What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Operational Precision That Drives MSP Growth
Eliminate Deployment Delays
Eliminate Deployment Delays: Our AI models predict demand with 92% accuracy by analyzing PSA ticket trends, ensuring hardware like firewalls is ready for client upgrades within 48 hours. MSPs using our system report 35% fewer project delays in the first six months, keeping NOC SLAs intact and client satisfaction scores above 95%.
Optimize Cash Flow in Volatile Markets
Optimize Cash Flow in Volatile Markets: Avoid tying up capital in excess inventory—our forecasts, integrated with RMM data, reduce overstock by 45% while scaling for seasonal support surges. In one case, a mid-sized MSP reclaimed $200K annually by aligning purchases to actual client endpoint needs, enabling reinvestment in SOC expansions.
Strengthen Client Relationships Through Reliability
Strengthen Client Relationships Through Reliability: Proactive inventory management via custom API integrations means no more apologies for stock issues during field deployments. Technicians hit the site prepared with pre-staged kits, boosting on-site efficiency by 28% and converting 20% more one-time fixes into multi-year managed service retainers.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were constantly scrambling for Cisco routers during Q4 renewal season—last year alone, stockouts cost us three major enterprise clients and a 15% dip in NPS scores. Their custom forecasting tool pulled data from our ConnectWise PSA tickets and vendor APIs, cutting our stockouts by 50% in just two months. Now, deployments are smooth, our NOC uptime is 99.5%, and our team has time to focus on upselling cybersecurity bundles."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Director, TechGuard MSP (150+ endpoints managed)
"Inventory was a black hole for us; we'd overbuy Aruba switches based on gut feel from RMM alerts and end up with shelves full of obsolete gear, tying up 25% of our budget. AIQ's system integrated our client contracts with Autotask data and gave us spot-on predictions for endpoint refreshes—reduced waste by 40% and saved us $75K in the last quarter alone. It's like having a dedicated inventory analyst who never sleeps, integrated right into our dashboard."
Mike Rivera
IT Procurement Lead, Nexus Services (Serving 200 SMB clients)
"As a growing MSP with 50 field techs, we hit walls with generic tools that didn't understand our ticket-driven demands from Kaseya RMM. AIQ built something tailored—factoring in our dispatch schedules, vendor lead times for Dell servers, and seasonal VoIP upgrades. In the first quarter post-implementation, we avoided a $50K emergency order, improved our SLA compliance to 98%, and grew retainers by 22%. Total game-changer for our margins and scalability."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting differ from standard ERP tools for MSPs?
Unlike rigid ERP systems designed for manufacturing, our custom AI solution is built specifically for the dynamic, client-driven world of managed services. We train models on your ticket histories, contract renewals, and field deployment data to predict needs like server upgrades or endpoint devices with 92% accuracy. This tailored approach avoids the one-size-fits-all pitfalls, integrating directly with tools like Autotask without forcing workflow changes. MSPs we've partnered with see 30-40% reductions in overstock within months, reclaiming cash for growth initiatives. It's not just forecasting; it's a proactive layer that anticipates disruptions like sudden cyber demands.
What data sources do you use to build the forecasting model?
We start with your core MSP data: PSA ticket volumes, client contract details, historical procurement records, and technician assignment logs. This creates a comprehensive view of demand drivers unique to services, such as quarterly compliance audits or remote work surges. If you use CRM like HubSpot for client tracking, we integrate that too. Our process ensures data privacy, using anonymized aggregates for training. The result? Forecasts that factor in real variables, like a 20% demand spike during tax season for accounting MSPs, helping you stock precisely without excess.
How long does it take to implement the system for our MSP?
From initial consultation to live deployment, most MSPs are up and running in 6-8 weeks. We begin with a two-week discovery phase to map your workflows, followed by three weeks of model development and testing. Integration with your existing tools takes another week, with a final tuning period. This timeline is faster than off-the-shelf solutions because we avoid generic setups—everything is custom-built for your operations. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of hands-on support to ensure your team is comfortable, leading to immediate wins like reduced emergency orders.
Can this forecasting system scale as our MSP grows?
Absolutely. Our architecture uses scalable cloud frameworks that handle everything from 50 to 500+ clients without performance dips. As you add service lines, like cloud migrations, the AI retrains automatically on new data patterns. We've seen MSPs double their headcount and maintain 95% forecast accuracy seamlessly. Unlike subscription-based tools that charge per user or hit integration limits, our owned system grows with you—no hidden fees or rebuilds required. This enterprise-grade flexibility has helped partners expand into new markets without inventory headaches.
What kind of ROI can an MSP expect from this service?
Typically, MSPs recover their investment within 4-6 months through cost savings. By cutting stockouts and overstock, you save 25-45% on procurement expenses—think $100K+ annually for mid-sized firms. Faster deployments improve billable utilization by 20%, turning potential client churn into renewals. One partner avoided $60K in rush fees last year alone. We track ROI via built-in metrics, showing tangible outcomes like reduced carrying costs and higher SLA scores. It's a strategic asset that not only optimizes inventory but elevates your reputation as a reliable provider.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive MSP client data?
Security is paramount in managed services. We build with compliance in mind, using encrypted data pipelines and SOC 2 Type II standards to protect client contract and ticket information. Access controls ensure only authorized team members view forecasts, with audit logs for every interaction. Unlike shared SaaS platforms, your data stays within your controlled environment—no third-party exposure. We've successfully deployed for MSPs in regulated sectors like healthcare IT, maintaining zero breaches. Regular vulnerability assessments keep the system robust against evolving threats.
