Predictika · Mobile computer quotes
An AI sales agent prepares a Datalogic quote for a retail, warehouse or field-service rollout: Memor 20 and Memor 10 mobile computers, single-slot, three-slot and four-slot docks, vehicle docks, pistol-grip handles with rubber boots, Things Management licenses and EASEOFCARE service plans. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of dock slots, power supplies, mounting, accessory requirements, licenses, service coverage, lead time, discount and approval limits, and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.
This validator models Memor 20 and Memor 10 deployments with the accessories and services named in Datalogic's public product and reseller listings, not just the scenarios shown below.
Any rollout of these devices, accessories and services is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Datalogic devices (Skorpio, Falcon, Joya Touch), scanners, spare batteries, taxes and freight. The product and accessory names are real; slot counts, accessory requirements, lead times, plan terms and every price on this page are modeled from comparable rugged mobile computer sales and are illustrative, not Datalogic's.

What this means
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.
| What the validator caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Docks, slots and power supplies that must add up | Only with workarounds Each dock needs a power supply and gives a number of slots, and the devices to be charged must fit. A CPQ lists docks, supplies and devices as separate lines; nothing compares the slots with the devices or the supplies with the docks. | Slots, devices docked, docks and power supplies are computed and compared on every call. |
| An accessory that needs another accessory | Only with care A pistol grip needs a rubber boot, a vehicle dock needs a RAM mount. A bundle or a requires-rule can express each, but each one has to be written and kept current. | Grips, boots, vehicle docks and mounts are checked against each other. |
| Wall mounting that needs plates | Only with workarounds Whether plates are needed depends on a choice made on a different line (wall or table), and on the number of docks of three different kinds. | Mounting choice, docks and plates are checked together. |
| A service plan that cannot cover more than the devices | Only with workarounds The covered units are typed separately from the devices, so a plan can quietly cover more, or fewer, devices than the quote has. | Covered devices are compared with the devices on the quote; partial cover goes to a person. |
| Lead time that depends on size and vehicle docks | Only with workarounds Large rollouts and vehicle docks each add weeks. The date promised to the customer is not tied to any of them. | Lead time is computed from the order and compared with the date the customer needs. |
| A stated total that has to agree with the quote | Only with workarounds Devices, docks, accessories, licenses and a multi-year plan make a total that can drift from what is typed on the quote without anyone noticing. | The total is computed from the choices and compared with the total the quote states. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only with workarounds Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved or a step is completed, so a person often fixes one error and meets the next. | All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in. |
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.
| 1 | The quote includes no Memor 20 or Memor 10, so there is nothing to deploy. |
| 2 | The quote docks 61 devices, and it includes 60 mobile computers. |
| 3 | The quote docks 61 devices, and the docks provide 60 slots. |
| 4 | The quote has 30 docks and 29 power supplies; every dock needs one 18W power supply. |
| 5 | The quote mounts 30 docks on the wall and has 29 mounting plates. |
| 6 | The quote has 21 pistol-grip handles and 20 rubber boots; each grip needs a boot. |
| 7 | The quote has pistol-grip handles and no Memor 20 to fit them to. |
| 8 | The quote has 4 vehicle docks and 3 RAM mounts; each vehicle dock needs one. |
| 9 | The quote manages devices with Things Management and has 59 licenses for 60 devices. |
| 10 | The quote buys service for 61 devices, and it includes 60 mobile computers. |
| 11 | The service plan covers 50 of 60 devices, so a person should confirm that the rest are meant to be uncovered. |
| 12 | The quote has an EASEOFCARE plan and covers no devices with it. |
| 13 | The quote has a 5-year service plan, a long price commitment, so a person should confirm. |
| 14 | The service plan runs 2 years; EASEOFCARE is quoted for 1, 3 or 5 years. |
| 15 | The customer needs the devices in 1 weeks, and the lead time for this order is 2 weeks. |
| 16 | The quote takes a discount of $4,712.51 against $94,250 of list price, above the 5 percent that needs a sales manager. |
| 17 | The quote takes a discount of $9,425.01 against $94,250 of list price, above the 10 percent an agent may offer. |
| 18 | The quote states a total of $94,249.99; the prices give $94,250. |
| 19 | The total is $196,260, above $150,000, so a person should confirm. |
