Why Choose Us
Imagine your team's knowledge—like detailed laminate care instructions or hardwood acclimation protocols—no longer buried in filing cabinets or email threads. We craft a custom AI-powered knowledge base that ingests your existing docs, emails, and job logs, then organizes them into an intelligent, searchable system. Short queries? Answered in seconds. Complex scenarios, like matching subfloor prep to vinyl plank types? Handled with precision. This isn't off-the-shelf software. It's a tailored asset, integrated with your CRM and scheduling tools, ensuring every installer accesses the right info at the right moment. We've helped flooring firms reduce knowledge gaps by 80%, freeing supervisors to focus on growth, not firefighting.
What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Time Savings and ROI for Your Bottom Line
Slash Weekly Admin Time by 20+ Hours
Slash Weekly Admin Time by 20+ Hours: No more digging through binders for grout mixing ratios or hardwood pattern layouts during installs. Our system delivers instant results, saving your lead installers 5 hours per week on lookups alone—equivalent to avoiding 10 delayed tile jobs annually. That's 260 hours yearly, time redirected to completing two extra flooring projects, boosting revenue without added headcount.
Drive 300% ROI Through Efficiency Gains
Drive 300% ROI Through Efficiency Gains: Flooring businesses see a rapid payback within 4-6 months: our clients report cutting rework costs by 40% after eliminating errors from forgotten client stain preferences on oak hardwood jobs. With enterprise-grade automation, your investment pays off through faster turnarounds on laminate installs and happier repeat customers, adding $50K+ in annual revenue from upsells.
Enhance Productivity with On-Demand Expertise
Enhance Productivity with On-Demand Expertise: Like having a veteran flooring consultant in your pocket, the AI pulls up warranty details for LVT products or tool calibration guides for floor sanders instantly. Teams complete installs 25% quicker, reducing overtime on carpet transitions and allowing you to scale from 15 to 25 jobs monthly without proportional staff increases, freeing capacity for seasonal rushes.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our guys were always calling me mid-job about thinset adhesive types or cement board underlayment specs—it was total chaos on those 5,000 sq ft commercial tile projects. Now, the knowledge base handles it all seamlessly. We saved about 15 hours a week across the team, and our error rate dropped from 12% to under 3% last quarter, letting us take on two more hospital contracts without overtime spikes."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Precision Tile & Flooring Inc., serving commercial and residential installs in the Midwest
"I run a small crew doing mostly engineered hardwood refurbs in suburban homes, and training new hires was a nightmare with our notes scattered across emails and folders. Their custom system organized everything from polyurethane finish schedules to subfloor moisture testing protocols for reclaimed wood jobs. It's cut our onboarding from two weeks to three days, and we've picked up four more kitchen remodel contracts this year without extra hires, growing revenue by 25%."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Elite Hardwood Restoration Services, specializing in eco-friendly refurbs
"Dealing with luxury vinyl plank (LVP) color variations nearly cost us a major retail client due to mismatched edge-lock samples on a 10,000 sq ft store rollout. The AI knowledge base now cross-references our inventory with client history and supplier catalogs flawlessly. We're down to zero mix-ups in six months, and post-install follow-ups for warranty claims are automated—freed up my afternoons for bidding on three bigger big-box store installs this quarter."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this knowledge base handle the variety of flooring materials we work with?
Our custom AI is trained on your specific inventory—from hardwoods to luxury vinyls—learning nuances like different expansion gaps or finish compatibilities. It ingests your material catalogs and job histories to create tailored indexes. For instance, searching 'best underlay for bamboo in humid climates' pulls precise recommendations, including supplier links and past install notes. This specificity reduces guesswork, saving your team 10-15 minutes per query. We've fine-tuned it for flooring contractors, ensuring it adapts as you add new lines like LVT or cork, without generic mismatches that plague off-the-shelf tools.
What if our team isn't tech-savvy—will they actually use it on job sites?
Absolutely, we design for real-world use. The interface is simple: type or speak a question like 'how to level for porcelain tile,' and get step-by-step guidance with photos from your past jobs. No steep learning curve—our onboarding includes 1-hour sessions tailored to installers, focusing on voice commands for gloved hands. One client, a 20-person flooring outfit, saw 90% adoption in week one because it mirrors how they already talk about work. Plus, it's mobile-first, working on rugged tablets even in dusty warehouses, boosting on-site efficiency without frustrating your crew.
How secure is the data in this system, especially client-specific details?
Security is paramount in home services, where client privacy and job warranties are critical. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data, with role-based permissions so only authorized eyes see sensitive info like custom color matches or address histories. Compliance with standards like GDPR and CCPA is built-in, and we conduct regular audits. For flooring pros, this means protected records of high-value installs, preventing leaks that could lead to disputes. Your data stays in a private cloud you control—no shared servers. Clients report peace of mind, with one noting it helped them win a large commercial bid by demonstrating robust data handling.
Can it integrate with our current tools like QuickBooks or scheduling software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations that create a single source of truth. For example, link your knowledge base to QuickBooks for auto-pulling invoice-linked specs, or to ServiceTitan for embedding install guidelines directly in job tickets. This eliminates double-entry—say goodbye to retyping supplier details. Our engineers map your exact workflow, ensuring seamless flow from quote to completion. A mid-sized flooring contractor we worked with integrated it with their app in two weeks, cutting data errors by 50% and saving 8 hours weekly on admin. It's custom, not plug-and-play, so it fits your setup perfectly.
What's the timeline and cost for implementing this for a small flooring business?
For a team of 5-15 like most small flooring operations, we deliver a fully functional system in 4-6 weeks, starting with a free consultation to scope your needs. Pricing is custom, based on complexity—typically $15K-$30K for build and integration, with ROI hitting in 3 months via time savings (e.g., 20 hours/week at $50/hour = $4K monthly value). No subscriptions; you own it outright. We include 3 months of support to refine based on real usage, like optimizing for seasonal laminate queries. Many clients start small, automating just training docs first, then expand—proving value quickly without big upfront risks.
How does it update with new industry standards or supplier changes?
The AI actively learns and adapts. We set up automated feeds from your key suppliers (e.g., Shaw or Mohawk catalogs) to ingest updates on new products like waterproof cores or eco-friendly adhesives. For standards, it monitors flooring association guidelines and flags changes, like updated VOC limits, notifying your team via dashboard alerts. Manual uploads are easy too—snap a photo of a new spec sheet, and it's indexed in minutes. This keeps your knowledge fresh, preventing costly errors like using outdated installation methods. One contractor avoided a $5K rework by catching a sealant update early, turning potential loss into a efficiency win.
