The "Decentralized Dispatch" Problem
Inconsistent emergency response times between branches due to siloed scheduling tools, resulting in average delays of 30-45 minutes for lockout calls during peak hours
Manual inventory tracking leading to stockouts of common keys, padlocks, and high-security cylinders at remote locations, causing 20% of jobs to be postponed
Disjointed client records causing repeat visits for the same lock rekeying job, with up to 15% of residential service calls being redundant due to lost pin tumbler configurations
Wasted time reconciling sales and service logs from multiple shops, delaying invoicing
Technician route inefficiencies from uncoordinated job assignments across city-wide locations, leading to 25% excess mileage on deadbolt installations and safe relocking
Fragmented customer feedback collection, missing patterns in lock security complaints such as frequent reports of pick-resistant failures in multifamily housing

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains That Scale With Your Business
Slash Dispatch Delays by 50%
Slash Dispatch Delays by 50%: Imagine dispatching a certified locksmith for a residential deadbolt lockout in under 5 minutes, regardless of branch. Our GPS-integrated system automates assignments based on real-time proximity, specialized skills in high-security locks, and traffic data, saving 10-15 hours weekly on coordination—equivalent to handling 5 extra emergency calls—and boosting Net Promoter Scores by 35%. Field reports show teams closing 20% more after-hours jobs, like safe openings, without overtime costs.
Realize 4x ROI in Under 6 Months
Realize 4x ROI in Under 6 Months: By automating data entry for key duplication logs and parts requisitions across locations, you cut admin costs by $15,000 annually per site—covering software that syncs inventory for Schlage and Kwikset systems. Benchmarks from similar multi-branch operations demonstrate 300% returns via 90% fewer rekeying errors and billing cycles shortened from 10 days to 2, enabling seamless scaling to new service areas without added overhead.
Boost Productivity Across Teams
Boost Productivity Across Teams: Locksmiths reclaim 8-12 hours weekly from digital paperwork, redirecting time to high-margin services like smart lock retrofits for Airbnb properties. A unified CRM prevents duplicate rekeys by tracking master key systems, slashing no-shows by 40% and cutting fuel costs on repeat visits. This integration transforms fragmented operations into a streamlined network, driving 15% higher upsell rates on security audits.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our three Chicago shops were chaotic—keys and restrictor plates running low at one site while another sat on excess, and techs wasting 20 miles per day on basic rekeys. After implementation, we're saving 18 hours weekly on logistics, emergency response dropped from 45 minutes to 12 for lockouts, and we've handled 15% more commercial safe jobs. It's like having a tireless dispatch expert for our pin code emergencies."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera Lock & Key Services (3 locations in greater Chicago area)
"Expanding to four locations last year was tough—coordinating inventory for Medeco high-security cylinders meant shortages during summer break-in spikes, costing us $5,000 in lost jobs quarterly. AIQ's predictive system analyzes local theft trends to forecast needs, cutting overstock waste by 60% in Q1 and eliminating billing errors on keyed-alike orders. It's revolutionized our operations without extra staff for transponder key programming."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, SecureLock Pros (multi-site locksmith serving urban and suburban areas)
"Managing residential and commercial locksmithing across Dallas suburbs with fragmented scheduling led to 10% missed appointments and angry clients over delayed knobset replacements. AIQ synced routes, client notes on cylinder grades, and automated follow-up SMS for deadbolt maintenance—resulting in a 25% repeat business increase in three months, plus my team finishes shifts 45 minutes earlier for better work-life balance."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle varying emergency volumes across my locksmith branches?
Our system uses AI to forecast demand based on historical data, like weekend break-ins or seasonal property turnovers, dynamically allocating resources. For instance, it prioritizes high-urgency commercial lockouts while queuing residential ones. We've seen clients reduce wait times by 40% during peaks. Implementation starts with analyzing your call logs from the past year to calibrate predictions accurately. Plus, it integrates with your phone system to route calls intelligently, ensuring no location gets overwhelmed. This setup not only saves time but also prevents technician burnout from uneven workloads.
What if my locations use different tools for inventory and scheduling?
We specialize in bridging those gaps with custom, two-way integrations—no matter if it's QuickBooks for one shop's billing or a basic spreadsheet for another's stock. Our team maps out data flows to create a single truth, automating updates so a key order in Branch A instantly reflects in Branch B's availability. In a recent project for a five-location chain, this cut reconciliation time from 10 hours to 30 minutes weekly. We test rigorously to avoid disruptions, and provide fallback protocols. Ultimately, it unifies your operations without forcing everyone onto the same app.
Can this scale if I add more locksmith shops in the future?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for unlimited growth, like adding a new key to a master system without recutting the whole set. We build with modular components, so onboarding a new location involves simple configuration, not a rebuild. Clients expanding from three to seven sites reported zero downtime during additions. Features like auto-scaling cloud resources handle increased data from more jobs, ensuring performance stays snappy even with 100+ daily lockouts. We include growth roadmaps in every project, projecting costs and efficiencies as you scale.
How secure is the system for handling sensitive client lock data?
Security is paramount in locksmithing, where you're dealing with home and business access codes. We implement enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like GDPR and SOC 2. Access is role-based—techs see only job-relevant info, while owners get full oversight. In one deployment, we added biometric logins for high-security audits. Regular vulnerability scans and updates keep threats at bay. Unlike subscription tools, you own the system, so we customize protections to your exact needs, like masking PINs in reports.
What's the typical timeline and cost for implementation?
For a standard multi-location locksmith setup with 3-5 branches, discovery and build take 8-12 weeks, followed by a 2-week testing phase. Costs start around $25,000 for core automations, scaling with complexity like custom AI predictions—far less than ongoing subscriptions that add up to $50K yearly. ROI hits in 4-6 months via time savings; one client recouped investment in three months through faster invoicing. We offer phased rollouts to minimize disruption, starting with dispatch before full inventory sync. Every project includes post-launch support for tweaks.
Will my team need extensive training to use the new system?
We keep it straightforward—your dispatchers and techs get 4-6 hours of tailored training, focused on daily tasks like job assignment or inventory checks. The interface mimics familiar tools, with voice commands for on-the-go use during lock installations. In feedback from a Phoenix-based chain, 90% of staff were proficient after one session, and productivity jumped immediately. We provide cheat sheets and a 24/7 help bot trained on your workflows. Ongoing, it's low-maintenance; updates happen seamlessly without retraining.
