What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our Slack was a mess—techs missing shifts for high-pressure boiler installs because notifications got buried under routine leak reports. Now, automated alerts route jobs perfectly to the right crews, and we've shaved off 18 hours a week on coordination. Last quarter, we handled 25% more sewer emergencies without adding staff, hitting our peak season targets effortlessly."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Plumbing & Heating Services
"I was skeptical about automating our hydro-jetting drain line jobs in Slack, but their custom setup integrated with our ServiceTitan scheduling app flawlessly. No more chasing techs for updates on residential unclogs; everything's tracked in real-time with GPS pings. Saved us $4,000 in the first month alone on admin time, freeing us up for more water softener installs."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Apex Residential Plumbing Co.
"Our team used to spend afternoons sorting through Slack for material orders on galvanized pipe replacements during winter surges. AIQ's automation flags low inventory instantly and even pulls data from our supplier portal for fittings. It's like having an extra dispatcher—cut our delays by half on fixture upgrades and boosted on-time completions to 95%, reducing callbacks by 40%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does Slack automation specifically help with plumbing dispatch?
In plumbing, dispatch is a race against leaks and bursts. Our custom automation scans incoming Slack messages or integrations from your CRM, instantly creating job tickets with details like location and issue type. It assigns the best tech based on skills—say, a specialist for gas line work—and sends mobile alerts. This cuts manual routing from 30 minutes per job to seconds, saving 10-15 hours weekly. We've seen firms reduce response times by 50%, directly leading to happier clients and fewer emergency escalations. Unlike generic bots, ours learns your workflow patterns for even smarter assignments over time.
What integrations work with your Slack setup for plumbers?
We tailor integrations to your stack, connecting Slack to tools like Jobber for scheduling, QuickBooks for invoicing, or even Google Calendar for crew availability. For example, a new pipe repair request auto-pulls customer history and populates a Slack thread with prep info. Our deep, two-way APIs ensure data flows reliably—no more copy-pasting addresses or statuses. This unified setup eliminates the 'subscription chaos' of disconnected apps, creating a single source for all job data. Clients report 40% faster month-end closes as billing info syncs automatically upon completion.
How secure is the automation for handling sensitive plumbing client data?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where client addresses and repair histories are gold. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and SOC 2, ensuring Slack channels are access-controlled by role—dispatchers see jobs, but not billing details. Data in transit uses HTTPS, and we audit logs for anomalies. Unlike brittle no-code tools, our custom code avoids common vulnerabilities. For plumbers, this means peace of mind when sharing leak photos or payment info, with zero breaches in our deployed systems.
Can this scale if my plumbing business grows from 5 to 20 trucks?
Absolutely—our automations are designed for growth, handling volume spikes like summer AC drain issues without hiccups. We use scalable frameworks that process thousands of messages daily, with auto-scaling cloud infrastructure. As you add trucks, the system adapts by incorporating new user roles and expanding integrations, like fleet GPS for better routing. One client scaled from 8 to 25 vans and saw no performance dips, maintaining 99% uptime. This future-proofs your investment, turning Slack into a command center that grows with your business.
What's the timeline and cost for implementing Slack automation?
We kick off with a free consultation to map your needs, then deliver a prototype in 2-4 weeks, full deployment in 6-8 weeks. Costs start at $15,000 for a core setup, scaling based on custom features like AI prioritization—far less than ongoing subscriptions that add up to $50K yearly. ROI hits quickly: expect 15 hours saved weekly at $50/hour labor value, paying for itself in 2-3 months. Our fixed-price model avoids surprises, with post-launch support included for the first quarter to fine-tune based on real usage.
Will my team need training to use the automated Slack features?
Minimal disruption is key for busy plumbers. We provide 2-4 hours of targeted training, focusing on practical scenarios like responding to auto-generated job alerts. The system uses familiar Slack interfaces with intuitive commands—no steep learning curve. Crews get quick-start guides for mobile use, and we offer a 24/7 help channel. Adoption is high; one team went live with 90% proficiency in a week, reducing errors in job handoffs by 60%. It's built to feel natural, enhancing your existing habits rather than overhauling them.
