What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Time and Cost Savings
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly for Billable Work
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly for Billable Work: IT consultants in managed services spend excessive time reconciling hours from tools like Harvest. Our automation integrates with these systems, auto-generates SLA-compliant bills, and streamlines multi-level approvals—freeing teams for high-value client deliverables. Firms achieve a 30% productivity boost, recovering $50,000+ in billable hours annually for a typical 10-consultant team.
Achieve 4x Faster Payment Cycles and 25% ROI
Achieve 4x Faster Payment Cycles and 25% ROI: Manual processes in global IT retainers delay cash flow by weeks due to cross-border approvals. We automate from ticketing in ServiceNow to AR posting in NetSuite, slashing DSO from 45 to 12 days within 3 months. This speeds revenue recognition for recurring support contracts and reduces admin costs by 40%, with clients reporting 25% ROI in the first quarter through improved liquidity.
Minimize Errors and Compliance Risks in Complex Projects
Minimize Errors and Compliance Risks in Complex Projects: Variable scoping in IT implementations like ERP rollouts often sparks billing disputes and HIPAA/GDPR violations. Our AI parses contract terms from DocuSign, enforces SLAs automatically, and ensures 99% accuracy in variable billing. This safeguards relationships with enterprise clients and avoids $100K+ audit penalties, particularly in regulated sectors like cybersecurity and healthcare IT services.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried in Excel sheets tracking billable hours for AWS cloud migration projects—it took two full days per client to invoice accurately while ensuring SLA compliance. Now, the system auto-pulls data from our Jira instance and generates bills overnight. We've cut that time to under an hour, boosted on-time invoicing from 70% to 98%, and recovered 150 billable hours quarterly. It's transformed how we manage multi-year retainers for Fortune 500 clients."
Sarah Chen
Director of Operations, TechBridge Solutions (Mid-sized IT consultancy specializing in cloud infrastructure)
"As a mid-sized IT consultancy handling global support, we struggled with approval chains for international tickets in different time zones, often delaying payments by 3-4 weeks and straining cash flow. AIQ's custom automation integrated with our ServiceNow instance and routed approvals via Slack—saving us about 12 hours a week in admin time. Last quarter, our cash flow improved by 18%, letting us hire two more senior DevOps engineers without dipping into reserves."
Mike Rodriguez
Finance Lead, Nexus IT Partners (Provider of managed IT services across APAC and EMEA)
"Manual expense tracking for vendor subcontracts with partners like Cisco was a nightmare during our large-scale network overhaul projects, leading to frequent PO mismatches and delayed reimbursements. The AIQ solution scans receipts via OCR, matches them to POs in our procurement system, and invoices clients seamlessly through integrated billing. In the first month, we reduced errors by 40%, got paid 10 days faster on average, and avoided two potential client disputes. It's like having an extra accountant who understands IT procurement workflows inside out."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from standard invoicing software for IT services?
Unlike generic tools like QuickBooks or FreshBooks, which require manual input and lack deep IT integrations, our solution is custom-built to automate end-to-end from project tickets to payments. We connect directly to your ServiceNow or Azure instances, using AI to extract billable hours accurately. This eliminates 80% of manual entry, tailored to variable-scope IT projects, and avoids subscription fees by giving you ownership. Clients typically see ROI in 2-3 months through 15+ hours saved weekly.
What IT tools can be integrated with your invoice automation?
We specialize in seamless connections to IT staples: Jira for task tracking, Salesforce for client data, Microsoft Dynamics for accounting, and tools like Zendesk for support tickets. Our two-way APIs ensure real-time sync, so invoice data updates automatically as projects progress. For global firms, we handle multi-currency and time-zone approvals without hiccups. This custom approach prevents data silos, a common pain in professional services, and supports scaling from 50 to 500 projects monthly.
How secure is the system for sensitive IT client data?
Security is paramount in IT services, where client data like IP addresses or configs can't leak. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access controls from the start. AI processes data on your secure infrastructure, not cloud rentals, minimizing breach risks. We've audited systems for cybersecurity firms, ensuring GDPR and HIPAA alignment where needed. Regular penetration testing and anomaly detection add layers, giving you peace of mind while automating billing.
What's the timeline for implementing invoice automation?
For most IT services companies, we deliver a MVP in 4-6 weeks after discovery, with full rollout in 8-10 weeks. This includes mapping your workflows, building integrations, and testing against live data. Unlike assemblers who take months tweaking no-code, our engineering-first method accelerates deployment. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of support to hit 95% automation rates, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing client engagements.
Can this scale as our IT firm grows?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for SMB growth, handling everything from 10 consultants to 200+ without performance dips. We use modular AI frameworks that adapt to increased project volume, new client types, or expanded services like managed security. Early clients scaled from $5M to $15M revenue with zero rebuilds, maintaining 99.9% uptime. This ownership model means you're not locked into vendor limits, empowering sustainable expansion in competitive IT markets.
How do you measure ROI for our invoice processes?
We track tangible metrics: hours saved on manual tasks (target 15-25/week), reduction in billing errors (aim for <1%), and faster cash conversion (30-50% improvement in DSO). Pre-implementation audits set baselines, and post-launch dashboards show real-time gains. For IT firms, this often yields 20-30% margin uplift by redirecting admin time to billables. We've delivered 4x ROI in the first year for similar clients, backed by detailed reports.
