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

An AI sales agent prepares a kitchen quote for the systemat and concept130 lines, with a front, a handle style, a colour, base cabinet height, an island, pocket doors, glass pull-out trays, a discount and a stated order total. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the kitchen range and returns a verdict and every reason.

Scope: Haecker kitchen quotes for the systemat and concept130 lines: fronts, handle or handleless, base cabinet height, RAL and NCS colours, island options, pocket doors, glass pull-out trays, discount and stated total. See everything this validator covers

This validator models kitchen quotes, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Line and front — the systemat fronts (AV 1000, AV 5075, AV 7080, AV 7070 and wood veneer) and the concept130 fronts (VEGAS, LINEA, SCALA and TOSKANA), each belonging to one line, with RAL and NCS colours on the AV 5075 front only.
  • Cabinets and options — base cabinet heights of 715, 780 and 845 mm, handleless on the taller bases, an island with a natural stone front or a pentagonal shape, pocket doors and glass pull-out trays on systemat.
  • Discount and approvals — a discount a sales director must approve, a larger discount that is not allowed, and the pentagonal island that is made on request and needs a person to confirm it.
  • Stated total — the order total stated on the quote against the total computed from the cabinets, options and discount.

Any kitchen quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: appliances, worktops, lighting, delivery and assembly, sideboards and other lines. The line and front names, the base cabinet heights, the RAL and NCS colours on AV 5075, the handleless option, the pocket doors, the pentagonal island, the stone island front and the glass pull-out trays follow public Haecker press material; the prices, the surcharges, which options each line offers, the discount thresholds and the approvals are modeled, not published by Haecker, and the prices are illustrative.

The AI sales agentBuilds the kitchen quote from the conversation and says it is ready.

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 front that belongs to one lineOnly with care
Every front is valid for one line only, so a rule is needed for each front and line pairing, and the list grows with every new front.		The line and the front are fields of one quote and the pairing is checked together with everything else.
Options that depend on the lineOnly with workarounds
Pocket doors, glass trays, the stone island front and the pentagonal island are offered on systemat only, with their own limits on width and count.		Each limit is checked on every call and every failure is reported.
Handleless and colours tied to the base height and frontOnly with workarounds
Handleless needs a taller base cabinet and RAL and NCS colours need one front, so a change in one choice breaks another.		The combinations are checked together, whatever order the choices arrived in.
Discount and made-to-order approvalsOnly with workarounds
A discount band needs a sales director, a higher one is not allowed, and a made-on-request island needs a person to confirm it.		Every threshold is checked on every call and the approvals come back with the blocks.
Stated total against computed totalOnly with workarounds
The total depends on the cabinets, the front, handle, colour, island, doors, trays and discount, so any change has to be recomputed.		The stated total is a field of the quote and is compared with the computed one on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as 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.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a kitchen quote for the systemat and concept130 lines, with a front, a handle style. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the kitchen range and returns a verdict and every reason.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote a concept130 kitchen with the AV 7080 front, grip handles, in a RAL or NCS colour, with 8 base. The quote states an order total of 11,920 euros. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with six findings, all in one answer. The chosen front is not part of the chosen line. Base cabinet height of 700 mm is not offered; the heights are 715, 780 and 845 mm. RAL and NCS special lacquer colours are quoted only on the AV 5075 front. The other three are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned six 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 handleless and colours tied to the base height and front, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the line to systemat, the colour to standard, the base cabinet height to 780 mm, the pocket door width to 240 cm and the stated order total to €10,840.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All six earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Six problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean 10,840 euros quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    14.
