. One salon saw stockout errors drop from 15% to under 2% in three months. It considers variables like client repeat rates and promo effects, delivering forecasts that feel intuitive. We monitor and tweak it ongoing, ensuring it evolves with your business. The result? Less waste, more cash for enhancing that member experience you care about.

How much does a custom inventory forecasting system cost?

Costs vary because it's built for your exact needs—no flat fees here. For a typical tanning salon, it starts around $8,000 for setup, depending on integrations and data complexity. That's a one-time build, leading to ownership without monthly subs eating your margins. Think of it like investing in a high-end tanning bed: upfront but pays off in efficiency. We break it down in your free consult, showing ROI—like recouping costs in 4-6 months through reduced overstock. We're transparent, focusing on value that boosts your retention and bottom line.

Can this forecasting help with product variety for different client types?

Yes, and it's a game-changer for personalized service. Your clients aren't one-size—some want organic lotions, others quick-dry sprays. Our AI segments forecasts by type, pulling from booking notes on skin preferences or past purchases. For example, if 40% of your members book sensitive-skin sessions, it prioritizes those stocks. This prevents shortages that frustrate loyal clients and ties into retention by ensuring variety during upsells. We customize the model to your categories, making it flexible for new products. Short answer: it keeps your inventory as diverse and welcoming as your salon vibe.

How long does it take to see results from the system?

Quick wins come fast. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, including data mapping and testing. By week 8, you're getting actionable forecasts—many salons report 20% less waste in the first month. It's like warming up before a tan session: initial effort, then smooth sailing. We run pilots with your recent data to validate accuracy upfront. Ongoing, it learns from your operations, improving predictions quarterly. You're probably thinking about disruption—minimal, as we work around your hours. The payoff? Smoother stock management that lets you focus on glowing client relationships.
