What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, I was buried in invoices every month-end for our tap shoe suppliers and recital venue rentals, missing out on planning our spring ballet recital. Now, the system auto-pulls data from our vendor emails and approves routine payments in under an hour. We've saved about 10 hours a week over the last three months, and our cash flow is so much smoother—no more late fees on studio rent, letting us focus on dancer wellness programs."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Rhythm Dance Academy (a boutique studio specializing in ballet and tap for all ages)
"As a small studio, juggling instructor payouts for our hip-hop classes and costume bills for end-of-year showcases was killing our vibe. Their custom automation integrated with our scheduling app perfectly, handling everything from freelance payroll to vendor matching. Last quarter, we cut AP errors by half and reclaimed Fridays for team training on new Zumba routines. It's been a game-changer for keeping our dancers happy, enrolled, and coming back for summer wellness camps."
Jamal Carter
Studio Director, Urban Groove Studios (urban fitness hub offering hip-hop and Zumba for youth and adults)
"I was skeptical at first, but after implementation, processing 50+ monthly invoices for Pilates equipment and guest instructor fees dropped from two days to a quick dashboard check in just 10 minutes. We've redirected those hours to member outreach like personalized wellness check-ins, seeing a 15% uptick in retention over the past four months. The ROI hit within two months—totally worth it for our contemporary dance and mindfulness focus."
Elena Vasquez
Manager, Flow Arts Dance Collective (wellness-oriented studio blending contemporary dance with yoga and meditation)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable fees from guest choreographers?
Great question—dance studios often deal with fluctuating costs like one-off workshops. Our AI is trained on your historical data to recognize patterns in these invoices, extracting details like session hours and rates automatically. It then routes for approval based on your rules, say, over $500 needs owner sign-off. We've seen studios reduce processing time for these from 2 hours to 10 minutes per invoice. Plus, it integrates with your scheduling software to cross-check against actual class bookings, minimizing errors. It's all custom-built, so we fine-tune it during setup to match your exact fee structures, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks during busy seasons.
What if our invoices come from multiple sources, like international vendors for dancewear?
No problem at all; that's a common headache for global-minded studios. The system ingests from anywhere—email attachments, supplier portals, even scanned paper from pop-up events. AI handles multi-currency conversions and categorizes items specific to your needs, like separating ballet slippers from hip-hop apparel. For instance, it flags international shipping fees for quick review. Setup includes mapping your sources, and post-launch, we optimize for accuracy. One client cut their international AP time by 60%, avoiding currency mishaps that once cost them hundreds. It's designed to unify everything into your dashboard, giving you a clear view without the manual hassle.
Will this integrate with our existing studio software like Mindbody?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty. We build deep, two-way connections with tools like Mindbody, Jackrabbit, or even custom CRMs used in wellness. For example, invoice data flows directly into your accounting module, updating vendor records tied to class revenues. No more double-entry that pulls staff from front-desk duties. During discovery, we assess your setup and code the links securely. Studios report seamless syncing that saves 8-10 hours weekly. If your software changes, our owned system adapts without vendor lock-in, keeping your operations fluid as you scale.
How secure is the system for sensitive payment info?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with member dues and vendor contracts in play. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like GDPR and PCI-DSS. Access is role-based—only approved users see approvals—so your instructors can't accidentally view full financials. We include audit logs tracking every action, perfect for year-end reviews. In one rollout, a studio avoided a compliance scare by having everything documented automatically. It's all hosted on secure, scalable cloud infrastructure we configure just for you, with regular updates to stay ahead of threats. Peace of mind, so you focus on the dance floor.
What's the timeline and cost for implementation?
Timelines vary by complexity, but for most dance studios, we complete discovery in week one, build and test in weeks 2-4, and launch by month two. It's phased to minimize disruption—no big bang that halts classes. Costs start around $15K for a core setup, scaling based on custom needs like multi-location support, with ROI hitting in 3-6 months via time savings. Unlike subscriptions, you own it outright after. We provide a detailed quote post-consult, factoring your volume—say, 100 invoices monthly. Clients love the transparency; one saw full payback after automating their recital season billing, freeing budget for new mirrors.
Can we start small and expand later?
Yes, that's smart planning for growing studios. We often begin with core invoice capture and approvals, then layer on features like predictive cash flow for tuition cycles. It's modular by design, so adding integrations for event ticketing or payroll is straightforward. For example, a client started with basic AP and expanded to vendor performance analytics six months in, boosting efficiency further. Our architecture ensures scalability without rework. During your free consult, we'll outline a phased roadmap tailored to your goals, like prepping for franchise growth. It's flexible, owned, and built to evolve with your studio's rhythm.
