Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all software treats your plumbing business like a generic retailer. It ignores the frenzy of frozen pipe repairs in winter or the steady drip of residential fixture installs. We build custom AI models from the ground up, trained on your job logs, seasonal patterns, and local demand. Think of it like a digital apprentice who learns your routes and client quirks, predicting needs before the phone rings. Flexible and scalable, this system integrates seamlessly with your scheduling tools, ensuring parts arrive just in time—never too early, never too late.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Fits Your Daily Grind
Slash Stockouts by 40%
Slash Stockouts by 40%: Never turn away a midnight drain clog job again. Our AI anticipates demand from historical service tickets and local weather patterns, keeping critical ball valves, O-rings, and rubber gaskets ready in your van. Industry benchmarks from the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association show plumbers save $12,000 annually on rush orders for fittings alone.
Boost Cash Flow with Precision
Boost Cash Flow with Precision: Overstocking drains your wallet faster than a leaky faucet. We optimize holdings to match your residential and commercial workflows, reducing excess inventory of ABS and CPVC pipes by 30% within the first quarter. That's real money back in your pocket—up to $15,000—for hiring additional certified techs or upgrading service vans with better racking systems.
Strengthen Client Ties
Strengthen Client Ties: Reliable parts mean faster fixes and happier homeowners facing sewer backups. Our forecasting cuts job delays by 25% by pre-stocking trap primers and cleanouts, turning one-time repairs into loyal repeat business. Plumbers report 18% higher referral rates post-implementation, with 70% of clients booking annual maintenance contracts.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd hoard copper sweat fittings after a big apartment complex repipe job, only to sit on them for six months through the off-season. Their custom system now predicts our needs based on our service area in Chicago's South Side—cut our overstock by half, and we handled last winter's deep freeze without a single stockout on lead-free solder. It's like having an extra warehouse manager who never sleeps and knows every union code."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Plumbing Services
"Generic apps couldn't handle our mix of residential water softener installs and commercial grease trap emergencies. AIQ built something that looks at our Google Calendar, job dispatch logs, and weather reports to forecast demands for flexible drain hoses and solvent cement. Saved us $8K in rush deliveries last quarter during monsoon season, and my techs are out the door 20 minutes faster every morning with fully loaded vans."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Plumbing Co.
"We were losing jobs to competitors because parts weren't ready for the spring burst pipe season after heavy rains. After three months with their forecasting, inventory matches our call volume perfectly—no more apologies to clients waiting on flanged couplings or pipe dope. Revenue's up 22% this year from faster sump pump installs, and the system's so intuitive, even my 25-year veteran tech uses it on his tablet during site visits."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle the unpredictability of plumbing emergencies?
Plumbing isn't like steady retail sales—emergencies spike without warning. Our custom AI ingests your past job data, cross-references local weather patterns (like sudden freezes), and even factors in community events that drive calls. For instance, we train the model on your historical response times to predict surges in drain snake or rooter needs. Unlike generic tools, this setup achieves 90%+ accuracy for your specific area, ensuring you stock just enough without waste. We start with a two-week data sync to calibrate, then refine ongoing. Plumbers we've worked with report handling 30% more urgent jobs without extra buys.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf inventory apps?
Off-the-shelf apps push cookie-cutter forecasts that ignore plumbing realities, like the rush for leak detectors after heavy rains. We build enterprise-grade models tailored to your workflow—analyzing service tickets, van inventories, and supplier lead times. It's flexible: If you specialize in commercial hydronic systems, we prioritize those parts. No subscriptions; you own it all. Benchmarks show our clients reduce stockouts by 40%, far above the 15-20% from standard software. Setup involves mapping your exact processes, ensuring it fits like a custom wrench set.
How quickly can I see results after implementation?
Most plumbers notice improvements within the first month. We kick off with a rapid audit of your current stock and jobs, building the AI core in 4-6 weeks. Early wins include automated alerts that prevent the next stockout. For example, one client in Texas saw a 25% drop in overstock during their hot season rollout. Full optimization hits by quarter two, with ongoing tweaks. Our process includes weekly check-ins to align with your pace, so you're not left guessing. It's designed for busy ops—no downtime, just gradual efficiency gains.
Will this integrate with my existing plumbing software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like QuickBooks for billing, ServiceTitan for scheduling, or even custom spreadsheets for van logs. The AI pulls data on parts used per job, feeding back forecasts directly into your system. No brittle APIs here—our engineers ensure seamless flow, reducing manual entry by 80%. If you're using something niche, like a legacy dispatch app, we custom-code the bridge. Past clients report unified views that cut errors in reordering faucets or traps, saving hours weekly.
Is the system secure for sensitive plumbing client data?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where client addresses and job details are gold. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus plumbing-specific regs on water quality data. Your inventory forecasts stay in a private, owned cloud—no third-party access. Role-based permissions mean techs see only van stock, while managers get full analytics. We've audited systems for 100+ SMBs, with zero breaches. Regular updates keep it robust against threats, giving you peace of mind during those high-stakes emergency responses.
Can this scale if my plumbing business grows?
Yes, our solutions are built to expand with you—from a two-truck outfit to a 20-crew operation. The AI architecture handles increased data volume effortlessly, scaling forecasts across new locations or service lines like HVAC add-ons. We design for modularity: Add features like supplier bidding automation as you grow. Clients starting small have doubled revenue without rebuilding, maintaining 95% forecast accuracy. It's not rigid software; it's a living system we evolve together, ensuring it supports your ambitions without the headaches of outgrowing tools.
