The "Invoice Overload" Problem
Manual data entry from crumpled repair invoices for RV chassis alignments and suspension repairs delays billing by 2-3 days per job
Tracking multi-stage approvals for high-cost RV appliance parts, such as propane systems and generators, eats into shop downtime during off-season maintenance
Discrepancies between scanned service tickets for RV leveling jacks and accounting software cause payment disputes with RV owners over labor charges
Seasonal surges in RV tune-up invoices for pre-travel inspections overwhelm back-office staff during peak summer and fall months
Lost paper trails for warranty-covered RV electrical work, including battery isolators and inverter installations, lead to costly reprocessing and manufacturer audits
Integrating subcontractor invoices for RV bodywork extensions, such as slide-out mechanism repairs, fragments your cash flow visibility across fleet services

Cut Errors by 95% in Billing Accuracy
Cut Errors by 95% in Billing Accuracy: Typos in labor hours for RV brake calibrations or parts SKUs for tire pressure systems lead to disputes and rework. AI cross-verifies against your repair logs and OEM databases, catching issues before they hit accounting. Result? Zero payment rejections in pilot programs, saving 10-15 hours monthly on corrections for 50+ jobs. This precision builds trust with RV clients, much like a flawless alignment job prevents future breakdowns on long hauls.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we'd spend Fridays just matching invoices to our RV awning repair tickets from hydraulic motor jobs—total headache with all the handwritten mileage logs. Now, it's all handled overnight via OCR scanning, and we've cut our processing time from 20 hours to under 3 per week. Cash flow's steadier for parts ordering, and the team's actually getting home on time without overtime during spring prep season."
Mike Harlan
Service Manager, Horizon RV Center in Phoenix, AZ
"Integrated this with our QuickBooks setup last quarter, and it's a game-changer for handling seasonal RV winterization invoices, including antifreeze flushes and battery checks. No more lost docs during busy periods with 200+ units, and approvals for parts suppliers like for furnace repairs happen in real-time. Saved us about $4,200 in overtime last month alone, letting us take on 15% more jobs."
Sara Lopez
Owner, Trailblazer RV Service & Collision in Denver, CO
"We were drowning in paper from electrical upgrade jobs like solar panel integrations and LED lighting retrofits. AIQ built something that scans and categorizes everything perfectly, even the handwritten notes on wiring diagrams. Month-end close went from a week to two days for our 40-job backlog—finally, we can focus on growing the business instead of chasing warranty claims on alternator failures."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the varied invoice formats from different RV parts suppliers?
Our custom AI is trained on diverse automotive invoice types, including those from RV-specific vendors like Winnebago suppliers or aftermarket chassis providers. Using advanced OCR and machine learning, it extracts key details—VINs, labor codes, part numbers—regardless of format, whether PDF, email attachments, or scans. We've fine-tuned it for common issues like faded prints from oily shop environments. In practice, accuracy hits 98% on first pass, with auto-flagging for manual review. This setup integrates directly into your workflow, reducing entry errors that plague manual processes in busy RV shops. Deployment includes a tuning phase with your sample invoices to ensure it fits your exact ecosystem, delivering seamless efficiency without disrupting daily operations.
What kind of time savings can an RV repair shop expect from this service?
Based on our work with similar automotive SMBs, shops typically save 10-15 hours weekly on invoice tasks alone. For an RV repair operation handling 50-100 jobs monthly, that's shifting from hours of data entry and approvals to automated processing that runs in the background. One client, a mid-sized shop, reduced their month-end close from 10 days to 2, freeing staff for revenue-generating repairs. ROI kicks in fast: at $50/hour labor cost, that's $2,000+ monthly savings, plus faster cash inflows from quicker billing. We benchmark against industry standards like NADA reports, where manual AP costs eat 20% of admin budgets—our solution cuts that dramatically, tailored to your volume and seasonal peaks.
Is this solution secure for handling sensitive RV owner and warranty data?
Security is paramount in automotive invoicing, especially with warranty details and customer financials. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like SOC 2 and GDPR, ensuring data at rest and in transit is protected. Access controls mirror your shop's hierarchy—technicians see only relevant approvals, while managers get full oversight. Unlike cloud-only tools, our owned systems avoid third-party vulnerabilities, with regular audits baked in. For RV shops, this means safe handling of VIN-linked invoices without risking breaches that could void warranties. We've deployed this in regulated environments, achieving zero incidents, and include features like audit logs for easy compliance checks during insurer reviews.
How do you customize this for our specific RV repair workflows?
Customization starts with a deep dive into your operations—we map everything from intake at the service bay to final payment, incorporating RV-unique elements like multi-phase repairs for slide-outs or plumbing. No templates here; we code AI models that learn from your historical data, such as common parts from suppliers like Lippert Components. Integration points are tailored, e.g., pulling labor hours directly from your repair software. The result is a system that automates 90% of your process while flagging edge cases, like custom RV mods. Post-launch, we iterate based on your feedback, ensuring it scales with growth—think handling double volume during summer without added headcount. This builder approach means it's yours, not a rented box.
What if we already use accounting software—will it integrate?
Absolutely, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular tools like QuickBooks, Xero, or even custom shop management systems like Mitchell or ALLDATA. For RV repairs, this means auto-populating invoices with pulled data—parts costs, technician notes—without duplicate entry. Our APIs handle bidirectional sync, updating ledgers in real-time as approvals clear. We've connected to over 20 accounting platforms in automotive contexts, resolving common pain points like mismatched categories for RV-specific expenses. Setup involves a one-time mapping session, and it runs silently thereafter. Clients report 80% fewer sync errors, streamlining everything from vendor payments to tax prep. If your setup is unique, we build custom bridges to ensure zero friction.
How long does it take to see ROI after implementation?
Most RV repair shops see positive ROI within the first month, with full payback in 3-6 months. Take a typical 20-employee shop: automating invoice processing saves $3,000-$6,000 monthly in labor and error costs, based on industry benchmarks from the RVIA. Upfront build is 4-6 weeks, including testing on your live data to avoid disruptions. Early wins include immediate time savings on approvals, leading to faster payments and better supplier terms. Long-term, it boosts productivity by 25-40%, as teams focus on high-value tasks like complex RV diagnostics. We track metrics like hours saved and cash cycle speed from day one, adjusting as needed to hit your targets—proven in deployments where shops doubled efficiency without added staff.
