An AI sales agent's Wavemaker 5G router quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Inseego Wavemaker 5G routers: router model, carrier, installation site, power, antennas, mesh extenders, Inseego Connect and SD EDGE subscriptions and a discount. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product line and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.

Scope: Inseego Wavemaker 5G router orders (FX4200, FX4100, FX3110, FX3100, FX2000, FX2000e, FG2000, FG2000e, FW3000, FW2000, S2000e) with the X700 mesh extender, Inseego Connect and SD EDGE. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Wavemaker 5G router quotes, not just the scenarios shown below. Items marked with an asterisk (*) are illustrative.

  • Routers and carriers — eleven Wavemaker models, each offered for particular carriers (for example the FX4100 for T-Mobile, the FX3100 for T-Mobile or UScellular, and the unlocked multi-carrier FX3110), with Wi-Fi client limits, dual-SIM failover and the gateways that have no Wi-Fi.
  • Site, power and antennas — outdoor-rated gateways, the S2000e outdoors in a weatherproof enclosure* and in vehicles, PoE injectors* for gateways powered over Ethernet, and external antenna sets* of at least 4 dBi.
  • Mesh, subscriptions and discount — the X700 mesh extender with the FX4100, Inseego Connect and SD EDGE subscriptions in 1, 3 or 5-year terms, a quantity discount that goes to approval above the standard, and a stated total compared with the priced lines.

Any Wavemaker router quote that touches these products and rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: MiFi and other hotspots, the FX3200 and older models, carrier data plans, Inseego Ignite channel terms, taxes, shipping and regional variants. Prices and most rules are typical for this kind of product rather than published by Inseego (see the note at the end).

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
Routers that are offered for only some carriersOnly with care
A product rule per router and carrier. It works, but each new model or carrier certification is another set of rules to maintain.
The router and carrier are in one request and every pairing is checked together.
Outdoor, vehicle and power requirements that depend on the router modelOnly with workarounds
The enclosure, PoE injector and antenna requirements depend on the router on one line and the site on another, so they need cross-line rules that interact with each other.
Router, site and accessories are in one request, so every conflict is found whatever order the choices arrive in.
Mesh extender limits and Wi-Fi client limits by modelOnly with care
Each limit needs its own comparison against a quantity; they are easy to leave out when a new model is added.
Limits are looked up from the router and compared with the quantities on every call.
Quantity discounts with a hard cap and an approval bandOnly with care
A discount schedule plus an approval rule for each band; the cap and the standard have to be kept in step.
The standard for the quantity and the cap are computed on every call; above the standard goes to approval, above the cap is blocked.
A stated total that must equal the priced linesOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with the computed total, but someone has to write and maintain that comparison.
The stated total travels with the quote and is compared with the computed net total 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

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 selected router is not offered for the selected carrier; the FX4,100 is for T-Mobile, the FX3,100 for T-Mobile or UScellular and the S2,000e for AT&T or T-Mobile.
2The unlocked multi-carrier option is sold only with the FX3,110; this router is ordered for a named carrier.
3Only the outdoor-rated FW3,000 and FW2,000 gateways, or the S2,000e in a weatherproof enclosure, can be installed outdoors.
4An outdoor S2,000e needs a weatherproof enclosure for every unit, and the order has too few enclosures.
5Only the S2,000e industrial gateway is built for vehicle installation.

15SIM failover needs a dual-SIM router (FX3100, FX3110, FX2,000e, FG2,000e or S2,000e).
16SD EDGE is added on top of an Inseego Connect subscription, and the order has none.
17SD EDGE is offered on the FX4200, FX4100, FX3,110 and FX3,100 routers only.

20A discount of 20 percent is above the 5 percent that applies to this quantity; a person should approve it.

23The order has 0 routers; at least 1 is needed.
24The quote states a total of $9,100.00; the priced lines give $9,101.00.

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 Inseego Wavemaker 5G routers: router model, carrier, installation site, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product line and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 40 Inseego Wavemaker FX4100 routers for AT&T, installed indoors, with 150 Wavemaker X700 mesh extenders and an Inseego Connect subscription for 3 years with SD EDGE. Each router serves up to 100 Wi-Fi clients. The rest of the request is on screen. The quote states a total of $74,014.50.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. The selected router is not offered for the selected carrier; the FX4,100 is for T-Mobile, the FX3,100 for T-Mobile or UScellular and the S2,000e for AT&T or T-Mobile. 150 X700 mesh extenders are quoted for 40 routers; the limit is 3 per router.
  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 routers that are offered for only some carriers, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the carrier to T-Mobile, the Wavemaker X700 mesh extenders to 120 and the stated total to $67,488.00.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with Inseego Wavemaker FX4100 5G router and Inseego Wavemaker X700 mesh extender; the other two lines are on screen.
  13. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $67,488.00, matches the quote.
  14. Two problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $67,488.00 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
