The "Fragmented Outreach" Problem
Chasing custom order leads via scattered emails and calls for millwork projects eats into your shop floor time, diverting CNC operators from production runs
Missed follow-ups on builder inquiries lead to lost contracts for furniture runs
Generic marketing blasts ignore what local contractors really need, like precise millwork specs for door frames or cabinetry tolerances down to 1/16 inch
Tracking ROI on trade show promotions feels like guessing wood grain quality—imprecise and frustrating
Manual list-building from supplier directories like those from the National Hardwood Lumber Association pulls you away from quality control checks on joinery and finishes
Seasonal demand spikes for modular construction components overwhelm your outreach, causing bottlenecks in client communication during peak framing seasons

With years of field-tested integrations in manufacturing, we've helped shops like yours turn chaotic outreach into a smooth production line.

No more juggling apps. This unified setup automates personalized emails to local builders, highlighting your custom joinery capabilities, while tracking every interaction like you'd inspect a finished piece.

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Tangible Time and Cost Wins for Your Shop
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Lead Nurturing
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Lead Nurturing: Automate follow-ups for inquiries about custom shelving or cabinet sets using triggered sequences for bid deadlines, so your team focuses on crafting instead of chasing. One shop owner reclaimed Fridays for family while landing two extra contracts for 500-unit furniture runs monthly—that's a 25% productivity boost without hiring extra welders or fabricators.
Boost ROI by 30% with Precision Targeting
Boost ROI by 30% with Precision Targeting: Our system scores leads based on past buys of oak or maple runs, sending tailored pitches with CAD file attachments that convert 40% better than blasts. Imagine cutting waste like you'd trim excess lumber—direct savings of $5K quarterly on ineffective ads for trade show booths promoting structural steel components.
Streamline Client Communication for Faster Turnarounds
Streamline Client Communication for Faster Turnarounds: Auto-generate updates on project statuses, from rough cuts on plywood sheets to final finishes with lacquer applications, reducing back-and-forth emails by 60%. Shops report closing deals 10 days quicker on prefab wall panel orders, turning seasonal rushes into steady revenue streams without overtime spikes.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were drowning in emails trying to pitch our custom millwork to builders for commercial fit-outs. Now, the automation handles personalized follow-ups with spec sheets for baseboards and crown molding, and we've added three steady clients in just four months—saved me about 12 hours a week that I now spend overseeing dust collection and sanding lines on the shop floor."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Millworks in Denver, CO
"I was skeptical, but their system integrated with our inventory tracker for hardwood stocks and started sending spot-on emails about our reclaimed wood options for sustainable builds. Last quarter, we hit a 28% uptick in orders from local contractors for kitchen cabinetry installs, and the setup took less than a week without halting our router table production."
Sarah Ruiz
Operations Manager, Ruiz Custom Cabinets in Austin, TX
"Manual marketing was killing our efficiency during peak season for office furniture assemblies. AIQ built something that feels like an extension of our team—auto-nurtures leads for modular desk projects with assembly timelines and tracks everything in real-time. We've cut ad waste by half and gained two big hotel contracts for 200-room renovations since going live three months ago."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique needs of custom woodworking projects?
We get it—every job's different, from one-off tables to full kitchen installs. Our custom AI analyzes your past projects to create tailored campaigns. For instance, it segments leads by need: builders wanting bulk shelving get specs on efficiency, while designers see artistic finishes. This isn't generic; we integrate your shop's data for precision, saving you hours on personalization while boosting conversions. Setup involves a quick audit of your workflow, ensuring the system respects deadlines like rush orders. Shops typically see setup in 2-3 weeks, with immediate gains in targeted outreach that feels authentic to your craft.
Will this disrupt my daily shop operations during implementation?
No way—we design around your schedule. Think of it like adding a new station to your assembly line without stopping production. We start with off-hours mapping of your tools, then build in phases: first emails, then full integrations. Your team stays hands-on with tools; we handle the tech. One client, a cabinet maker, integrated without missing a beat, running parallel tests for a week. Post-launch, it's all automated, freeing 10-15 hours weekly for what matters—crafting quality pieces. If issues arise, our support is like an on-call foreman, quick and practical.
What kind of ROI can a woodworking shop expect from this?
Straight talk: most shops see 25-40% better lead conversion within the first quarter, translating to $10K-$20K extra revenue on top of saved time. We focus on metrics like cost per lead dropping from $50 to $20, based on targeted campaigns for local contractors. For example, automating follow-ups on millwork bids cut manual work by 18 hours weekly, letting one shop reallocate to a new CNC machine purchase. ROI calculators during consultation use your numbers for precise projections—no fluff. It's field-tested: lower ad waste, higher close rates, all while owning the system outright.
Can it integrate with my existing software like QuickBooks or shop management apps?
Absolutely, and that's our strength. We specialize in deep, two-way connections—no brittle links that break under load. For a woodworking setup, we sync QuickBooks for invoice-tied marketing, pulling order history to personalize pitches like 'Based on your last oak run, here's our new finish option.' If you're using something like JobBoss or even Google Workspace for quotes, it flows seamlessly. We've done this for dozens of manufacturers, ensuring data accuracy like matching wood grains. Implementation includes testing to avoid errors, and it's scalable as you add tools. You're not locked in; it's your system, built to last.
How is the pricing structured for small woodworking operations?
We keep it straightforward and ROI-focused—no surprise fees. For a shop your size, it's a one-time build fee covering custom development (around $15K-$25K based on complexity), plus minimal ongoing hosting under $500/month—way less than juggling multiple marketing subs. This shifts you to ownership, paying off in 4-6 months through savings. We break it down in consultation: factor in your current spend on ads and tools, show projected time/cost wins. A recent client, starting at 20 employees, recouped costs via two new contracts in month three. Flexible payments, no long contracts—built for practical businesses like yours.
What if I'm not tech-savvy—how easy is this to use?
You're a woodworker, not a coder—we make it intuitive, like using your shop's blueprint software. The dashboard is a simple interface: see leads, tweak campaigns with drag-and-drop, no coding needed. We provide training tailored to your team, using examples like automating bids for staircase builds. Post-launch, it's set-it-and-forget-it, with alerts for key actions. One owner with zero tech background said it felt easier than routing a mortise. Our support team's always a call away, speaking your language—shop efficiency, not jargon. Over time, it becomes as natural as your daily routine.
