Workflow status
We are already automating real operational work inside the hydraulic industry.
HostMetric is helping OMFB automate how incoming customer emails and orders move through its business — extracting information, checking business systems and preparing the next action while keeping exceptions and important commercial decisions with the OMFB team.
Where is the opportunity in your business?
Use your own numbers. These are scenario calculations, not promises — the point is to identify which workflow deserves proper discovery first.

From incomplete enquiry to quote-ready opportunity
The objective is not to let an LLM choose hydraulic components. It is to structure the enquiry, retrieve controlled knowledge, apply rules and give your expert a better starting point.
Email, web, phone note or portal intake becomes one structured record.
Extract vehicle, application, urgency and identify exactly what is missing.
Check approved fitment rules, manuals, catalogue data and precedent.
Find availability nationally and bring in account pricing and commercial rules.
Technical or sales staff review the proposed configuration and exceptions.
Prepare the quote, track engagement and keep valuable opportunities moving.
A practical AI operating layer for hydraulic businesses
Start with one measurable bottleneck. Reuse the same product, customer and workflow data as you expand.
Quote & Fitment Copilot
Turn emails, web enquiries and photos into structured requirements, candidate parts and quote-ready drafts.
Branch Inventory Optimiser
See the right stock, in the right branch, at the right time — and identify transfer, reorder and excess-stock opportunities.
Internal Technical Assistant
Search manuals, fitment knowledge, supplier documentation and previous approved decisions in seconds.
Service Intake & Scheduling
Capture faults, urgency, vehicle information and route work with better context before workshop staff touch it.
Quote Follow-Up & Reactivation
Make sure valuable quotes, dormant accounts and buying signals do not disappear into shared inboxes.
Turn the message your customer actually sends into the information your team actually needs

Start with the highest-return workflow. Scale when the foundation is working.
Enquiry Capture + Internal Technical Assistant
Capture and structure enquiries. Give staff fast access to approved knowledge.
Quote & Fitment Copilot
Generate structured requirements, candidate configurations and draft quotes for human approval.

Improve stock visibility, reduce stockouts and recommend transfers or replenishment.
Scheduling + Order-to-Cash
Connect parts availability to service capacity, invoicing and commercial follow-through.
