Why Choose Us

Let's be honest, one-size-fits-all invoice software feels like trying to fit a couture dress on every customer—it just doesn't work for your boutique's unique rhythm. At AIQ Labs, we build custom AI-powered solutions from the ground up, tailored to your exact needs. Whether it's capturing invoices from pop-up event vendors or syncing payments with your e-commerce platform during Black Friday rushes, our system integrates deeply with your POS, inventory tools, and accounting software. You're probably thinking, 'But I don't want another subscription headache.' Here's the thing: we create a unified, owned asset that evolves with your trends, eliminating the limitations of rented templates.

What Makes Us Different:

AI that intelligently extracts data from varied invoice formats, like those quirky artisan supplier PDFs

Automated workflows that route approvals based on your store's hierarchy, speeding up decisions during peak times

Seamless integration with your retail stack for real-time payment scheduling, keeping cash flow steady for restocking hot items

Unlock Efficiency That Fits Your Retail Rhythm

Reclaim Hours for Customer-Focused Tasks

Reclaim Hours for Customer-Focused Tasks: No more back-office drudgery. Our custom system automates 80% of invoice handling for platforms like Etsy and WooCommerce, freeing your team to curate visual merchandising displays or assist in omnichannel shopper journeys. Picture this: during a viral TikTok-driven summer accessory surge, your staff isn't buried in paperwork but engaging customers via live chats or in-store styling sessions—increasing repeat visits and sales by up to 25% in peak seasons.

Optimize Cash Flow for Seasonal Wins

Optimize Cash Flow for Seasonal Wins: Catch every early payment discount from suppliers without the hassle. Tailored AI forecasts your outflows based on real-time sales trends from tools like Google Analytics, ensuring liquidity for timely inventory turns on high-demand items like holiday gift sets. Boutiques using our solution report saving $15K annually on discounts alone, turning potential losses into reinvestable gains for that next big drop, such as Q4 festive apparel lines.

Error-Free Processing for Peace of Mind

Error-Free Processing for Peace of Mind: Generic tools miss the nuances of retail invoices, like partial shipments or size/color variants from trend-responsive vendors in apparel drops. Our built-for-you AI matches data accurately across SKUs and barcodes, reducing errors by 95%. This means fewer chargebacks from returns, faster reconciliation for pop-up events, and more time focusing on what you love: curating collections that resonate with your customers via personalized email campaigns.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our small team was swamped manually entering invoices from holiday pop-up vendors like seasonal jewelry suppliers—it took days and we missed 2% early discounts on winter knits. Now, their custom system automates it all, saving us about 15 hours a week during November rushes. Cash flow's smoother, and we're actually ahead on payments for next-season inventory."

Elena Vasquez

Owner, Thread & Bloom Boutique (specializing in sustainable women's apparel)

"As an online boutique, syncing e-commerce invoices from Shopify with our Square POS was a nightmare during flash sales events—we'd lose track of returns and variants. AIQ built something that just works for us: extracts data flawlessly, handles multi-channel integrations, and flags discrepancies. We've cut processing time from a week to just 4 hours per event, and our accountant loves the 99% accuracy on SKU-level matching."

Marcus Lee

Operations Manager, Urban Threads E-Shop (urban streetwear via online and pop-ups)

"Trend changes in athleisure meant new suppliers with quirky invoice layouts for custom prints, and our old software couldn't keep up—leading to mismatched POs and delayed styling shoots. The AIQ solution is a game-changer; it's like having an extra staffer who never sleeps, adapting to PDF variations on the fly. Last quarter, we saved $8K in late fees and got back to planning Instagram drops two days faster."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Mapping

We dive into your boutique's workflow— from vendor emails to POS integrations— to understand pain points like seasonal invoice spikes. This ensures our solution fits your exact needs, not some template.

Step 2

Custom AI Build and Integration

Our engineers craft the AI from scratch, training it on your real invoices for accurate extraction and automation. We connect it seamlessly to your tools, testing during a low-season period to iron out kinks.

