What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, post-event invoicing meant days chasing receipts from our florists, DJs, and lighting crews after weekend galas.

It's like adding a dedicated billing specialist to our team without the headcount."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your invoice automation handle the variable costs in event planning?
Event planning involves unpredictable elements like last-minute add-ons for lighting or floral arrangements. Our custom AI system is designed to adapt: it uses machine learning to categorize and extract data from diverse sources, such as vendor emails or on-site receipts, and matches them against your original event contracts. For instance, during a recent corporate retreat project, it automatically adjusted invoices for overtime catering costs, saving the client 10 hours of manual review. We tailor the logic to your workflows, ensuring accuracy even for bespoke packages, and integrate it directly with your accounting software to prevent cash flow disruptions. This isn't generic OCR—it's intelligent processing built for the nuances of your industry.
What kind of time savings can event companies expect?
Based on our deployments with similar firms, event planners typically reclaim 15-25 hours per week from invoicing tasks alone. Consider a mid-sized agency handling 40 events yearly: manual processes might eat up two full days post-event for reconciliation and billing. Our AI automates capture, validation, and generation, reducing that to under an hour. One partner reported processing a full wedding invoice set—from vendors to client send—in 20 minutes versus three hours. These gains compound during peak seasons, allowing your team to focus on client pitches and creative execution, with an average ROI hitting 300% within six months through faster payments and fewer errors.
Is this solution customizable for my specific event types?
Absolutely—unlike templated tools, we build everything around your exact operations. If you specialize in weddings, we'll configure AI to handle intricate details like guest count adjustments for linens or DJ fees. For conferences, it might prioritize multi-vendor syncing for sponsorship reimbursements. We start with a deep-dive audit of your current processes, then engineer features like custom fields for event themes or venues. A recent client in destination events saw their system flag international vendor currencies automatically, avoiding exchange rate mishaps. This tailored approach ensures the automation feels like an extension of your team, not a forced fit.
How secure is the data in your invoice automation system?
Security is paramount in professional services, especially with client financials tied to high-value events. We employ enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, adhering to standards like SOC 2 and GDPR. Access is role-based, so only approved team members see sensitive invoice details, with full audit logs for compliance. For event firms, this means protecting attendee payment info or sponsor contracts from breaches. In one deployment, our system passed a rigorous audit for a Fortune 500 client's gala, with zero vulnerabilities. We also include features like automatic redaction of personal data in reports, giving you peace of mind while scaling your operations.
What integrations do you support for event planning tools?
We specialize in seamless, two-way integrations to eliminate data silos. Common setups include syncing with CRM platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot for client details, accounting tools such as Xero or QuickBooks for payments, and event-specific software like Planning Pod or Tripleseat for contract pulls. For a wedding planner client, we connected their system to Google Workspace for real-time email invoice pulls and Stripe for instant payments. If you use niche tools for RSVP tracking, we'll custom-build APIs to feed that data directly into invoicing. This creates a unified flow, reducing errors by 85% and ensuring your workflows hum without manual intervention.
How long does it take to implement and see results?
Implementation typically spans 4-8 weeks, depending on your complexity—from initial mapping to live testing during a low-stakes event. We prioritize quick wins: basic automation can be operational in two weeks for simple invoicing. A conference planning firm went live in five weeks and saw immediate results, with their first automated batch processing 30 invoices error-free, saving 12 hours that month. Post-launch, we monitor and tweak for optimal performance, with full ROI materializing in 2-3 months as payments accelerate and admin burdens lift. It's a phased rollout to minimize disruption during your busy periods.
