Join 150+ businesses with streamlined operations and zero data silos
The "Fragmented Operations" Problem
Estimating software disconnected from inventory, leading to over-ordering of collision parts like aluminum panels and resulting in excess stock of $5,000+ per month
Scheduling apps unaware of supplier delays on frame straighteners and alignment tools, causing 2-3 day stalls in jobs and customer dissatisfaction
Isolated invoicing tools that double-count labor hours on multi-stage paint jobs, such as primer, base coat, and clear coat applications, inflating costs by 15-20%
Siloed parts tracking obscuring backorders for OEM bumpers and headlights, triggering emergency sourcing from aftermarket suppliers and 10+ hours of overtime weekly
Customer portals out of sync with real-time repair status on dent pulls and panel replacements, prompting 50+ daily calls about insurance claim approvals
Payroll systems detached from time-tracking on MIG welding and frame pulling tasks, leading to $2,000 monthly discrepancies in technician pay during high-volume collision seasons

With over a decade architecting enterprise-grade systems for automotive repair networks, we've streamlined operations for shops handling everything from minor fender benders to full frame restorations.
Why Choose Us
We build a custom AI-powered platform that connects your estimating tools like CCC One, inventory from Solomon, and scheduling via Shop-Ware into one seamless ecosystem. No more data silos. Think of it as upgrading from a patchwork of rusty chains to a precision-tuned drivetrain—everything flows without friction. Our approach starts with mapping your daily workflows, from initial damage assessment to final quality checks, then deploys deep API integrations for real-time data synchronization. This creates a single source of truth, where a parts order in one system instantly updates job timelines in another, slashing delays and boosting efficiency in high-volume auto body environments.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enterprise-Level Efficiency Without the Overhead
Centralized Operations for Faster Turnarounds
Centralized Operations for Faster Turnarounds: Picture your shop floor operating like a precision-tuned V8 engine. Unified systems automatically sync repair estimates with OEM parts inventory, reducing vehicle downtime by 30% on average for fender benders and structural repairs. Shops using this integration complete 20% more jobs per week, turning around full collision repairs in 3-5 days instead of 2 weeks, directly accelerating revenue from insurance reimbursements.
Error-Free Data Flow Drives Profit Margins
Error-Free Data Flow Drives Profit Margins: Fragmented tools breed errors, such as overbilling on 8-hour color-matching paint jobs. Our platform delivers real-time, accurate updates across estimating, inventory, and invoicing, slashing overcharges by 25% and minimizing insurer disputes on claims for rust repairs or dent removals. This accuracy streamlines operations and safeguards margins in the high-stakes auto body sector.
Scalable Architecture Handles Peak Seasons Seamlessly
Scalable Architecture Handles Peak Seasons Seamlessly: When seasonal events like hail damage flood bays with 50+ vehicles, our robust setup scales effortlessly without workflow disruptions. Unlimited job volume and user access support 200% surges in frame alignments and panel replacements, akin to a durable chassis adapting to rough roads, ensuring consistent productivity year-round.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our CCC ONE estimating software and parts tracker didn't integrate at all—like oil and water—causing constant headaches with over-ordered aluminum hoods during busy hail season weeks. Now, real-time syncing has cut our average collision repair time by two days and reduced parts waste by 18% on insurance jobs, letting us handle 15 more vehicles monthly."
Mike Rivera
General Manager, Precision Collision Center in Denver, CO
"We were buried in manual data entry between Mitchell scheduling and QuickBooks invoicing, particularly for custom fiberglass bodywork and chrome trim installs. Post-integration with AIQ, billing errors fell to under 1%, freeing techs from paperwork to focus on welds and alignments. Our revenue per repair bay increased 22% in the first three months alone."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Apex Auto Body in Seattle, WA
"Merging our Reynolds CRM with Alldata shop management was a total hassle until AIQ Labs unified it seamlessly. Automated updates on Car-O-Liner frame straightening progress now notify customers instantly, cutting follow-up calls by 50% during peak accident seasons. The reliability has boosted our team's output on structural repairs by 25%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does multi-system integration handle the unique data from auto body repair estimates?
In auto body shops, estimates involve detailed line items like panel replacement and labor hours that vary by vehicle make. Our integration pulls this data directly from tools like Mitchell or CCC, mapping it to inventory systems for precise parts matching. We use custom AI parsers to handle unstructured inputs, such as handwritten notes on dents, ensuring 98% accuracy in syncing to scheduling apps. This eliminates manual re-entry, which typically wastes 10-15 hours weekly, and supports benchmarks like the industry's 72-hour average turnaround for minor collisions. Shops see immediate gains in workflow speed without disrupting daily operations.
What if my shop uses legacy software for parts tracking—can it integrate?
Absolutely. Many auto body operations rely on older systems like older versions of Protractor for parts. We engineer bespoke API wrappers to bridge these legacies with modern tools, creating bidirectional data flow for real-time stock checks on items like headlights or quarter panels. Unlike superficial connectors that fail under load, our solutions include error-handling for outdated formats, tested against scenarios like urgent orders during winter storm surges. This approach has helped shops reduce stock discrepancies by 35%, aligning with industry standards for just-in-time inventory in repair environments.
How scalable is this for a growing auto body shop adding more bays?
Our platform is designed with enterprise architecture in mind, handling unlimited job volumes without performance dips—perfect for shops expanding from 4 to 12 bays. We build on modular frameworks that auto-scale cloud resources during peaks, like post-holiday collision rushes, maintaining sub-second response times for updates on frame alignments. Benchmarks show our systems support 500% growth in throughput, far exceeding the limits of no-code tools that cap at 50 concurrent users. This ensures seamless operations as you add services like custom wraps, keeping your efficiency at industry-leading levels.
Will integration affect my current workflows during implementation?
Minimally. We phase the rollout starting with non-critical connections, like linking invoicing to payroll for tech hours on paint jobs, while keeping core estimating live. Our team provides on-site training and parallel testing to mirror your processes, such as VIN-based job tracking. Downtime is under 4 hours total, with 24/7 support during the first month. Shops typically report full productivity within a week, gaining efficiencies like 20% faster parts approvals that offset any initial adjustments, based on our track record with similar multi-bay setups.
How does this improve compliance with insurance and regulatory standards in auto body work?
Compliance is baked in. We integrate audit trails for every data touchpoint, from initial damage photos to final sign-offs on rust repairs, ensuring traceability for I-CAR standards and insurer audits. AI flags discrepancies, like mismatched labor codes for welding tasks, reducing rejection rates by 28%. Unlike disconnected systems prone to gaps, our unified platform generates compliant reports on demand, supporting OSHA safety logs and emissions-related bodywork. This not only streamlines claims processing but positions your shop as a reliable partner, with many clients seeing faster reimbursements averaging 15 days.
What kind of support comes after the integration is complete?
Post-launch, you get dedicated monitoring for the first 90 days, including monthly performance reviews against KPIs like bay utilization rates. Our team handles any tweaks, such as adding new supplier feeds for aftermarket trim pieces, with unlimited remote support. Annual updates keep the system aligned with evolving automotive tech, like ADAS calibrations post-repair. This ongoing partnership has sustained 99.5% uptime for clients, far above industry averages, ensuring your investment in unified operations continues delivering value as shop demands evolve.
