Predictika · Cellular routers for vehicles

An AI sales agent's vehicle router order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for vehicle cellular routers: the router model and radio, cellular modules and Wi-Fi radios, power supplies and accessory kits, antennas, Digi 360 coverage and Digi Remote Manager add-ons. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the Digi router line and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Digi transportation cellular routers (TX40, TX54, TX64 and TX64 Rail) with accessories, Digi 360 terms and Digi Remote Manager add-ons. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for the Digi TX40, TX54, TX64 and TX64 Rail cellular routers, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Router build — the radio (5G or LTE-Advanced), the number of cellular modules and Wi-Fi radios each model can carry, and the end-of-life LTE-Advanced TX64.
  • Accessories — a power supply and an accessory kit for every router (accessories are not included with the router), GNSS dead-reckoning antennas, and Digi eSIM accessories.
  • Coverage and services — Digi 360 extensions on a new order and renewals on a renewal order, the Digi Remote Manager tier needed for Digi Containers, WAN Bonding and Mobile VPN, public-safety support, and a review for very large deployments.

Any order for these routers that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (this page shows none, so it produces no price build-up), the TX65, the older WR series, other Digi product lines, carrier data plans and professional services. Many limits are modeled from comparable cellular router products and are not Digi statements: the module and Wi-Fi limits of the TX40 and TX54, the term lengths and the one-year base Digi 360 term, the Remote Manager tier needed for add-on services, WAN Bonding needing two modules, one eSIM accessory per module, and the review threshold of 250 routers.

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 model and radio that Digi does not offer together, or an end-of-life versionOnly with care
Each model has its own list of radios and a status, so every combination needs a list rule kept in step with the catalog.
Model, radio and status are in one request and checked together.
Cellular modules and Wi-Fi radios beyond what a model can carryOnly with care
The limit differs by model, so each model needs its own range rule.
Model, modules and radios are checked together on every call.
Accessories that must be ordered with every routerOnly with workarounds
A power supply and a kit for each router are separate lines whose quantities must be compared with the router count, which takes cross-line rules.
Router, power supply, kit and antenna counts are in one request and compared together.
Digi 360 terms that do not fit a new or renewal orderOnly with workarounds
Extensions apply to new orders and renewals to renewal orders, with different allowed lengths, so it takes several linked rules.
Order type, extension years and renewal years are checked together, and the stated coverage is compared with the computed one.
Add-on services that need a higher Remote Manager tier or two modulesOnly with workarounds
The requirement depends on a tier on one line and a service or module count on another, and a missing match is usually caught late.
Tier, services and modules are in one request and every dependency is checked together.

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 an order for vehicle cellular routers: the router model and radio, cellular modules and Wi-Fi radios, power supplies and accessory kits, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the Digi router line 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 order 300 Digi TX64 Rail routers with 5G, 2 cellular modules and 2 Wi-Fi radios each, for the European region. The order states 600 cellular modules in total and 4 years of Digi 360 coverage. The rest of the request is on screen.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with three findings and one approval, all in one answer. A new order takes Digi 360 extensions of 2 or 4 years and a renewal order takes renewals of 1, 3 or 5 years; the order has 0 extension years and 3 renewal years on a new order. Digi Containers, WAN Bonding and Mobile VPN need the Premier Digi Remote Manager tier; the order has the Standard tier. The order states 4 years of Digi 360 coverage; the order comes to 1.
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings and one approval 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 order are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for digi 360 terms that do not fit a new or renewal order, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the digi 360 extension to 2 years, the Digi Remote Manager tier to premier and the stated digi 360 years as to 3. It removes the digi 360 renewal.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
  12. The three blocking findings are cleared; one approval remains for a person: large deployment to review.
  13. Four problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and the corrected order now goes to a person for approval. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
