The "Disconnected Data" Problem
Field plumbers complete a sewer line repair using PVC couplings and epoxy sealant but can't instantly log the 5 fittings and 2 hours of labor in the system, forcing office staff to chase handwritten timesheets and material receipts
Client calls about a water heater install payment status, but QuickBooks and your scheduling app show conflicting balances
Emergency copper pipe burst jobs in residential basements pile up unreported expenses like emergency shut-off valves and after-hours subcontractor fees, leading to surprise losses of $500-$1,000 per incident at month-end reconciliation
Repeat customers get duplicate invoices because job history isn't flowing from dispatch to accounting
Inventory tracking for brass fittings, ball valves, and PEX tubing remains manual via clipboards, causing overstock of rarely used 1-inch gate valves or shortages of compression fittings during peak summer water heater season
Service contracts for annual HVAC tune-ups and boiler inspections aren't auto-renewing in QuickBooks, risking lost revenue from forgotten follow-ups on 200+ residential customers

With over a decade of experience building enterprise-grade systems for home services, we've helped plumbing firms like yours achieve industry-leading efficiency.
Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we craft seamless integrations that connect your plumbing dispatch, CRM, and QuickBooks into a unified platform. No more data silos. Imagine job details from a leaky faucet repair flowing automatically to generate accurate invoices, track parts usage, and update client records—all without lifting a finger. Our approach starts with mapping your exact workflow, from emergency calls to routine maintenance, ensuring every pipefitting expense and labor hour syncs flawlessly.

What Makes Us Different:
Transform Your Plumbing Business with Unified Data Flow
Accelerate Invoicing and Get Paid 25% Faster
Accelerate Invoicing and Get Paid 25% Faster: Job completion on a tankless water heater install triggers instant QuickBooks entries with line items for parts and labor, turning a two-day billing process into minutes. Plumbers report collecting payments 25% quicker—often same-day via integrated card readers—freeing cash for new service vans or pipe-threading tools without delays from manual timesheet reconciliation.
Boost Profit Margins by Catching Hidden Costs Early
Boost Profit Margins by Catching Hidden Costs Early: Track every ball valve replacement, solder joint repair, and overtime hour for after-hours drain unclogging in real-time via mobile app uploads, preventing the 15-20% profit erosion common in plumbing due to unlogged expenses like forgotten disposal fees. Our unified system highlights variances immediately—e.g., spotting a $200 overage on copper tubing—helping you bid more accurately on future residential repiping jobs within 24 hours.
Strengthen Client Relationships with Accurate, Timely Updates
Strengthen Client Relationships with Accurate, Timely Updates: Unified records across dispatch, service history, and payments mean no more confusion over a customer's past sump pump replacement or furnace filter changes—clients receive personalized SMS follow-ups for seasonal AC maintenance, increasing repeat business by up to 35% through automated reminders. It's like having a digital ledger that builds trust with every interaction, reducing disputes over boiler service invoices by 40%.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd spend Fridays just matching job tickets for drain cleaning jobs to QuickBooks—now it's automatic with real-time uploads from our techs' tablets, and we've cut our billing errors from 12% to under 2%. Last quarter alone, that saved us about $3,200 in rework on misbilled water line repairs."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Apex Plumbing & Drain Services
"We integrated our Housecall Pro with QuickBooks through AIQ Labs, and suddenly emergency jobs like midnight pipe bursts aren't a financial black hole anymore. We caught a $1,500 overage on copper fittings and emergency plumber overtime for a big apartment repipe project right away during the job. It's been a game-changer for our small team of five."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Urban Pipe Pros LLC
"The custom setup from AIQ Labs synced our inventory for PEX tubing, compression fittings, and shut-off valves so well that we avoided stocking out during a rush of 15 water heater installs last summer. Revenue's up 18% year-over-year from better job throughput, and I actually see the numbers without spreadsheets scattered across the shop."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this integration handle emergency plumbing jobs that happen outside regular hours?
Our custom setup ensures 24/7 data flow, so even a midnight water main break gets logged instantly from your dispatch app to QuickBooks. Techs update via mobile, capturing overtime and parts on the spot. We've seen plumbers reduce post-job admin from hours to seconds, with built-in approvals for urgent expenses to keep your books accurate without delays. It's designed for the unpredictable nature of plumbing, preventing revenue leaks from untracked emergencies.
Will this work with my existing plumbing software like Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with top home services tools, mapping fields like job types (e.g., fixture installs) and customer notes directly to QuickBooks categories. The process starts with a workflow audit to ensure compatibility, then we build custom APIs for bidirectional sync. Clients typically see full operation within two weeks, eliminating the manual exports that slow down end-of-day processing for multi-tech teams.
What about data security for client payment info and job details?
Security is paramount in home services, where you're handling sensitive info like addresses for service calls. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like SOC 2, ensuring QuickBooks data stays protected during transfers. Access controls limit who sees what—field techs update jobs, but only managers view financials. Regular audits and failover systems mean no disruptions, even during high-stakes jobs, giving you peace of mind as you scale.
How much customization can I expect for my plumbing workflow?
Everything is built around your specifics—no templates here. If your firm specializes in commercial vs. residential, or needs custom fields for eco-friendly piping, we tailor the integration accordingly. We map your processes, like auto-flagging high-risk jobs for insurance notes in QuickBooks, and test against your real data. This results in a system that feels like an extension of your team, boosting efficiency by 40% on average for similar plumbing setups.
What's the timeline and cost for setting this up?
Most plumbing integrations take 4-6 weeks from discovery to launch, depending on complexity like multi-app connections. Costs start at $15,000 for a core setup, scaling with custom features—far less than the $50,000+ in lost productivity from silos. We provide a fixed-scope proposal after an initial consult, with phased payments tied to milestones. Post-launch, maintenance is minimal, often under $500/month, delivering ROI through faster payments and fewer errors within the first quarter.
Can this integration help with inventory management for plumbing parts?
Yes, it's a core strength. We connect your parts database to QuickBooks, auto-deducting items like copper fittings after each job. AI forecasting predicts needs based on job history and seasons—think stocking more for winter freezes. This cuts overstock waste by 25%, as seen in our plumbing clients, and integrates reorder alerts directly into your workflow, ensuring techs never run dry mid-repair.
