No more manual spreadsheets—watch as predictions update in real-time based on crew assignments, keeping your teams equipped without excess hauls of boulders or shrubs eating into margins.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we overbought bulk fertilizer every spring for our residential turf projects and sat on unused bags through fall, tying up thousands in storage. Their custom forecast, tailored to our local planting cycles, cut our waste in half last season—we saved about $8,000 on excess inventory and nailed every job deadline without shortages on sod or topsoil deliveries."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, GreenScape Pros Landscape Services
"The weather unpredictability in our region was killing us on sod and perennial orders for garden makeovers. AIQ built a custom system that factors in local rain patterns and soil moisture data; we've avoided three major stockouts this year on irrigation supplies, leading to faster turnarounds and happier clients with on-time backyard transformations."
Sarah Patel
Owner, Evergreen Landscaping & Design
"It integrated perfectly with our field app for tracking hardscape jobs. No more guessing on gravel quantities for driveway and retaining wall projects—AIQ's forecasts are spot-on for bulk deliveries, and we've reduced frantic supplier rushes by 60% over the past six months. It's like having a crystal ball for our entire inventory pipeline."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle unpredictable weather in landscaping?
Weather is a game-changer for landscapers, often throwing off sod or mulch needs overnight. Our custom AI integrates hyper-local weather APIs directly into the model, analyzing patterns like El Niño effects or sudden droughts. For instance, if a forecast shows heavy rains delaying jobs, it auto-adjusts stock predictions to avoid overbuying perishables. We've seen clients reduce weather-related waste by 28%. The system learns from your past seasons too, so it's not just reactive—it's predictive, factoring in your regional climate history for more reliable planning year-round.
What data do you need to build our custom inventory model?
We start with what you already have: job logs from your scheduling software, past purchase orders, supplier invoices, and client contracts. No need for perfect data—we clean and structure it during discovery. For landscapers, this includes specifics like square footage of turf installed per season or types of plants ordered. If you lack some details, our AI can bootstrap from industry benchmarks, then refine as your real data flows in. The goal is a model tuned to your operations, typically ready in 4-6 weeks, delivering forecasts that mirror your workflow precisely.
Can this integrate with my existing field management tools?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even custom CRMs used by landscaping firms. Our system pulls job schedules to anticipate material needs—like gravel for upcoming driveway installs—and pushes back inventory updates to prevent overcommitment. This eliminates manual entry, which wastes 15-20 hours weekly for many teams. Post-integration, you'll see unified dashboards showing stock levels alongside crew routes, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks during busy seasons.
How accurate are your forecasts compared to standard software?
Generic tools hover around 70-80% accuracy because they ignore landscaping specifics like regional bloom cycles or client-driven surges. Our custom models hit 95% by training on your unique data—sales history, weather impacts, even local event calendars for park jobs. One client, a mid-sized firm in Texas, went from frequent stockouts during heatwaves to zero disruptions last summer. We benchmark against your first few months' results and iterate, so accuracy improves over time, directly tying to reduced costs and happier clients.
What if our business grows or changes suppliers?
Scalability is core to our design. As your landscaping operation expands—say, adding irrigation services or switching to eco-friendly suppliers—our AI adapts without a full rebuild. The modular architecture lets us tweak variables like new material types or vendor lead times in days, not months. We've supported firms doubling their fleet size, maintaining forecast precision while incorporating growth data. You own the system, so updates are yours to control, avoiding the lock-in of subscription models that charge extra for every change.
Is this solution secure for handling our client project data?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with client contracts tied to inventory. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like SOC 2, ensuring your job details and stock info stay protected. Data is processed in isolated environments, with access logs for audits. For landscapers, this means sensitive info like estate project specs won't leak during forecasts. Our track record includes zero breaches across 150+ deployments, giving you confidence as you scale without exposing your client relationships.
