We build custom AI models that integrate your scheduling data, client histories, and regional trends to predict exact needs. No more guessing. Our enterprise-grade systems adapt to your workflow, forecasting everything from eco-disinfectants to bulk paper towels with pinpoint accuracy. This isn't off-the-shelf software; it's a proven track record of reducing waste while keeping your teams equipped for any job.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Operational Efficiency That Scales With Your Business
Precision Forecasting for Peak Seasons
Precision Forecasting for Peak Seasons: Imagine knowing exactly how many HVAC filters you'll need for spring allergy surges without overbuying bulk packs. Our custom models, trained on historical job data from your service area, cut stockouts by 50% within the first quarter, ensuring your technicians never delay installations due to missing supplies—saving you 10-15 hours weekly on emergency supplier runs.
Optimized Cash Flow and Reduced Waste
Optimized Cash Flow and Reduced Waste: Home repair supplies like paints and adhesives aren't cheap, especially low-VOC eco-options. By forecasting demand down to the gallon or tube using your job scheduling patterns, we help you slash overstock by 30% over six months, freeing up capital for hiring more field technicians or adding electrical services. It's like having a crystal ball for your van inventory, tailored to your residential client mix.
Flexible Adaptation to Client Demands
Flexible Adaptation to Client Demands: From homeowners needing non-toxic paints for indoor renovations to allergy sufferers requiring HEPA-filter vacuums, our system learns your unique service portfolio. This means no more generic spreadsheets—just reliable insights from integrated CRM data that keep your operations smooth and clients satisfied, boosting repeat business by up to 25% in the first year through on-time fulfillment.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were throwing away hundreds in expired HVAC refrigerants every quarter because our manual guesses were off during summer AC repair peaks. Their custom forecasting integrated with our Housecall Pro scheduling and now we order just right—saved us about $4,500 last year alone on supplies for our 15-person team across 200+ residential jobs."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, SparkleHome HVAC Services
"Expanding to three new suburbs meant chaos with inventory; we'd run out of organic fertilizers mid-landscaping job and lose homeowner trust. The AI system they built predicts our needs based on local weather patterns and contract schedules, cutting shortages to zero in six months. It's transformed how we bid on larger yard maintenance contracts."

"Our old Excel sheets couldn't handle the variability of residential deep-clean contracts—too much or too little every time, especially with varying home sizes. AIQ's solution factors in square footage data from our ServiceTitan app and has reduced our overstock of cleaning agents by 40% in the past year. Finally, our supply room feels organized, and my accountant is thrilled with the improved cash flow for seasonal hires."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting handle the irregular schedules typical in cleaning services?
Cleaning jobs often spike unpredictably—think spring cleaning rushes or one-off event setups. Our custom AI ingests your scheduling data from tools like Jobber, factoring in job types, durations, and historical no-shows. It generates forecasts that adapt to these patterns, predicting needs for supplies like mop heads or glass cleaners with 92% accuracy based on our deployments. Unlike rigid software, this system learns from your unique client base, ensuring you stock just enough for that surprise deep clean without excess. We've seen clients reduce emergency orders by 60%, stabilizing operations year-round.
What makes this different from standard inventory apps for cleaning businesses?
Off-the-shelf apps apply broad retail logic, overlooking cleaning's service nuances like variable job scopes or client-mandated products. We engineer a tailored model that analyzes your specific data—past invoices, seasonal trends, even regional allergy seasons—to forecast precisely. For instance, it can predict extra demand for antiviral wipes during flu outbreaks. Built on advanced frameworks, it integrates deeply with your CRM, providing ownership and scalability. Cleaning firms using our system report 35% lower holding costs, as it's designed for your workflow, not a generic template.
Can this system account for eco-friendly or specialized cleaning supplies?
Absolutely. Many cleaning services commit to green practices, but sourcing sustainable options like biodegradable degreasers can be tricky. Our AI flags these in forecasts, prioritizing them based on your client contracts and supplier availability. It tracks expiration dates for perishables and suggests bulk buys during promotions. In one case, a mid-sized firm avoided $2,000 in waste by forecasting hypoallergenic needs for residential clients. We customize inputs for your sustainability goals, ensuring compliance and cost efficiency while maintaining your eco-edge in a competitive market.
How long does it take to implement inventory forecasting for our team?
Implementation is streamlined for minimal disruption. We start with a two-week discovery to map your data sources, followed by four to six weeks of building and testing the model against your real scenarios. Full rollout, including training your staff on the intuitive dashboard, takes about eight weeks total. During this, we run parallel to your current process to avoid gaps. Post-launch, our support ensures smooth adoption—clients often see initial forecasts within the first month, with full optimization by quarter's end, transforming supply management without halting operations.
What data do you need from our cleaning business to get started?
We work with what you have, starting with accessible sources like your scheduling software exports, past purchase orders, and client job logs. No need for perfect datasets; our AI cleans and enriches them. For deeper accuracy, we incorporate external factors like local event calendars or weather APIs relevant to outdoor cleans. Privacy is paramount—we use secure, compliant methods to handle sensitive info. A typical setup pulls from three to five sources, and we've onboarded teams with fragmented records, quickly building models that deliver 25-40% efficiency gains in forecasting reliability.
Will this forecasting help with scaling our cleaning services to new areas?
Scaling introduces new variables, like differing regional demands for carpet shampoos in humid climates versus dry ones. Our system is built to expand seamlessly, incorporating geo-specific data such as local regulations or competitor activity. We model growth scenarios, predicting supply needs for added vans or crews. For a client adding two cities, it forecasted a 20% uptick in industrial cleaners accurately, preventing shortages. With modular design, you can add locations without rebuilding, supporting your growth from 10 to 50 jobs weekly while keeping inventory lean and costs controlled.
