Predictika · Agricultural telehandlers with attachments

An AI sales agent's telehandler quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for an agricultural telehandler: the model, the attachment, the load and the lift height the job needs, auxiliary hydraulics, the basket kit or the high-speed option, a fleet size and a discount. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the machines and ordering rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Dieci agricultural fixed telehandlers: Mini Agri Smart, Agri Farmer, Agri Star, Agri Plus, Agri Max and Agri Max Power X2, with attachments, auxiliary hydraulics, basket kit and fleet terms. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Dieci agricultural telehandler quotes, not just the scenarios shown below. Prices, attachment weights and several rules are typical rather than published (marked with an asterisk).

  • Models — Mini Agri 20.4 Smart, Agri Farmer 30.7, 30.9, 32.9 and 34.7, Agri Star 37.7, 38.10 and 40.8 EVO2, Agri Plus 40.10 and 42.7 VS EVO2, Agri Max 50.8, 60.9 and 65.8 VS EVO2, 75.10 and 75.10 S, and Agri Max Power X2 50.8, each with its published capacity and maximum lifting height.
  • Attachments — lifting hook, excavation shovel, inert material shovel, grapple, winch, work basket, and pallet forks* and bale spear*, with attachment weights* that reduce the lifting capacity.
  • Options* — auxiliary hydraulic line, basket safety kit, and the 50 km/h travel speed that comes with the HVT1 transmission of the Power X2.
  • Price and terms* — a typical price build-up, dealer discount authority by order size, fleet sign-off, and the stated lifting capacity and stated total compared with what the validator computes.

Any Dieci agricultural fixed telehandler quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: articulated Agri Pivot, construction and rotating telehandlers, load charts by boom angle, financing and dealer logistics. All prices are typical estimates in US dollars, not a Dieci price list; see the fine print at the end of the page.

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
Lifting capacity reduced by the weight of the attachmentOnly with workarounds
The attachment weight and the job load are not usually fields a rule can compare; reps check the load by hand.		Load, model and attachment travel in one request and the capacity left after the attachment is computed on every call.
Lift height the job needs against what the model reachesOnly with care
A rule per model works, but each model has its own height and every new model adds a rule.		The required height is compared with the selected model's published height.
Attachments that need auxiliary hydraulics or a safety kitOnly with care
Each is a pairwise option rule; it works, but it must be written for every attachment.		Attachment and options are in one request and checked together.
Options tied to one model (50 km/h with the Power X2 transmission, winch on smaller models)Only with care
A product rule per option and model; it works but grows with the catalog.		Model and options are checked together.
A stated capacity and total that must match the configurationOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with a computed total, but someone has to write and maintain that comparison.		The stated figures travel with the quote and are compared with the computed ones on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote 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
Click to expand
    
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 load is 8,100 lb and the machine lifts 7,978 lb once the attachment weight is taken off its rated capacity.
2The load of 7,978 lb is 90 percent or more of the 7,978 lb the machine lifts with this attachment; a person should confirm it against the load chart.
3The job needs a lift height of 32.0 feet and the model reaches 31.5 feet.
4A winch is fitted on the Mini Agri and Agri Farmer models, and the selected model is larger.
5A work basket for people needs the basket safety kit, and the quote does not include it.
6A grapple or a work basket needs the auxiliary hydraulic line, and the quote does not include it.
7The basket safety kit is quoted without a work basket.
8The 50 km/h travel speed comes with the HVT1 transmission of the Agri Max Power X2 only.
9The quote has 0 machines.
10A discount of 18 percent is deeper than any sales authority allows.
11A discount of 6 percent is above the 4 percent that this order size allows without sign-off.
12An order for 5 machines is a fleet order that needs commercial sign-off.
13The quote states a lifting capacity of 8,000 lb with the attachment, and the validator computes 7,978 lb.
14The quote states a total of $220,415.00, and the configuration prices to $220,416.00.
15The quote states a total of $220,416.01, and the configuration prices to $220,416.00.
16An order for 6 machines is a fleet order that needs commercial sign-off.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for an agricultural telehandler: the model, the attachment, the load and the lift height the job needs, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the machines and ordering rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote 1 Dieci Agri Farmer 34.7 with a work basket, lifting 1,500 lb to 25.0 feet, with the 50 km/h travel speed. The machine lifts 6,950 lb with this attachment, discount is 0 percent and the total is $102,500.00. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with four findings, all in one answer. The job needs a lift height of 25.0 feet and the model reaches 20.8 feet. A work basket for people needs the basket safety kit, and the quote does not include it. A grapple or a work basket needs the auxiliary hydraulic line, and the quote does not include it. The other one is on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned four 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. 
      
  7. What this shows: for attachments that need auxiliary hydraulics or a safety kit, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the model to Agri Farmer 32.9, the basket safety kit to included, the stated lifting capacity to 6,400 lb and the stated total to 103,600.00.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. A grapple or a work basket needs the auxiliary hydraulic line, and the quote does not include it. The 50 km/h travel speed comes with the HVT1 transmission of the Agri Max Power X2 only.
    12. 
      
  12. Two findings cleared. Still blocking: grapple and basket need auxiliary hydraulics and 50 km/h travel speed is for the Power X2.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the auxiliary hydraulics to included, the 50 km/h travel speed to not included and the stated total to 106,000.00.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The validator also returns the line-item quote, on screen.
    18. 
      
  18. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $106,000.00, matches the quote.
    19. 
      
  19. Four 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. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    20.