Step 3

Launch, Train, and Optimize

We roll it out with hands-on training for your team, then monitor performance. As trends shift, we tweak the system— ensuring it scales with your business, like handling double the volume during holidays.

Why We're Different

We build from the ground up with custom code, not assemble no-code band-aids, so your invoice system truly owns and adapts to your boutique's seasonal ebbs and flows without breaking.

Unlike agencies reliant on fragile third-party APIs, we create deep, two-way integrations that prevent disruptions during peak retail rushes, giving you reliable control.

Our solutions emphasize true ownership—you're not locked into endless subscriptions; instead, you have a scalable asset that grows with your e-commerce expansion.

We focus on retail-specific AI models that understand nuances like variable supplier terms, avoiding the generic pitfalls that leave boutiques vulnerable to errors.

Born from our own subscription frustrations, we prioritize unified systems over disconnected tools, eliminating the chaos of juggling invoice apps with your POS.

Our production-ready apps handle real-world volumes, like Black Friday surges, where off-the-shelf options crumble under pressure.

We deliver bespoke UIs tailored to your workflow, so approving invoices feels intuitive, not like wrestling with clunky dashboards.

Deep expertise in retail trends means our automations evolve with market shifts, keeping your cash flow optimized year-round.

No superficial connections here—our systems create a single source of truth, reducing manual checks that plague multi-channel boutiques.

We empower your team with actionable insights, turning invoice data into forecasts for inventory buys, far beyond basic processing.

Common Questions

How does this handle the irregular invoices from small artisan suppliers?

You're probably thinking about those quirky PDFs from local makers with non-standard layouts. Our custom AI is trained specifically on your invoice history, using advanced OCR and pattern recognition to extract details like custom pricing or partial shipments accurately. We've seen boutiques reduce extraction errors from 30% to under 2%, even with seasonal suppliers changing formats. It's all built into your system, integrating directly with your inventory to match against orders—no more manual tweaks during busy periods.

Will this integrate with my existing POS and e-commerce platforms?

Absolutely, and that's where we shine. Unlike generic tools that offer shallow plugs, we create deep, custom integrations with platforms like Lightspeed, Shopify, or WooCommerce. For instance, invoices from online orders auto-populate in your POS for in-store verification, eliminating double-entry. One boutique client synced their systems in under two weeks, cutting reconciliation time by 60%. We map it all to your workflow, ensuring payments align with sales data for better cash forecasting.

What about security for sensitive financial data in my boutique?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with customer payment details intertwined. Our solutions use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and comply with standards like PCI DSS and GDPR. Data stays within your owned system, not scattered across vendors. We include audit logs for every action, so you can track approvals or changes instantly. A recent client in fashion retail praised how this setup passed their audit effortlessly, giving peace of mind during high-volume seasons without exposing your operations.

How long does it take to see results after implementation?

Let's be honest, you want quick wins without disrupting your store. Most boutiques see 50-70% time savings within the first month post-launch, once your team is trained (which we handle in a day or two). For example, during setup, we prioritize high-impact areas like holiday invoice batches. Full ROI, including discount captures, often hits within 3-6 months, with one client reporting $10K in savings by Q2. It's flexible— we start small and scale as your needs evolve.

Can this scale if my boutique grows into more locations or channels?

Yes, our custom-built approach is designed for growth, not limits. Whether you're adding a second store or expanding e-commerce to marketplaces like Etsy, the system scales seamlessly with modular AI that adapts to new data flows. We've helped a growing chain handle triple the invoice volume without added staff, maintaining 95% automation rates. It's not rigid; we build in flexibility for trends, like integrating new payment gateways, ensuring your AP keeps pace with your boutique's ambitions.

What's the difference from off-the-shelf invoice software?

Here's the thing: off-the-shelf options are like generic sizing in fast fashion—they fit okay but chafe in the details of your boutique life. Our solution is custom-stitched: it learns your specific vendor quirks, seasonal patterns, and integrations, avoiding the customization fees and limitations that plague templates. Clients switch to us after hitting walls with tools like Bill.com, gaining full ownership and 40% faster processing tailored to retail realities, without ongoing subscription traps.
