Spec Hub by Fohlio — Now in Beta
Paste a URL. Get a full spec. Spec Hub’s AI pulls product data from any vendor page in seconds — and keeps every item tracked from budget to purchase order.
AI Product Import
AI-Powered Data Ingestion
No more copy-pasting. No more chasing data sheets. Spec Hub’s AI reads any vendor product page and extracts every relevant field — automatically.
What’s New in Spec Hub
Spec Hub is not an update — it’s a completely new specification platform designed around how design and procurement teams actually work.
Paste any vendor URL and the AI extracts the product name, description, images, dimensions, materials, certifications, and pricing. Zero re-entry.
AI-PoweredSpecify bespoke pieces end-to-end. Add individual parts — fabric, frame, hardware, finish — as components. Pricing rolls up automatically.
Bespoke WorkflowEvery item is explicitly Budgeted, Quoted, or Ordered — so your Design Lead, Procurement Manager, and CFO never misread the same number.
Budget ControlEvery product you specify is automatically added to your Catalog with its vendor source, pricing history, and component structure. Your history becomes your advantage.
Institutional MemoryReplace one-off setups with reusable Collections. Built for hotel chains, retail rollouts, and repeat typologies.
Repeat WorkRevisions, approvals, and comments connected into a single chronological log per item. Every decision is timestamped, traceable, and defensible.
Audit TrailLifecycle Tracking
One of the most common profitability leaks in FF&E projects: confusing what’s been budgeted, quoted, and ordered. Spec Hub makes it impossible to mix them up.
Quantity and price estimate. The placeholder that anchors your early-stage budget. Clear from day one — not mistaken for a confirmation.
Vendor has confirmed pricing. The spec is real. Your budget number is now based on an actual quote, not an assumption.
Purchase order issued. The item is committed. Your financial picture is locked — no ambiguity, no drift.
Why it matters for your bottom line
Budget overruns are rarely caused by bad decisions. They’re caused by miscommunication about where a project actually stands. When your entire team shares a system-enforced definition of each stage, your numbers stop drifting. That’s what margin protection looks like at the process level.
The Product Catalog
The old Library required active management. The Catalog builds itself — vendor source, pricing history, and component structure preserved automatically for every product you specify.
Collections & Templates
Collections replace the old “Blocks” with something far more powerful — a complete, reusable product scope for an entire space type, applied in one step.
Define a master project template for your most common typologies — hotel rooms, retail locations, apartment units. Every new project inherits the full structure in one step.
Save pre-configured product specs — including custom fabrication components — as reusable templates. Apply your approved upholstery formula to any project instantly.
Running a 40-room hotel renovation? Collections let you apply the full FF&E scope to every room type in minutes — not hours of copy-pasting.
Lock in approved products, finishes, and vendors for clients with brand guidelines. Every project starts from a compliant baseline.
End-to-End Workflow
Spec Hub connects every stage of the specification process into a single, auditable system. No more switching between spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected tools.

Spec Hub is Fohlio’s completely rebuilt specification platform — not just an update. It introduces AI-assisted product data ingestion, explicit lifecycle stage tracking, reusable Collections, and a unified history log. Designed from the ground up for the full FF&E workflow from first concept to final purchase order.
Paste any product URL from any vendor or manufacturer website into Spec Hub. The AI automatically reads the page and extracts the product name, description, imagery, dimensions, materials, certifications, and pricing — all without any manual re-entry. No integrations or vendor partnerships required.
These are the three lifecycle stages every item in Spec Hub carries. Budgeted = quantity and price estimate. Quoted = vendor has confirmed pricing. Ordered = purchase order has been issued. This prevents the most common source of FF&E budget overruns: teams misreading the status of an item.
Collections are the successor to the old “Blocks” concept — but far more powerful. A Collection is a complete, reusable product scope for a space type. Combined with the Prototype Project → Product Template hierarchy, Collections let firms apply a full FF&E specification to any room in a single step.
Yes — custom fabrication is a first-class workflow in Spec Hub. You can add individual components (upholstery fabric, frame material, hardware finish) as separate spec elements with their own quantities and pricing. The pricing module calculates total fabrication cost automatically.
The old Library required active management. The new Catalog builds itself. Every product you specify in any project is automatically added to the Catalog with its vendor source, pricing history, and component structure intact. Over time it becomes a pricing database that makes budgeting faster and vendor negotiations stronger.
Spec Hub connects revisions, approvals, and comments into a single, chronological history log per item. Every change is timestamped and traceable. When a client asks why something changed, or a vendor disputes an order, you have a complete paper trail in three clicks — not scattered across emails and spreadsheets.
Early Access — Limited Spots
We’re inviting a small group of design and procurement professionals to test AI product ingestion on their real projects before public launch.
Beta testers receive early access, direct product team feedback, and a first look at the full Spec Hub feature set at launch.
