What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Clear Visibility That Drives Decisions
Real-Time Job Tracking
Real-Time Job Tracking: See every custom build stage—from initial client consult on kitchen remodels to final trim install—at a glance. Track progress on multi-phase projects like deck builds, spotting delays early via mobile updates from the field. Carpenters using our systems report 28% fewer overruns on average 4-6 week jobs, keeping projects under budget and clients happy with on-time completions.
Actionable KPI Insights
Actionable KPI Insights: Monitor metrics like average job turnaround for custom cabinetry (industry benchmark: 7-10 days) and material waste ratios for plywood and finishes. Gain foresight into peak seasons for outdoor decking or kitchen cabinetry demand, optimizing your bids on 20-30% of annual projects and crew allocation for up to 15% revenue growth through better resource planning.
Informed Decision-Making
Informed Decision-Making: Break free from gut-feel estimating on variable wood jobs. Our dashboards forecast costs for hardwoods based on supplier trends and lumber market fluctuations, helping you quote accurately on intricate staircases, furniture pieces, or pergola designs. Result: 22% higher win rates on competitive bids for residential remodels, reducing underquoting risks by 18%.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were scrambling with Excel sheets for every job site update on custom built-ins—it was like building a house of cards that toppled during peak remodel season. Now, the dashboard shows us exactly where our crews are on those intricate shelving installs, from rough cuts to final staining, and we've cut overtime by half in just three months, saving over $8K on labor."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Woodworks & Fine Carpentry
"I used to lose track of material deliveries for big kitchen remodels, like oak and maple for cabinets, leading to idle crews waiting on plywood and frustrated clients demanding updates. This unified view integrates our inventory with field schedules perfectly, alerting us to shortages before they hit. Last quarter, we finished five full kitchen cabinet projects ahead of our 8-week timelines, boosting our referrals by 30% from satisfied homeowners."
Sarah Ruiz
Operations Manager, Ruiz Carpentry & Remodeling Services
"Tracking profits on variable jobs like custom outdoor pergolas or reclaimed wood features was a nightmare with our disjointed apps and manual logs. AIQ's custom setup gives us real-time margins updated daily, factoring in lumber price swings, and we've identified inefficiencies in waste during framing that saved us $12K in wasted materials over six months. It's a game-changer for keeping our small team's 20% margins intact on tight-budget installs."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your dashboards handle the variability in carpentry projects, like custom vs. standard jobs?
We tailor the system to your mix of work. For instance, custom furniture jobs get detailed tracking for design iterations, while standard installs focus on speed metrics. By integrating your existing tools, we create dynamic KPIs that adapt—say, flagging extended timelines on intricate moldings. Carpenters we've worked with see a 25% improvement in estimating accuracy, based on real project data. It's all custom-built, so it mirrors your workflow without forcing one-size-fits-all rigidity. Setup includes a full audit of your job types to ensure relevance from day one.
What integrations do you support for a small carpentry business using basic tools?
We connect seamlessly with common setups like Jobber for scheduling, QuickBooks for finances, and even Google Sheets for initial inventory. For a solo or small-team operation, we start simple: pulling in job quotes and timesheets to build visibility. No need for fancy enterprise software. Our approach eliminates manual entry—think auto-syncing site visit notes to your dashboard. We've integrated for over 100 home services firms, reducing data silos by 80%. If you use something niche like woodworking CAD apps, we'll bridge it too, ensuring your dashboard feels like an extension of your shop.
How secure is the data in these custom dashboards for client-sensitive projects?
Security is non-negotiable in client-relationship trades like carpentry, where blueprints and home layouts are involved. We use enterprise-grade encryption and role-based access—field crews see schedules, but not full financials. Compliant with standards like GDPR for any shared client data. Unlike off-the-shelf tools prone to breaches, our owned systems mean you control access. In one case, a client avoided a potential leak during a high-end remodel by isolating project views. We conduct regular audits and provide training, so your dashboard protects your reputation as much as it powers your operations.
Can the dashboard scale as my carpentry business grows from 5 to 20 employees?
Absolutely—our builds are production-ready for expansion. Start with core features like job tracking for your current team, then layer in advanced forecasting as you add apprentices or expand to commercial work. We've scaled solutions for trades businesses doubling in size, maintaining speed even with 50+ active projects. The architecture uses robust frameworks, not fragile no-code, so performance doesn't dip. For example, one carpenter added multi-site management without downtime, hitting 40% more jobs annually. We include scalability planning in discovery, ensuring it grows with you, not against you.
What's the timeline and cost for building a custom dashboard for my carpentry shop?
Timelines vary by complexity, but most carpenters get a MVP in 4-6 weeks: two for mapping your needs, two for build and test. Full deployment follows with tweaks based on your first jobs. Costs start at $15K for a tailored system, far below juggling subscriptions that add up to $2K/month. ROI hits fast—clients recoup in 3-4 months via efficiency gains like 30% less admin time. We offer a free consult to scope exactly, including a breakdown tied to your revenue goals. No surprises; it's an investment in owning your data, not renting it.
Do you provide training for my non-tech-savvy crew on using the dashboard?
Yes, hands-on training is built-in, designed for trades pros who spend more time with saws than screens. We do virtual sessions plus on-site if needed, focusing on quick wins like checking job status in under 30 seconds. Materials include simple guides with carpentry examples, like logging a door frame measurement. Post-launch, we offer 24/7 support and quarterly check-ins to refine usability. One team went from zero adoption to full use in two weeks, cutting miscommunications on site visits by 50%. It's intuitive, like your favorite tape measure—reliable and straightforward.
