An AI sales agent's Daily chassis cab quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for an IVECO Daily chassis cab or crew cab: the wheelbase, single or twin wheel, the gross vehicle weight, the body the customer wants fitted, the engine and gearbox, and the limits it says the chassis has. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the brochure's tables and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: IVECO Daily chassis cab and crew cab (MY2024 brochure): wheelbases, single or twin wheel, gross vehicle weight and body length ranges, engine and gearbox. See everything this validator covers

This validator models a quote for one IVECO Daily chassis cab or crew cab, based on the public IVECO Daily brochure (model year 2024), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Chassis — the seven wheelbases (3,000, 3,450, 3,750, 4,100, 4,350, 4,750 and 5,100 mm), single or twin wheel (single wheel is listed only up to 4,100 mm), and chassis cab or crew cab (the crew cab is not listed at 3,000 mm). A wheelbase outside the list is blocked.
  • Weight — the lowest and highest gross vehicle weight the brochure lists for each wheelbase and cab, between 3,500 and 7,200 kg; the single wheel chassis cab is described as a 3.5 tonne vehicle.
  • Body length — the shortest and longest body the brochure lists for each wheelbase and wheel type. The brochure calls these the maximum theoretical body fit, based on the equipment.
  • Engine, gearbox and payload — the 2.3-litre F1A engines (120, 140 and 160 hp), the 3.0-litre F1C engines (160, 180 and 210 hp) and the 136 hp CNG engine, with the manual or Hi-Matic automatic gearbox: the 120 hp engine is listed with the manual gearbox only and the 210 hp engine with Hi-Matic only. The chassis cab payload is checked against the 1,700 kg (single wheel) and 5,000 kg (twin wheel) the brochure gives.

Any IVECO Daily chassis cab or crew cab quote that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the brochure has none, so this page shows no price build-up), vans, minibuses, the 4x4, the electric eDaily, factory-built bodies and body equipment, other model years and other markets, and which engine suits which weight, which the brochure does not tabulate.

The AI sales agentBuilds the chassis 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
Combinations that are not offered: single wheel beyond 4,100 mm, a crew cab at 3,000 mmOnly with workarounds
Availability depends on the wheelbase, the wheel type and the cab together, so it needs a compatibility matrix or a stack of cross-option rules to keep in step with the brochure.		The three choices arrive together and the combination is checked with everything else.
Gross vehicle weight range that moves with wheelbase and cabOnly with workarounds
The lowest and highest weight depend on two other choices (for example 6,000 to 7,200 kg for a crew cab at 4,750 mm but 5,200 to 7,200 kg for a chassis cab), so each combination needs its own limits.		The range is looked up from the wheelbase and cab on every call and compared with the weight in the quote.
Body length range by wheelbase and wheel typeOnly with workarounds
Seven wheelbases by two wheel types, each with a shortest and a longest body, and a single wheel chassis that is not offered on the longer wheelbases at all.		The range is looked up on every call, so a body that is too long or too short is named with the limit.
Longest body and weight ceiling the quote says the chassis hasOnly with care
A stated figure is a free-entry field; a rule can compare it with the table, but only if someone builds and maintains that rule for every wheelbase.		The stated figures travel with the quote and are compared with the brochure's 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 person 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.

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 IVECO Daily chassis cab or crew cab: the wheelbase, single or twin wheel, the gross vehicle weight, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the brochure's tables 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 an IVECO Daily twin wheel crew cab on a 4,750 mm wheelbase. The quote says the wheelbase goes up to 7,200 kg gross. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. A gross vehicle weight of 5,500 kg is below the 6,000 kg minimum for this cab on a 4,750 mm wheelbase. A body length of 6,300 mm is longer than the 6,190 mm maximum for a twin wheel vehicle on a 4,750 mm wheelbase. The 210 hp engine is offered only with the Hi-Matic automatic gearbox.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three 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 gross vehicle weight range that moves with wheelbase and cab, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the engine to 210 hp, Hi-Matic automatic gearbox and the gross vehicle weight to 6,000.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. A body length of 6,300 mm is longer than the 6,190 mm maximum for a twin wheel vehicle on a 4,750 mm wheelbase.
    12. 
      
  12. Two findings cleared; still blocked on body longer than the range.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the body length to 6,190. It sets the stated longest body to 6,190.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    18. 
      
  18. Three 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.
    19.
