1. A system for replacing an original hose assembly of a work machine, the original hose assembly including an original hose and an original coupling, the system comprising:
a computing device;
a database; and
a server associated with the database, the server including a processor configured via computer-executable instructions to perform a method of identifying a replacement hose assembly, the method comprising:
prompting a user, via the computing device, to select a plurality of hose attributes associated with the original hose of the work machine;
identifying, based on the selected plurality of hose attributes, a replacement hose that has each of the plurality of hose attributes;
prompting the user, via the computing device, to select a plurality of coupling attributes associated with the original coupling of the work machine;
identifying, based on the selected plurality of hose attributes and the selected plurality of coupling attributes, a replacement coupling having each of the plurality of coupling attributes and that is compatible with the identified replacement hose;
generating a bill of materials for the replacement hose assembly based on the identified replacement hose and the identified replacement coupling; and
displaying the bill of materials.
