An AI sales agent's DN Series ATM quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent configures one or more DN Series ATMs for a bank: the model, where it is installed, the display, the safe rating, the dispensing, recycling and acceptance cassettes, the denominations and note bundle, peripherals such as the fingerprint reader and statement printer, the check deposit and coin modules, the sidecars and the site temperature range. The validator checks the whole quote against the public product cards and returns every problem at once.

Scope: DN Series ATMs (DN 100D to DN 600V): placement, display, safe, cassettes, denominations, note bundle, peripherals, modules, sidecars and climate. See everything this validator covers

This validator models one DN Series quote at a time, based on the public Diebold Nixdorf DN Series product cards and family brochure, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Model and placement — which DN Series models are listed for lobby, through-the-wall, walk-up, drive-up, drive-up island and teller placements, and which displays (15 inch, 19 inch landscape or portrait, 10.1 inch) and safe ratings each product card lists.
  • Cassettes and notes — separate dispensing cassettes on dispensers, recycling and acceptance cassettes on recyclers built on the RM4V engine, the DM7V and RM4V denomination limits, the note bundle limit per transaction for each model, and the cassette total the quote states against the units quoted.
  • Peripherals and modules — fingerprint reader, driver license scanner, statement or passbook printer, journal printer, check deposit and coin dispense modules, and the DN 200 series rule that lists check deposit or coin dispense, not both.
  • Sidecars and site — the coin sidecar and the Interactive Teller Module sidecar by model, and the DN 230A operating temperature ranges with and without the AC and heater kits. Items the cards leave unclear (display orientation on the DN 500VA and 550VA, the coin sidecar on the DN 200A) go to a person for approval.

Any DN Series quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Diebold Nixdorf does not publish list prices, so this page shows no price build-up), other Diebold Nixdorf product lines, software, services, and details that appear only in documents that are not public.

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
Options that exist on some models and not othersOnly with workarounds
Placement, display, safe, peripherals, modules and sidecars are each listed for some models and not others, so a rules-based CPQ needs a compatibility table or one rule per model.
The model groups are listed once and every rule reads them, so a new combination needs no new rule.
Cassette counts that depend on the engineOnly with care
A recycler takes recycling and acceptance cassettes and no separate dispensing cassettes, while a dispenser takes the reverse, each with its own limits.
The cassette counts, the engine limits and the stated total are all checked together on every call.
Totals that must match the unitsOnly with care
The quote states a cassette total, which has to equal the cassettes per unit times the number of units.
The total is computed by the validator and compared with the stated figure.
Brochure-only and unclear itemsOnly with workarounds
Where a card is silent or contradicts the brochure, a rules engine either blocks or allows silently.
These cases come back as approvals a person must confirm, with the reason stated.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the configuration 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 were made 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 quote has 0 units; at least 1 is needed.
2The product cards and brochure do not list this model for the selected placement (lobby, through-the-wall, walk-up, drive-up, drive-up island or teller).
3The selected display is not listed on the product card for this model; the 15 inch display is on every ATM, 19 inch only on some, portrait only on the DN 200, 300 and 400 series, and the DN 600V has a 10.1 inch touch display.
4The brochure lists a 15 or 19 inch screen for the DN 500VA and 550VA without stating the orientation; a person should confirm the 19 inch option.
5The selected safe rating is not among the safes listed on the product card for this model.
6The DN 230A card lists -40 to +50 C with AC and heater, -40 to +40 C with heater only and 0 to +40 C with neither; the site range is -10 to 35 C.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent configures one or more DN Series ATMs for a bank: the model, where it is installed, the display, and more. The validator checks the whole quote against the public product cards and returns every problem at once.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 3 DN200V with a journal printer, a check deposit module, a coin dispense module for a lobby installation with the 19 inch portrait display and the CEN2 safe. Each unit has 2 dispensing, 4 recycling and 1 acceptance cassettes, 6 denominations and a bundle of 150 notes per transaction. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. This model is a recycler built on the RM4V engine with recycling and acceptance cassettes; the quote has 2 separate dispensing cassettes. The family brochure lists check deposit or coin dispense for the DN 200 series, not both.
  6. The validator returned two 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 cassette counts that depend on the engine, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the dispensing cassettes per unit to 0, the coin dispense module to no and the stated cassette total to 15.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
  13. Two problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer.
