Your operational data is scattered across ERP, WMS, CRM, MES, spreadsheets, and shared drives. Every report requires someone to pull data from 3\u20134 systems and reconcile it manually. We centralize everything into a cloud data warehouse with automated pipelines so your analytics run on a single, consistent source of truth. Houston is one of the most operationally complex business markets in the United States. The energy corridor, the Port of Houston, the Texas Medical Center, and a massive industrial supply chain ecosystem all converge here. Metrotechs builds custom AI agents and AI systems for Houston businesses with high-volume operations — pricing agents, demand forecasting, fulfillment AI, exception resolution, and operational intelligence. Deployed in your infrastructure. Owned by you.
Houston energy sector transactions average $47,000 per order — 5x the national average. High-value, high-complexity decisions are exactly where AI agents produce the greatest ROI.
Deploy Snowflake, BigQuery, or Azure Synapse as your central analytics warehouse. Schema designed for manufacturing data models \u2014 orders, inventory, production, quality, and financials.
Automated extraction from Odoo and legacy ERP systems via Python pipelines. Transaction data, master data, and configuration data pulled on schedule or in near-real-time.
Warehouse transactions, production completions, quality records, and shop-floor data integrated alongside ERP data. The warehouse sees the full operational picture.
Scheduled and event-driven data pipelines that extract, transform, and load data from source systems. Built-in data quality checks, deduplication, and standardization at every stage.
Validation rules, anomaly detection, and data quality scoring applied during ingestion. Bad data is flagged and quarantined \u2014 not loaded into the warehouse to corrupt downstream reports.
Business-friendly data models that define "revenue," "inventory," "on-time delivery," and other metrics once. Every dashboard and report uses the same definitions \u2014 no more conflicting numbers.
Catalog every data source, document data volumes, update frequencies, and access methods. Map the data flows that need to converge in the warehouse.
Design the warehouse schema and semantic models based on your analytics requirements. Define dimensions, facts, and business metric calculations with stakeholder sign-off.
Build ETL/ELT pipelines for each source system. Implement data quality checks, transformation logic, and incremental refresh strategies.
Validate warehouse data against source systems. Reconcile counts, totals, and key metrics. Go live when data accuracy meets defined thresholds.
Deploy pipeline monitoring, data freshness alerts, and quality dashboards. Ongoing maintenance as source systems change or new data sources are added.

BigQuery on GCP for most manufacturers in our stack -- integrates cleanly with Python pipelines and Odoo data exports. Snowflake is a strong alternative for teams with existing BI investments. We recommend based on your analytics tools and data volume.
Depends on requirements. Most operational data refreshes every 15\u201360 minutes. Financial data typically daily. Near-real-time (sub-minute) available for critical metrics like inventory and order status at additional cost.
Yes. We extract from AS/400, DB2, flat files, ODBC sources, and custom databases. Legacy systems are often the most important data sources and the hardest to integrate \u2014 we handle both.
Cloud warehouse costs are usage-based \u2014 typically $500\u2013$3,000/month for mid-market manufacturers depending on data volume and query frequency. The ETL pipeline development is a one-time build with ongoing maintenance.
Most manufacturers are still running workflows that require a person to touch every exception, every order, every routing decision. AI agents eliminate that bottleneck — not by replacing your people, but by handling the work that was always below their pay grade.
Most manufacturers forecast demand with spreadsheets, gut feel, and last year's numbers adjusted by 5%. ML models trained on your actual order history, seasonality patterns, and market signals replace guesswork with predictions your planning team can act on.
Odoo Maintenance captures work orders, failure reasons, repair times, and equipment history. We build AI models on top of that data to identify failure patterns and recommend maintenance windows before breakdowns occur — no new hardware, no IoT infrastructure required.
Odoo Quality captures inspection results, non-conformances, scrap reasons, and lot traceability across every production order. We build AI models on top of that data to surface defect patterns, predict quality risk, and trigger alerts before scrap accumulates — no cameras, no hardware.
Most manufacturers price by cost-plus formula or by whatever the sales rep negotiated last time. AI pricing models factor in material costs, competitive positioning, customer segment, order size, inventory position, and market conditions — governed by business rules so every price stays within approved boundaries.
When an order hits your system, someone decides which warehouse ships it — usually based on habit, proximity, or whoever answered the phone. AI order routing makes that decision in real time, optimizing across inventory availability, shipping cost, delivery speed, and warehouse workload.
Manufacturers still process thousands of POs, invoices, RFQs, spec sheets, and BOLs manually — reading PDFs, retyping data into the ERP, and fixing the errors that come with it. Document intelligence extracts structured data from unstructured documents automatically, with validation rules that catch errors before they enter your systems.
Your dealers call or email to check stock before placing orders because they can't see what's available. We give them live ATP visibility across all your warehouses — available, allocated, in-transit, and expected replenishment dates — straight from your ERP and WMS.
We govern cloud migration in phases — every dependency mapped, every workload sequenced, every cutover window defined. Zero-downtime migration for manufacturers who can't afford an outage.
Most manufacturing AI projects die in the pilot phase. We deploy AI that integrates into your actual workflows -- demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, pricing optimization, and intelligent routing -- governed by operational data contracts.
Your demand planning process runs on last year\u2019s sales adjusted by a gut-feel percentage. ML models trained on your actual order history, seasonal patterns, and market signals produce forecasts that are measurably more accurate \u2014 and they improve automatically as more data accumulates.
Your legacy system holds critical data that modern applications need -- but it has no APIs, no webhooks, and no modern integration points. We build a REST/GraphQL API layer on top of your legacy system so new applications can access data without touching the core.
Metrotechs starts with the operating questions: which records are trusted, which workflows are manual, which systems own each decision, and where AI can safely improve throughput.
