The "Supply Chain" Problem
Unpredictable Material Shortages Mid-Install: Running out of custom-milled window frames or tempered glass during a kitchen remodel installation
Seasonal Demand Swings Wreaking Havoc on Frame Orders: Surging orders for energy-efficient vinyl windows in spring leading to overcommitted suppliers
Overstocked Warehouses Tying Up Cash During Slow Months
Manual Tracking Leading to Costly Measurement Mismatches: Hand-calculating sash sizes resulting in excess laminated glass cuts that can't be reused
Supplier Delays Disrupting Tight Installation Timelines
Supplier Delays Disrupting Tight Installation Timelines: Late arrivals of aluminum extrusions halting bathroom window replacements on multi-unit residential jobs

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Precision Supply for Your Operations
Zero-Delay Installations
Zero-Delay Installations: Predict demand for custom frames, sealants, and glazing beads with 95% accuracy, based on your job history from CRM data on past window and door installs. This eliminates last-minute scrambles for rush-ordered tempered glass, keeping your installation teams productive and clients satisfied—reducing reschedule rates by up to 30% within the first quarter of implementation.
Optimized Cash Flow
Optimized Cash Flow: Reduce excess inventory of sidelights and transoms by 40%, freeing up capital for growth initiatives like fleet expansion. Our models factor in seasonal peaks like spring remodels for energy-efficient replacements, preventing the cash drain from unused stock sitting in your yard during off-seasons like late fall.
Risk-Resistant Planning
Risk-Resistant Planning: Built-in buffers for supplier variability in hardware like hinges and locks, plus weather disruptions, mean you avoid costly penalties from delayed jobs such as patio door installs. Clients report 25% fewer emergency orders for mullion reinforcements, stabilizing your bottom line year-round across residential and light commercial projects.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd overorder tempered glass and aluminum frames for every large commercial retrofit, only to have it sit idle for months in our yard. Their forecasting system precisely matched our needs for a 45-unit condo window replacement project last summer—saved us $12K in overstock costs and kept all installs on schedule even during that brutal heatwave that slowed down crews."
Mike Reynolds
Operations Manager, ClearView Window Installations Inc.
"Manual inventory tracking was overwhelming our small team; one mismeasured casement window frame and we'd waste an entire day recutting. The custom AI from AIQ Labs integrates with our CRM to forecast frame sizes and predict needs based on historical residential installs, slashing our material waste from 18% to under 5% in just three months—no more disputes with suppliers over rejected double-pane returns."
Sarah Patel
Owner, Precision Pane & Door Services LLC
"Our historic home renovations often involve non-standard arched windows, and generic software just couldn't adapt to our quirky patterns. AIQ's tailored system analyzed our data and now alerts us to potential shortages in custom-curved glazing two weeks in advance. Last winter, it prevented a complete halt when blizzards delayed a critical muntin shipment—our crews remained fully billable on other heritage jobs without downtime."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle custom window sizes that vary by job?
We tailor the AI to learn from your specific job history, analyzing measurements from past installations like bay windows or skylights. Unlike generic tools, it incorporates variables such as client preferences for tempered vs. laminated glass and regional size standards. For a mid-sized installer, this meant forecasting 85% of custom orders accurately within a week, reducing mismatches that previously caused 10-15% returns. The model updates continuously as you input new data, ensuring it adapts to your evolving project mix without manual tweaks.
What data do you need to get started with inventory forecasting?
We begin with your existing records: job schedules, past purchase orders, supplier invoices, and warehouse logs. No need for perfect data—we clean and structure it during discovery. For window companies, we focus on install calendars and material specs to build accurate baselines. One client started with six months of scattered Excel sheets; within two weeks, our system was generating forecasts that cut their emergency buys by 60%. We handle the heavy lifting, so your team can keep focusing on installs.
Can this integrate with our current scheduling software?
Absolutely—our solutions connect deeply with tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even custom CRMs via robust APIs. For window installers, this means syncing forecasts with crew routes and job timelines, so materials are staged exactly when needed. We've integrated with over 20 home services platforms, ensuring no data silos. A recent project linked it to their QuickBooks for auto-reorders, slashing processing time from days to hours and preventing stockouts during peak seasons.
How accurate are the forecasts compared to manual methods?
Our custom models achieve 92-95% accuracy for demand prediction, far surpassing the 70% typical of manual spreadsheets in home services. We factor in your unique factors, like spring surges in replacement windows or delays from permitting. Clients see results quickly: one firm reduced overstock by 35% in the first quarter, turning tied-up cash into new equipment. Accuracy improves over time as the AI learns from your outcomes, making it a reliable partner for scaling operations.
What if our business grows or changes suppliers?
The system is designed to scale seamlessly—adding new warehouses or suppliers just requires a quick data update, and the AI retrains automatically. For growing window companies, this handles volume spikes without rework. We include ongoing optimization, monitoring performance metrics like turnover rates. A client who expanded to two locations last year reported no disruptions; forecasts adjusted in real-time, maintaining 25% cost savings even as jobs doubled.
Is there ongoing maintenance required after implementation?
Minimal—once built, the system runs autonomously with built-in self-monitoring for anomalies, like sudden demand shifts from market trends. We provide a simple dashboard for your team to review, but no daily upkeep is needed. Annual tune-ups ensure it stays ahead of changes, like new eco-friendly glass regulations. Firms we've worked with spend just 2-3 hours monthly on oversight, reclaiming time from chasing stock issues and boosting overall efficiency.
