What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our guys were stuck calling clients for payments after every sewer line excavation job in flood-prone areas. Now, Stripe automates it all via mobile app integration—we saved 12 hours a week on admin and our cash flow improved by 35% in just two months, letting us bid on more municipal contracts. It's like having an extra admin without the $50K salary."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Plumbing Services
"We handle a ton of emergency pipe bursts from frozen lines in winter, and manual invoicing was killing us with overtime disputes. Their custom setup integrates with our QuickBooks job tracker perfectly, cutting our billing errors in half for gas line repairs and closing books 20% faster each month—now we're at 95% on-time payments. Solid work for scaling our 24/7 service."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Apex Plumbing Co.
"Recurring contracts for water softener installs and annual drain inspections were a nightmare to bill manually, with clients disputing auto-charges. AIQ built us a system that handles subscriptions flawlessly through automated reminders, saving us $4,500 in admin costs last quarter alone—finally, time to hire another tech and grow our residential client base by 15%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle emergency plumbing jobs with urgent payments?
Our custom Stripe system triggers instant invoicing right after job completion, even for after-hours emergencies like burst pipes. It integrates with your scheduling tool to pull job details automatically, sends payment links via text or email, and processes approvals in under 5 minutes. For plumbers, this means no more end-of-day paperwork rushes—cash flows in 40% faster, reducing the stress of unpredictable call volumes. We've seen firms cut their average collection time from 14 days to just 4, directly boosting working capital for inventory like pipes and fittings.
What if my plumbing business uses multiple payment methods beyond Stripe?
We design the automation to support Stripe as the core while bridging to other methods like ACH or checks for legacy clients. For instance, if a customer prefers paying for a water heater install via bank transfer, the system flags it and syncs the record without manual entry. This flexibility prevents disruptions in your workflow, especially for older homeowners. Based on our work with 50+ plumbing ops, this hybrid approach maintains 95% automation rates, saving you from juggling separate ledgers and ensuring all revenue streams feed into one clean dashboard.
How secure is this for handling sensitive client payment data in home services?
Security is paramount in plumbing, where you're in clients' homes trusting you with access. Our builds use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with PCI DSS standards, with AI monitoring for anomalies like unusual charges on leak repairs. We avoid third-party plugins that could expose data; instead, everything runs on your owned infrastructure. Clients report zero breaches in our deployments, and it gives your team peace of mind—focus on fixing the sump pump, not fearing hacks. Plus, we include audit logs for every transaction, helping with tax season or disputes.
Can this scale if my plumbing company grows to more technicians or locations?
Absolutely, our systems are built scalable from day one. For a growing firm adding vans for sewer services across counties, we engineer modular code that expands effortlessly—handle 10 techs or 100 without performance dips. Unlike rigid templates, it adapts to your workflow, like splitting payments across teams for large commercial jobs. We've helped plumbers double their size while maintaining 99% uptime, resulting in ROI that compounds as you add routes. No need for costly overhauls later; it's future-proofed for your expansion plans.
What's the typical timeline and cost savings for implementing this?
Implementation takes 4-6 weeks: one for mapping your pipe repair invoicing quirks, two for building and testing, and one for launch with training. Savings kick in immediately—expect 10-15 hours weekly reclaimed from admin, equating to $3,000-$6,000 monthly for a 5-tech team at average rates. Long-term, ROI hits 400% in year one by minimizing errors on fixture upsells and speeding collections. It's not just automation; it's a custom tool that pays for itself through efficiency, letting you bid on more contracts without hiring extra back-office staff.
Will this integrate with my existing plumbing management software?
Yes, we specialize in deep integrations with tools like ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro, common in plumbing. For example, when a tech marks a drain cleaning as done, Stripe auto-generates and sends the invoice, updating your CRM in real-time. No more double data entry that leads to missed add-ons like camera inspections. Our approach creates a unified pipeline, reducing errors by 85% as per industry stats from similar deployments. If your setup is unique, we customize the APIs to fit seamlessly, ensuring your client relationships stay strong with accurate, timely billing.
