Achieve 4x Faster Cash Flow with Error-Free Invoicing
Achieve 4x Faster Cash Flow with Error-Free Invoicing: Picture this: invoices for your latest kitchen cabinet project or structural steel assembly go out accurately the day the install wraps, not weeks later after manual reviews of rebar quantities or bolt specs. We cut errors by 95%, ensuring payments roll in quicker from general contractors—translating to better ROI on your materials inventory and fewer sleepless nights over delayed checks on multimillion-dollar builds.
Scale Your Shop Without Scaling Admin Headaches
Scale Your Shop Without Scaling Admin Headaches: As orders for custom millwork or modular building components pile up, our system grows with you, automating escalations for rush jobs or material price hikes on aluminum extrusions or gypsum board. This means handling 50% more projects without hiring extra office help, keeping your operations lean like a well-planed board, with full scalability from small custom runs to high-volume prefab manufacturing.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd spend Fridays sorting through stacks of invoices for our custom door orders—always missing something on the brass hinge costs or lockset deliveries. Now, it's all automated; we saved about 18 hours a week and got paid two weeks faster on our last big residential remodel contract. Game-changer for keeping the saws running without cash flow hiccups."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Doors & Millwork
"I was skeptical at first—our shop's invoices vary wildly with each furniture build, especially tracking exotic hardwoods like cherry or oak veneers. But their custom setup caught a billing error on walnut slabs that saved us $2,500 last quarter during a high-volume cabinet run. Processing time dropped from days to minutes, and my bookkeeper finally gets weekends off to focus on shop floor efficiencies."
Sara Lopez
Operations Manager, Lopez Fine Furniture Manufacturing
"Dealing with change orders for on-site installs was killing us, especially adjustments for trim carpentry or drywall finishing. AIQ built something that auto-updates invoices in real-time for material variances, cutting our disputes with general contractors by half on commercial projects. We've seen a clear ROI in under four months, with 30% faster approvals on our bids for larger jobs—way less risky now."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this handle the variability in woodworking invoices, like custom cuts or material substitutions?
Woodworking invoices can be tricky with all those one-off specs, right? Our AI is trained specifically on your historical data, learning patterns like how you bill for maple vs. pine substitutions or extra routing for intricate designs. It auto-captures variables from PDFs or emails, matches them to your job sheets, and even suggests adjustments based on past projects. For instance, if a supplier swaps in a different grade of lumber, it flags it for review before approval. We've seen shops reduce revision cycles by 70%, turning what used to be a two-hour headache into a 5-minute check. It's all custom to your workflow, so no generic mismatches.
What's the typical ROI timeline for a shop my size?
You're probably thinking about the bottom line—fair enough. For a mid-sized woodworking shop processing 50-100 invoices monthly, we typically see payback in 3-5 months. That comes from slashing manual hours (say, 20/week at $25/hour) and cutting errors that delay payments. One client recouped our fee in four months by getting contractor checks in 10 days faster. We start with a quick audit to project your exact savings, factoring in your material volumes and billing frequency. Long-term, it's a 4-6x ROI annually as you scale without added admin costs. Let's chat specifics for your setup.
Will this integrate with my existing shop management software?
Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. Whether you're using something like ShopWare, WoodPro, or even a custom Excel setup tied to QuickBooks, we build deep, two-way connections. No superficial links that break—think real-time syncing of invoice data to update job costs as materials arrive. For example, when a lumber invoice hits, it auto-adjusts your inventory and flags any overages in real-time. We've hooked into everything from legacy ERP systems in old mills to modern cloud tools. The result? A single view of your finances without the usual data entry grind. We map it out in the discovery phase to ensure it fits seamlessly.
How secure is the system for sensitive supplier pricing data?
Security is non-negotiable in manufacturing, especially with proprietary pricing on rare woods or custom finishes. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access so only your bookkeeper sees full invoices, while foremen get approval-only views. It's compliant with standards like SOC 2, and we audit regularly. Unlike cloud subscriptions that store your data on shared servers, our custom build gives you full control—host it on your secure network if preferred. One shop we worked with had zero breaches after switching, even during a big expansion. We prioritize this because one leak could cost more than the savings.
Can I still make manual overrides if needed for unique projects?
Of course—automation shouldn't box you in. Our system is flexible; you can pause AI processing for a special one-off, like a prototype with experimental stains, and handle it manually if you want. But here's the thing: it learns from those overrides to get smarter over time, suggesting them proactively for similar jobs. For instance, if you tweak billing for a client's custom engraving, it remembers for future runs. This keeps your control intact while handling 90% of the routine stuff. Shops love it because it adapts to the creative chaos of woodworking without forcing rigidity.
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
We're in it for the long haul, not a one-and-done setup. Post-launch, you get dedicated support for the first 90 days, including weekly check-ins to optimize based on your usage—like refining how it handles seasonal furniture orders. After that, it's ongoing access to our team via a priority channel, with updates for new features as your shop evolves. No generic tickets; we understand woodworking pains, so responses are quick and contextual. One client called us mid-rush for a fix on invoice routing, and we resolved it in under an hour. It's like having an in-house expert without the salary.
