Manufacturing AI Automation
AI Agents that Do the Work.
Not Chatbots that Talk About it.
We build, install, and run real automations inside the ERPs, inboxes, and supplier portals your team already uses. The work gets done. Nobody has to copy and paste anything into a chat window.
Positioning
Every AI Vendor Right Now is Selling the Same Thing. We’re Not.
They’re selling a chat subscription. ChatGPT for sales. Claude for procurement. A copilot tab in every app. None of it touches the actual work happening inside your client’s business. It gives the buyer a smarter inbox, not fewer emails.
The pitch you keep hearing
\”Subscribe to our copilot. It lives in a tab next to the ERP. Your team can ask it questions whenever they want.”
You still spend the afternoon updating purchase orders by hand. The agent waits politely until someone asks it something.
What Hoyack installs
A workstation agent logged into the ERP, the email inbox, and the supplier portals. It moves data, sends emails, updates records, and closes tasks on its own.
Behind your client’s firewall. On logins they already control. No new SaaS vendor in the mix.

Nine Automations We Install Today
Each one replaces a workflow that’s currently chewing through hours of someone’s day. Each is installed, monitored, and supported by us. The MSP keeps the relationship and the bill.
VENDOR FOLLOW-UPS
Chase Quotes, ETAs, and Confirmations on Autopilot
The work today
AP and purchasing spend hours every day chasing quotes, ETAs, and order confirmations by email and phone.
What we install
An agent on a workstation, logged into the team’s email and the ERP. It reads inbound supplier replies, drafts and sends follow-ups against open POs, and posts updates back to the ERP.
The human still
Anything outside the playbook lands in a flagged queue for the buyer to handle.
THREE-WAY MATCH
PO, Receipt, and Invoice Reconciled Automatically
The work today
POs, receiving documents, and vendor invoices are reconciled by hand. Discrepancies sit in someone’s inbox until they get caught.
What we install
An agent that pulls the PO, the goods-received note, and the vendor invoice from the ERP, runs the match, and queues clean ones for payment.
The human still
Variances above a threshold are flagged with the discrepancy already pinpointed for AP review.
ORDER STATUS REPLIES
“Where’s my order?” Answered Before Anyone Reads it
The work today
A shared inbox fills up daily with status emails. Customer service reps retype shipping data out of the ERP and into replies.
What we install
An agent that reads inbound status questions, looks up the order in the ERP, drafts the response with current status and tracking, and sends it.
The human still
Complaints, return requests, and anything that needs judgment escalate to a person.
RFQ INTAKE
Inbound RFQs Become Draft Quotes, No Retyping
The work today
Customer RFQs land by email with PDFs, drawings, and line-item lists. Someone retypes them into a quote in the ERP every time.
What we install
An agent that parses incoming RFQs, extracts line items and specs, attaches the source documents, and creates a draft quote in the ERP.
The human still
The quoter prices, reviews, and sends. They don’t do the data entry.
REORDER DRAFTS
Stockouts Caught Before the Floor Stops
The work today
Reorder points get checked occasionally. Stockouts still happen. Buyers chase parts after the floor has already stopped.
What we install
An agent watching stock levels against historical lead times and demand. Draft POs created and queued for the buyer before the stockout window opens.
The human still
Buyer reviews and approves the draft.
SHIPPING UPDATES
Carrier Emails Parsed Straight into the ERP
The work today
Carrier emails sit in inboxes. Order status in the ERP stays stale. Customers wait for someone to manually look something up.
What we install
An agent that reads carrier emails, parses tracking and ETA, updates the ERP, and triggers customer-facing status updates.
The human still
Late or damaged shipments escalate to a person who can actually do something about it.
SPEC & BOM PROPAGATION
Engineering Changes Pushed through Every System
The work today
An engineering change gets approved in a meeting. Pushing it through the ERP, MRP, drawings, and downstream systems is somebody’s afternoon.
What we install
An agent that takes the engineering change, pushes it into every system that needs it, and logs every update with a timestamp and source.
The human still
Engineering owns the change. The agent owns the propagation across systems.
QUOTE COMPARISON
Three Vendors, One Normalized Side-By-Side
The work today
A buyer requests quotes from three vendors and rebuilds the comparison in a spreadsheet by hand every time.
What we install
An agent that pulls inbound quote responses, normalizes line items and pricing, and produces a side-by-side comparison with the recommended pick flagged.
The human still
Buyer makes the call. They get a real comparison, not just three PDFs.
COMPLIANCE & CERTS
Batch Documentation Generated and Filed Correctly
The work today
Quality, traceability, and certification documentation is generated manually for each batch and filed somewhere on a network drive nobody trusts.
What we install
An agent that generates the right documentation against each batch and files it consistently, against the right job and customer.
The human still
QA reviews and signs off. They don’t copy templates around for an hour first.
How it works
You Install Once. We Keep it Running Forever.
Every automation is installed, monitored, tuned, and supported by Hoyack.
When ERP Updates & Agent Breaks
We fix it. No tickets to file. No “is this on you or us?” debate.
When a New Edge Case Shows Up
We add the playbook for it. The agent gets smarter without you doing anything.
When the Client Wants a New Step
We ship it. The MSP brings us in and keeps the relationship. We stay behind the curtain.
Why this isn’t ChatGPT
Same Models, Sometimes. Completely Different Deliverable.
ChatGPT is a tab
It waits for a human to ask it something.
It hands back text. The human still has to do the work.
What we install does the work
The agent reads the inbox. The agent writes the reply. The agent updates the ERP. The agent files the document.
A human only sees what actually needs a human, with the context already gathered.
Start with Vendor Follow-Ups.

Most manufacturers have a purchasing or AP desk that’s visibly drowning. One agent on that desk opens the conversation about the rest of the menu, and gives your client something they can feel by the end of the month.
