Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, you're probably thinking your marketing needs are too unique for off-the-shelf tools. That's where we shine. At AIQ Labs, we build marketing automation from the ground up, tailored to your workflows. No more juggling Zapier hacks or pricey subscriptions that break during peak production. We connect your systems—like pulling real-time inventory data into personalized supplier outreach or automating bid follow-ups based on project timelines. Here's the thing: this isn't a template. It's a unified AI engine owned by you, slashing manual work and amplifying ROI through smart, industry-specific automations. Think of it like upgrading from hand-forged tools to a CNC machine—precise, efficient, and built to last.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains That Hit Your Bottom Line
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Production Tasks
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Core Production Tasks: Manual marketing—like drafting RFQs for every steel supplier quote or updating leads from CONEXPO scans—eats into your floor time. Our automation handles it, routing qualified concrete pour inquiries directly to your project managers. Result? Your estimators spend less time at desks and more on-site inspections, boosting on-time project completion by 30% while cutting overtime costs on crane operations.
Achieve 4x ROI Through Smarter Lead Conversion
Achieve 4x ROI Through Smarter Lead Conversion: In manufacturing, timing is everything—miss a bid window for HVAC installations, and you lose the contract. We automate personalized sequences that trigger based on your production cycles, like nurturing leads for seasonal rebar orders during peak building seasons. Clients see conversion rates jump from 10% to 40% within six months, turning one-off scaffold inquiries into repeat commercial projects without inflating your marketing budget.
Eliminate Errors in High-Stakes Campaigns
Eliminate Errors in High-Stakes Campaigns: Disconnected tools mean double-entry for everything from CNC machine inventory alerts to customer blueprints, leading to costly mistakes like sending wrong tolerances to a key automotive OEM. Our integrated system creates a single source of truth synced with your MRP software, reducing errors by 90% and ensuring your outreach aligns with real-time shop floor data for faster, more accurate prefab module closes.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our team was buried in follow-up emails for every die-cast tooling bid—easily 10 hours a week gone on manual ERP updates. Now, the automation pulls data from our MRP system and sends tailored pitches for aluminum extrusions, landing us two big automotive contracts in the last quarter alone. It's like having an extra rep who never sleeps, especially during our peak forging runs."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Precision Forge Manufacturing Inc.
"We were losing leads because our marketing couldn't keep up with production shifts in our assembly line for circuit board enclosures. After implementing their custom system three months ago, we're nurturing supplier relationships automatically via integrated PLM data, and our close rate on custom enclosure parts jumped 35%. No more manual spreadsheets—finally, we can focus on scaling our SMT processes."
Sarah Kline
Marketing Director, Apex Assembly Lines LLC
"Honestly, I was skeptical about AI for our niche steel fabrication work, but this setup integrates with our CAD/CAM software and automates outreach for new structural beam designs. Saved us about 18 hours weekly on quote follow-ups, and we've seen a real uptick in repeat orders for bridge components without hiring more welders—our pipeline grew 25% in the first quarter."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle our variable production schedules?
Great question—manufacturing isn't clockwork, right? We design the system to adapt dynamically. For instance, if your assembly line shifts due to material delays, the AI pulls from your ERP to pause or reschedule marketing sequences automatically. No more sending outdated promotions. We've built this for shops like yours, where runs can change overnight, ensuring campaigns stay relevant and timely. Setup involves mapping your specific triggers, like low stock alerts feeding into re-engagement emails for alternative suppliers. Clients typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with immediate efficiency gains—think 10-15 hours back per week for your marketing lead. It's all custom, so it fits your rhythm without forcing rigid templates.
What's the ROI timeline for a mid-sized manufacturer?
You're probably thinking about payback periods, and fair enough—budgets are tight. Most of our manufacturing clients hit positive ROI within 3-6 months. Take a typical 50-employee fab shop: they save 12-18 hours weekly on manual lead tracking, equating to about $5K in labor costs monthly at average rates. Add in 25-40% better conversion on bids, and you're looking at revenue lifts that cover our build costs fast. We focus on your metrics, like cost per lead tied to production output. No fluff; we track it in your dashboard from day one. If your volume is higher, say with custom parts, we can model even quicker returns based on your data.
Can it integrate with our existing tools like Epicor or SAP?
Absolutely, and that's where we excel over generic platforms. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with manufacturing ERPs like Epicor, SAP, or even legacy systems. For example, we can automate pulling job order data to trigger targeted emails for similar past clients, all without manual exports. It's not brittle Zapier links—these are robust APIs built to handle high-volume data like BOM changes or inventory fluctuations. We've done this for dozens of SMBs, ensuring zero downtime during peak seasons. Your team gets a unified view, reducing errors that cost real money in misquotes. Implementation? We handle the heavy lifting, with minimal disruption to your ops.
How secure is this for sensitive manufacturing data?
Security is non-negotiable in your world, especially with proprietary designs or client specs. We build everything on enterprise-grade frameworks with end-to-end encryption, role-based access, and compliance alignments like GDPR or NIST—tailored if you're in regulated sectors. Unlike cloud rentals, you own the system, hosted on your preferred secure infrastructure. For a recent client in aerospace parts, we implemented audit trails for every data touchpoint in marketing campaigns, preventing leaks. Regular penetration testing and updates keep it ironclad. You're in control, with full transparency on data flows—no black boxes here. This peace of mind lets your team focus on innovation, not worries.
What if our needs change with new product lines?
Manufacturing evolves—new machinery, expanded lines, you name it. Our solutions are built scalable, not locked in. We design with modularity, so adding a new product line means simple reconfiguration, like updating AI models to nurture leads for fresh SKUs without rebuilding. A tooling company we worked with scaled from 20 to 50 campaigns in months, just by tweaking parameters tied to their MRP system. No vendor lock-in; you own it, and we provide optimization support. Expect 20-30% efficiency boosts as you grow, with costs staying predictable. It's like pouring a foundation that supports future builds—flexible and strong.
Do I need an in-house tech team to maintain it?
Nope, that's the beauty of our approach. We handle the build and ongoing maintenance, so your team—busy with floor oversight—doesn't need coders on staff. The system runs autonomously, with intuitive dashboards for monitoring, like viewing lead funnels alongside production metrics. For tweaks, like seasonal campaign adjustments, we offer tiered support plans, or you can make simple changes via no-code interfaces we embed. A recent manufacturing partner, with just a small admin crew, manages theirs independently after our initial training. Saves you hiring costs while keeping everything humming. If issues arise, our engineers jump in—think of us as your extended shop crew.
