At AIQ Labs, we don't deploy off-the-shelf templates. We build unified dashboards from the ground up, integrating your scheduling tools, inventory systems, and customer data into a single, real-time interface. Picture your operations like a finely tuned engine: every component synchronized for peak performance. No more data silos.

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Detailing Empire
Real-Time Job Visibility
Real-Time Job Visibility: Track every vehicle from drop-off to polished handover, with dashboards highlighting bottlenecks like a clogged fuel line or extended paint correction sessions, ensuring no detailing bay idles longer than necessary. Shops report 35% faster completion times for full reconditions, turning around more cars per day without adding staff—typically reducing a 3-hour detail to under 2 hours.
Precision Inventory Management
Precision Inventory Management: Monitor detailing polish stocks, wheel cleaner supplies, and tool usage live, with alerts for low microfiber cloths before a busy weekend rush. This prevents halting a full interior detail mid-job due to missing supplies. Benchmark: Reduce overstock by 25% on consumables like buffing pads, freeing cash for business expansion into new service lines like ceramic coatings.
Informed Revenue Decisions
Informed Revenue Decisions: Dashboards aggregate upsell data from services like ceramic coatings and headlight restorations, showing which add-ons drive the most profit per vehicle. Spot trends instantly—say, rising demand for paint protection films—and adjust offerings on the fly. Result: 20% uplift in average ticket value within 3 months, proven across our detailing clients handling 50+ cars weekly.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were guessing on bay availability and wasting detailing polish on over-orders for wheel treatments. Now, with real-time tracking of job progress, we've cut turnaround from 4 hours to 2.5 for full exterior details, and our team actually finishes shifts on time—boosting daily output by 40%."
Marcus Hale
Owner, Precision Auto Detail & Reconditioning Shop
"We integrated our vehicle scheduling with inventory tracking—no more scrambling for clay bars or tire shine during peak summer detailing rushes. Last quarter, we handled 15% more vehicles, from sedans to SUVs, without extra hires. It's like having an extra manager monitoring bay efficiency 24/7."
Elena Vargas
Operations Manager, ShinePro Mobile Detailing Services
"The custom KPIs revealed exactly where upsells were lagging on interior protections. We focused on engine bay cleans and fabric guards, boosting revenue by $8K in two months during our high season. Simple interface, but game-changing for keeping our small shop competitive in a crowded market."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this dashboard integrate with my existing scheduling software?
We specialize in seamless integrations with popular tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even custom spreadsheets used in detailing shops. Our process starts with mapping your data flows—such as job bookings and technician assignments—then building secure API connections for two-way sync. This means updates in your scheduler instantly reflect in the dashboard, eliminating double-entry. For a typical auto detailing operation, setup takes 2-4 weeks, and we've handled everything from QuickBooks pairings for billing to supplier APIs for inventory pulls. The result? A single pane of glass for your operations, reducing errors by 30% based on our client benchmarks. No disruptions during build—we phase it in to keep your bays running smooth.
What specific KPIs can I track for my detailing business?
Our custom dashboards focus on automotive-specific metrics that matter to detailers, like bay utilization (aim for 85% industry benchmark), average job duration (target under 3 hours for standards), and upsell capture rates for services like headlight restoration. We also include inventory turnover ratios to avoid overbuying waxes, and customer satisfaction scores pulled from post-service feedback. Unlike generic tools, we tailor these to your workflow—say, tracking ceramic coating application times separately. Real-time visualizations let you spot trends, such as slower winter jobs due to salt residue, and drill down into details like per-technician efficiency. Clients see a 25% productivity lift within the first quarter, with dashboards updating every 5 minutes for live insights during peak hours.
Is the dashboard accessible on mobile for my on-site team?
Absolutely—mobility is crucial in auto detailing, where managers need eyes on the floor without hunching over a desk. Our solution is fully responsive, with a dedicated app for iOS and Android that mirrors the web dashboard. Techs can log job progress, scan barcodes for inventory checks, or view assigned vehicles right from their phone, even offline with sync on reconnect. For example, during a multi-car rush, you can reassign bays instantly via swipe gestures. We've optimized it for quick loads under 2 seconds, even on 4G, and included voice commands for hands-free updates while polishing. This setup has helped shops reduce response times to client queries by 40%, ensuring no vehicle sits idle while you hunt for status updates.
How much customization is involved, and what's the timeline?
Every dashboard is 100% custom-built to fit your detailing operation's nuances, from tracking eco-friendly product usage to monitoring water reclamation compliance. We start with a deep-dive workshop to map your processes, then prototype key views like job pipelines tailored to your bay layout. Unlike template-based systems, we code unique features, such as alerts for high-humidity days affecting drying times. Timelines vary: discovery takes 1 week, build 4-6 weeks, and testing 2 weeks, for a total of 2-3 months to full deployment. Phased rollouts minimize downtime—we've launched for busy shops without missing a single appointment. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of free tweaks to refine based on real usage, ensuring it drives your efficiency goals from day one.
What about data security for customer vehicle information?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive services, where client data like VINs and service histories must stay protected. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access so only authorized staff see sensitive details. Compliance with standards like GDPR and PCI for any payment integrations is baked in, and we conduct regular audits to meet detailing industry regs on chemical handling logs. For instance, customer photos of pre-detail conditions are stored securely with auto-expiration. Our systems include anomaly detection to flag unusual access, preventing breaches that affect 10% of small shops annually. We've never had a data incident in our 150+ deployments, giving you peace of mind while focusing on perfecting that showroom shine.
Can this scale if I expand to multiple detailing locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth, supporting everything from a single garage to a network of locations without performance dips. We build with scalable cloud infrastructure that handles increased data loads as you add bays or sites—think centralized dashboards with location-specific filters for comparing throughput across outposts. For a client expanding from one to three shops, we integrated fleet-wide inventory sharing, cutting bulk supply costs by 20%. Features like cross-site job transfers and consolidated reporting ensure unified visibility, even during mergers. Setup for expansion is modular; adding a new location takes just 1-2 weeks of reconfiguration. This future-proofs your investment, aligning with the 15% annual growth rate in professional detailing services.
