What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our leads from contractor meets on-site for structural steel framing were piling up in notebooks, and we'd lose track half the time. Now, the system auto-sorts them by project scale and material needs, and we've landed two major fabrication jobs worth $50K in the last quarter alone—saved us about 12 hours a week on follow-ups during peak build season."

Mike Harlan

Shop Foreman, Harlan Steel Fabricators Inc.

"I was skeptical, but this automation fits our workflow like a perfectly aligned CNC router bit. It pulls in inquiries from our job sites and scores them based on aluminum extrusion requests, helping us prioritize high-value leads. Closed a $15K custom enclosure order we almost missed after a trade show—ROI was immediate, with payback in under a month."

Sarah Kline

Operations Manager, Kline Metalworks Fabrication

"Manual tracking was killing our small team's bandwidth during the summer rush for custom concrete forms. Their custom setup integrates with our inventory system for aggregate sourcing, nurturing leads without us lifting a finger. We've seen a 25% uptick in conversions over six months, landing three repeat contracts for precast elements—no exaggeration."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Workflow Mapping

We start by shadowing your shop's lead process— from initial supplier chats to quote handoffs— to understand your unique pain points and build a plan tailored just for you.

Step 2

Custom AI System Design and Build

Our engineers craft your automation from the ground up, integrating AI for lead scoring and nurturing sequences that align with woodworking project cycles, ensuring seamless fit without off-the-shelf limitations.

Step 3

Testing, Launch, and Optimization

We test rigorously in your environment, launch with minimal disruption, and refine based on real shop data—delivering ongoing tweaks for peak performance and your full ownership.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch with advanced code, not no-code hacks, so your system scales with your shop's growth like a sturdy timber frame—avoiding the brittle breaks of assembled tools.

True ownership means no endless subscriptions; we hand you a unified asset that evolves, unlike agencies chaining you to rented platforms that nickel-and-dime your ROI.

Deep integrations with manufacturing-specific tools like CAD software and inventory systems create a single truth source, eliminating the data silos that plague disconnected workflows.

Field-tested in real workshops, our solutions prioritize practical ROI over flashy features, ensuring quick wins like faster bid turnarounds without overwhelming your team.

We're engineers who’ve battled subscription chaos ourselves, so we focus on robust, production-ready automations that handle the grit of daily ops, not just the hype.

Custom UIs designed for shop floors mean intuitive dashboards accessible mid-shift, unlike generic interfaces that require desk-bound training.

Two-way API connections ensure leads flow bidirectionally with your project trackers, preventing the one-way data traps of superficial integrations.

We emphasize quantifiable outcomes, like hours saved on lead chases, backed by our own SaaS builds that prove we deliver scalable power.

No vendor lock-in: you own the code, adapting it as your business pivots from custom pieces to larger contracts, free from platform whims.

Holistic approach combines lead management with your broader ops, creating an integrated digital backbone that boosts overall efficiency, not isolated fixes.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle leads from trade shows specific to woodworking?

We customize the system to scan and import business cards or digital forms right from events like the International Woodworking Fair. It auto-tags leads by interest—say, custom joinery or sustainable sourcing—and prioritizes based on booth interactions. No more manual entry that takes hours post-event. In one shop we worked with, this cut follow-up time from two days to under an hour, helping them secure three new supplier partnerships in a single quarter. It's all built around your workflow, ensuring leads flow directly into your project pipeline without missing a beat.

What's the ROI timeline for implementing this in a small woodworking shop?

Most clients see payback within 3-6 months. For a typical 20-person shop, you're looking at 15 hours saved weekly on manual tracking, translating to about $5,000 in reclaimed labor costs per month at standard rates. Add in 25-40% higher conversion from better prioritization, and that's real revenue lift. We base this on field-tested deployments where shops like yours turned initial setup into immediate wins, without the ongoing fees of multiple tools. Let's chat about your numbers—we'll model it specifically for your operation.

Can it integrate with our existing CNC and inventory software?

Absolutely. We engineer deep, two-way integrations with tools like Cabinet Vision or your inventory trackers, so leads mentioning specific woods auto-check stock levels and flag opportunities. This isn't superficial syncing; it's custom code ensuring data moves fluidly, like pulling lead specs into production schedules. One client integrated it with their ERP in weeks, reducing quote errors by 50% and speeding up custom order fulfillment. We map your exact stack during discovery to avoid any disruptions.

How secure is the system for sensitive client project details?

Security is non-negotiable in manufacturing, especially with proprietary designs. We build with end-to-end encryption, role-based access, and compliance to standards like GDPR or industry-specific regs. Data stays in your controlled environment—no cloud dependencies unless you choose. For a woodworking firm we partnered with, this meant secure handling of architect blueprints in leads, preventing any leaks during the bidding process. We audit everything and provide full ownership, so you're never at the mercy of a third-party breach.

What if our lead volume fluctuates with seasonal projects?

Our systems are designed to scale effortlessly, handling spikes from summer construction booms without performance dips. The AI adapts by ramping up automation during peaks, like auto-scheduling calls for high-volume referral leads. A seasonal cabinet maker we built for saw seamless handling of double their usual inquiries during holiday rushes, maintaining 95% follow-up rates. We include optimization sessions post-launch to fine-tune for your cycles, ensuring consistent efficiency year-round.

Do I need technical staff to maintain this after launch?

No, that's the beauty of our approach. We deliver a user-friendly system with intuitive interfaces, so your shop manager can handle day-to-day without coding knowledge. For tweaks, we provide documentation and optional support, but true ownership means it's yours to run—like owning your best router instead of renting. Clients report minimal upkeep, with one team managing updates in under an hour monthly, focusing more on crafting than configuring.
