The "Data Blindspot" Problem
Repair jobs dragging on due to invisible bottlenecks in workflow tracking, such as unmonitored frame straightening or dent pulling sequences
Parts inventory mismatches causing delays in collision repairs and frame alignments, like shortages of OEM bumpers or alignment shims during peak accident seasons
Labor hours slipping away without clear visibility into technician productivity on tasks like MIG welding or panel sanding
Customer wait times ballooning from siloed data between estimating and scheduling for services like paint matching or wheel alignments
Profit margins eroding due to untracked variances in paint and material costs, such as overspray waste or primer inconsistencies in bodywork
Seasonal surges overwhelming shops without predictive KPI forecasts for dent repairs, like hail damage influxes requiring mass PDR (paintless dent repair) scheduling
Custom-Built KPI Tracking: Your Command Center for Auto Body Efficiency
With over a decade in automotive AI integrations, we've empowered 200+ shops to turn raw data into repair-ready decisions
Why Choose Us
Imagine your shop floor as a high-performance engine, but without the right gauges, you're guessing on RPMs. Our KPI Tracking Platform for Auto Body Shops builds enterprise-grade dashboards that pull data from QuickBooks, Shop-Ware, and inventory trackers into one unified view. No more flying blind through hail damage seasons or fender-bender rushes. We craft real-time visualizations of cycle times, from initial dent assessment to final buff-out, ensuring every wrench turn counts toward profitability. Scalable architecture means it grows with your bay expansions, handling 50 to 500 jobs without a hitch.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency: Proven Gains for Your Shop
Accelerate Repair Turnaround
Accelerate Repair Turnaround: Shops using our dashboards report <span class="gradient">35% faster cycle times</span> by spotting delays in paint drying or OEM part arrivals early—such as flagging a delayed frame rail delivery—turning one-week collision jobs into three-day wins and keeping customers coming back for repeat services.
Optimize Labor and Parts Allocation
Optimize Labor and Parts Allocation: Track technician hours against job estimates in real time for tasks like chassis alignment, reducing overtime by up to 22% while ensuring parts like body fillers or fender panels aren't overstocked, directly boosting your bottom line in high-volume collision work over quarterly cycles.
Enhance Customer Satisfaction and Retention
Enhance Customer Satisfaction and Retention: Provide transparent updates on repair progress via integrated client portals, such as ETA notifications for clear coat curing, cutting complaints by 40% and increasing repeat business for follow-up alignments or rust treatments within 6 months.
What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in spreadsheets tracking frame straightener times and MIG welding logs—took hours every shift. Now, the dashboard shows us exactly where bottlenecks hit, like delayed unibody alignments during that busy winter storm season with ice-related collisions. Cut our average repair time from 5 days to 3, and revenue jumped 18% last quarter alone.""
Mike Rivera
Shop Manager, Precision Auto Body in Denver, CO
""Integrating our parts inventory with the KPI tracker was a game-changer. No more guessing on bumper stock levels or headlight assemblies mid-rush; it flags low inventory before we're short on high-demand items like fender flares. Saved us $12K in emergency orders last year, and the team loves the mobile alerts for on-the-floor updates during peak hail repair surges.""
Sarah Chen
Operations Lead, Elite Collision Center in Atlanta, GA
""As a growing shop with three bays handling everything from dent repairs to full frame-offs, scaling data visibility was tough. Their platform handled our jump from 40 to 80 jobs a month without missing a beat, even during summer fleet service rushes. Labor efficiency metrics on tasks like rustproofing helped us hire smarter, reducing idle time by 25% in just two months and improving bay utilization.""

Simple 3-Step Process
Discovery and Mapping
We audit your current systems, from repair estimating software to parts logs, identifying key KPIs like cycle time and material waste to build a tailored blueprint.
Custom Build and Integration
Our engineers construct your dashboard with real-time feeds, testing against live data from a sample repair job to ensure accuracy in tracking dent pulls and paint applications.
Deployment and Optimization
Roll out the platform shop-wide, with training on interpreting metrics, then refine based on initial usage—like adjusting alerts for peak hail repair periods.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the KPI platform integrate with my existing auto body shop software?
We start by mapping your tools—like Shop-Ware for estimates, Mitchell for parts, or QuickBooks for invoicing—then build secure, two-way API connections. This creates a single dashboard pulling live data without manual uploads. For a typical three-bay shop, integration takes 2-4 weeks, tested rigorously to handle peak loads like 50 daily jobs. No disruptions to your workflow; we shadow your systems during setup to ensure accuracy in metrics like paint booth utilization.
What specific KPIs does it track for auto body repairs?
Tailored to your operations, it monitors essentials like average repair cycle time (target under 72 hours), labor efficiency (hours billed vs. estimated), parts consumption rates for items like fenders and adhesives, customer turnaround satisfaction scores, and profitability per job type—collision vs. cosmetic. We include automotive benchmarks, such as industry averages of 4.2 days per repair, to benchmark your performance and flag outliers, like delays in welding queues.
Is the platform scalable as my shop grows from 2 to 10 bays?
Absolutely, our enterprise-grade architecture supports unlimited scaling without performance dips. We've helped shops double bays while maintaining sub-second dashboard refreshes. It auto-adjusts for increased data volume, from 100 monthly jobs to thousands, with modular expansions for multi-location syncing. No need for costly overhauls; it's designed for growth, incorporating features like centralized inventory views across sites.
How secure is the data for sensitive repair and customer information?
Security is paramount in automotive, where client vehicles and insurance details are involved. We use AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with GDPR and CCPA standards. Role-based access ensures technicians see only job-specific metrics, while owners get full oversight. Regular audits and SOC 2 certification mean your paint formula logs or VIN-specific repairs stay protected, with breach detection alerting you instantly.
Can we customize the dashboard for our unique repair specialties?
Yes, every dashboard is bespoke. If you specialize in classic car restorations or EV battery housing repairs, we incorporate those KPIs—like vintage parts sourcing delays or high-voltage safety metrics. During discovery, we collaborate to define views, such as a widget for rust repair progress or frame machine utilization. This results in a tool that feels native to your shop, delivering insights that drive efficiency in your niche.
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
Post-deployment, you get dedicated support including monthly check-ins for the first quarter to optimize metrics, like refining alerts for seasonal hail damage influxes. Our team handles updates for new software versions or regulatory changes in auto body standards. Unlimited access to a specialist via Slack or phone ensures quick resolutions, and we offer annual tune-ups to evolve the dashboard with your expanding services, keeping it a core asset.
