Predictika · Deutz-Fahr 5 Series tractor orders

An AI sales agent's 5 Series tractor order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a dealer order for Deutz-Fahr 5 Series tractors: the model, the transmission and number of speeds, the Automatic Powershift option, the hydraulic parking brake, the rear hydraulic valves, the front loader kit, and the power, torque and rear lift figures the quote states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public 5 Series brochure and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Deutz-Fahr 5 Series tractors (5095, 5100, 5105, 5115, 5125) with mechanical, HI-LO or HML transmissions: speeds, APS, hydraulic parking brake, rear valves, front loader kit, stated power, torque and rear lift. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the five Deutz-Fahr 5 Series models in the brochure, not just the scenarios shown.

  • Models and figures — 5095 (95 hp, 389 Nm), 5100 (3-cylinder, 102 hp, 417 Nm), 5105 (106 hp, 433 Nm), 5115 (116 hp, 472 Nm) and 5125 (126 hp, 517 Nm). The power, torque and rear lift capacity a quote states are compared with the selected model.
  • Rear lift — 3,600 kg standard with 4,525 kg optional on the 5095, 5100 and 5105; 3,600 kg standard and 4,855 kg optional on the 5115; 4,855 kg standard and 5,410 kg optional on the 5125.
  • Transmissions — mechanical (10 or 20 speeds), HI-LO (20 or 40) and the 3-stage powershift HML (30 or 60); the Automatic Powershift (APS) function is listed for HML only. A mechanical reverse shuttle or the hydraulic PowerShuttle can be chosen.
  • Options — the hydraulic parking brake is offered on the 5115 and 5125 only; rear hydraulic valves are two as standard, three as an option and up to four in total; the hydraulic system is a 55 l/min pump or a 90 l/min double pump; the front loader kit comes as Light or Ready. A loader kit with a mechanical shuttle or the 55 l/min pump goes to a person for approval.

Any 5 Series order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (no public price list was found, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the 5 Series TTV and Platform-cab versions, other Deutz-Fahr series, tyres, ballast, lighting and cab equipment, and whether a loader fits a particular tractor. The approval rule for loader kits is the validator's reading of the brochure's loader text, not a published restriction.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

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 caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
A transmission whose speed choices depend on the transmission typeOnly with care
The speed count is a free choice that has to be limited by the transmission selected, in a rule for each type.
Transmission and speeds are in one request, and the pair is checked on every call.
An option available only on some models, or only with one transmissionOnly with care
Each option needs its own model or transmission restriction, written and maintained one at a time.
The parking brake and the Automatic Powershift are checked against the model and transmission in the same request.
A stated power, torque or rear lift that disagrees with the model and lift version orderedOnly with workarounds
The figures the agent states are free-entry fields, so it takes extra rules that recompute them from the model.
The stated figures travel with the order and are compared with the computed figures on every call.
A loader kit ordered with hydraulics the brochure does not pair it withOnly with workarounds
No rule usually exists; one has to decide whether this is an error, a warning or a question for a person.
The order is sent to approval with a plain-English reason.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.
All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

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.

1The hydraulic parking brake (HPB) is offered only on the 5115 and 5125; the selected model is not one of them.
240 forward speeds are not offered with the selected transmission; the brochure lists 10 or 20 for mechanical, 20 or 40 for HI-LO and 30 or 60 for the 3-stage powershift HML.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a dealer order for Deutz-Fahr 5 Series tractors: the model, the transmission and number of speeds, the Automatic Powershift option, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public 5 Series brochure and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 3 Deutz-Fahr 5105 tractors with the mechanical transmission with 40 speeds, the hydraulic PowerShuttle, the 90 l/min hydraulic pump. The quote states 106 hp, 433 Nm of torque and a rear lift capacity of 4,525 kg. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. 40 forward speeds are not offered with the selected transmission; the brochure lists 10 or 20 for mechanical, 20 or 40 for HI-LO and 30 or 60 for the 3-stage powershift HML. The Automatic Powershift (APS) function is listed only for the HML transmissions; the order puts it on another transmission. The order has 5 rear hydraulic valves; the brochure gives two as standard, three as an option and a total of up to four.
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for a transmission whose speed choices depend on the transmission type, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the forward speeds to 20 and the rear hydraulic valves to 4.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Still blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. The Automatic Powershift (APS) function is listed only for the HML transmissions; the order puts it on another transmission.
  12. Two findings cleared; still blocked on Automatic Powershift needs the HML transmission.
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
  14. The revised request. It changes the transmission to HML 3-stage powershift and the forward speeds to 30.
  15. It calls the validator once more.
  16. This time the validator clears it.
  17. The earlier finding is cleared.
  18. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer.
