Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we don't slap together off-the-shelf tools. We engineer bespoke AI systems tailored to your plumbing operations—from capturing job details via mobile uploads to auto-generating invoices that match your exact service codes. Imagine finishing a pipe repair, snapping a photo of the work, and having the invoice drafted, approved, and sent in minutes. Our enterprise-grade integrations connect directly with your field management software, ensuring every faucet fix or drain clear translates to precise, timely billing. This isn't a generic template; it's a unified system owned by your business, slashing manual entry by 90% and boosting your team's productivity on the road.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings That Drive Real ROI
Slash Weekly Admin Hours by 80%
Slash Weekly Admin Hours by 80%: Your plumbers spend less time reconciling pipe inventory spreadsheets and more in the field tackling emergency clogs. Industry benchmarks from the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association show teams save 12-15 hours per week on invoicing, freeing up capacity for 20% more service calls—such as after-hours water heater installs—without hiring extra staff. This direct productivity boost translates to higher revenue from urgent jobs that can't wait, potentially adding $10K+ quarterly from optimized scheduling.
Achieve 4x Faster Cash Flow Cycles
Achieve 4x Faster Cash Flow Cycles: Manual invoicing after burst pipe repairs delays payments by weeks, but our AI system generates and sends bills instantly post-job via mobile app integration. Plumbers report collecting 70% of invoices within 7 days for services like fixture replacements, compared to the industry average of 30 days per PHCC data. This accelerates your cash flow for restocking copper piping or expanding to new neighborhoods without dipping into reserves, often improving working capital by 25% in the first quarter.
Cut Billing Errors and Client Disputes by 95%
Cut Billing Errors and Client Disputes by 95%: Miscalculated costs for PEX tubing or overlooked overtime on repiping jobs lead to rework and lost trust. Our precise AI matching of job logs—from video pipe inspections to invoices—ensures accuracy, reducing disputes that affect 40% of home service firms according to ServiceTitan reports. Enjoy smoother client relationships, fewer callbacks for warranty leaks, and preserved reputation as a reliable plumber, saving an average of $3K per year in dispute resolutions.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our team was buried in invoice spreadsheets after long days unclogging main sewer lines and installing new sump pumps. Now, everything auto-syncs from the job site via our field tablets—we've cut billing time from 10 hours a week to just 1, and payments for emergency calls come in twice as fast. It's like having an extra tech on the truck without the payroll hit, letting us handle 15% more jobs last quarter."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Harlan Plumbing & Heating, serving 5,000+ homes in the Midwest
"We handle a lot of after-hours slab leaks and burst pipe emergencies, and chasing invoices was killing our cash flow. Their custom setup integrates our field app directly with QuickBooks, spotting missed line items like extra fittings before they become issues. In three months, our error rate on water line repairs dropped from 15% to under 2%, and we're actually ahead on collections for the first time in years—up 35% year-over-year."
Sarah Kline
Owner, QuickFlow Plumbing Solutions, specializing in 24/7 residential repairs in California
"As a small crew of four, we couldn't afford billing mistakes on big whole-house repipe jobs using CPVC materials. AIQ built this for our exact workflow—no more manual math on fittings, labor, and disposal fees at 2 AM after flood responses. Saved us about $5K in disputed charges on galvanized pipe replacements last quarter alone, and my guys love not dealing with soggy paperwork in the truck."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this integrate with my existing plumbing software?
We specialize in deep, custom integrations with tools like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or QuickBooks. Unlike generic automations that rely on shaky APIs, our engineers build secure, two-way connections that pull job data directly into invoices. For a typical plumbing firm, this means service notes from a drain cleaning job auto-populate billing fields, cutting manual entry by 90%. We've done this for over 100 home service clients, ensuring no data loss during high-volume periods like winter pipe bursts. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with full testing to match your workflow.
What's the ROI timeline for invoice automation in plumbing?
Most plumbing businesses see a 200-400% ROI in the first 3 months. By automating post-job invoicing, you save 10-15 hours weekly—time your team can redirect to revenue-generating calls. Industry stats show manual billing costs services $50K+ annually in lost productivity; our system recovers that through faster payments (70% collected in 7 days vs. 30). For example, a mid-sized plumber reduced disputes by 95%, adding $20K in recovered revenue quarterly. We provide custom projections based on your job volume and billing cycles.
Can it handle variable pricing for emergency plumbing services?
Is the system secure for sensitive client data like home addresses?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable for field services. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like SOC 2, ensuring job sites and invoice details stay protected. Unlike cloud-only tools, our owned systems let you control access, with role-based permissions for plumbers vs. office staff. In one deployment for a plumbing network, we added audit logs that tracked every access, preventing breaches during shared device use on job trucks. Regular updates keep it ahead of threats, giving you peace of mind while handling client trust.
How customizable is it for my specific plumbing workflows?
Fully custom— we design it around your operations, like auto-applying overtime rates for after-hours leaks or bundling fixture installs with parts markups. No cookie-cutter templates here; we start with a workflow audit to capture nuances, such as seasonal surcharges for frozen pipes. A recent client, a 20-person plumbing outfit, had us build in GPS-tied invoicing for travel reimbursements. This level of tailoring boosts efficiency by 80%, far beyond generic software that forces you to adapt.
What if my team resists new tech during busy seasons?
We make adoption seamless with hands-on training tailored to plumbers' schedules—short sessions on mobile devices, focusing on simple actions like photo uploads. For one firm facing winter rushes, we piloted with two trucks, showing immediate time savings that won over the crew. Ongoing support includes a dedicated liaison for tweaks, and our intuitive UI feels like an extension of their current apps. Result? 95% adoption in under a month, with teams praising the reduced end-of-day hassle.
