An AI sales agent's RV leveling system order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for RV leveling systems: the system, the RV it goes on, the weight and length, who installs it, add-ons and accessories, and the number of units. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of fit, limits and volume tiers, and returns a verdict, every reason, a quote and the figures it computed.

Scope: orders for Lippert leveling systems (Ground Control TT, Ground Control for 5th Wheels in 4-point and 6-point, Level Up Hydraulic and Power Gear Hydraulic) with the OneControl add-on, tongue jacks and the Strong Arm stabilizer kit. See everything this validator covers

This validator models leveling system orders, not just the scenarios shown below. The product names and the accessory prices are from Lippert's public pages; the fit limits, capacities, installation labor, volume discounts and the leveling system prices are modeled from comparable products and are not Lippert or LCI published rules or prices.

  • System and RV — each system is for certain RV types (travel trailer, 5th wheel, Class A or Class C motorhome); the travel trailer system mounts on an I-beam frame.
  • Weight and length — the loaded weight and the length must be within what the system is modeled to take; weight above 90 percent of capacity goes to a person.
  • Installation and add-ons — hydraulic systems are dealer installed, OneControl goes with the electric systems, tongue jacks with travel trailers, and the stabilizer kit with travel trailers and 5th wheels.
  • Price — the system, installation and add-on prices get a volume discount by number of units; accessories do not. The total is compared with the total the agent states, and OEM volumes of 200 units or more go to the sales team.

Any leveling order that touches these rules is in scope, not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Lippert and LCI products, other jacks and stabilizers, chassis-specific fit, freight and taxes. The quote uses illustrative prices for the leveling systems, installation and OneControl, because Lippert does not publish them; only the accessory prices come from Lippert's public 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
A system that does not fit the RV typeOnly with care
A product rule per system and RV type. It works, but every new system or RV type adds rules to keep in step.
Fit is looked up for the system and the RV type on every call.
Weight and length limits that differ by systemOnly with care
A limit table per system. It works, but the limit has to be compared with values entered on a different step.
The limits are looked up from the system and compared with the RV in the same request.
Installation, add-ons and accessories that depend on the system and RVOnly with workarounds
Each add-on is allowed only with some systems or RV types, so a rule needs values from several lines at once.
System, RV, installer and every add-on are in one request and checked together.
Volume discounts that apply to some lines and not othersOnly with care
Tiered price rules work, but the discount has to be limited to the right lines and the units counted first.
The units, the tier, the discounted and undiscounted lines and the total are computed together and compared with the stated total.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order 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 order; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

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 RV leveling systems: the system, the RV it goes on, the weight and length, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of fit, limits and volume tiers, and returns a verdict, every reason, a quote and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote 12 Ground Control for 5th Wheels (4-point) units for dealer installation on a 5th wheel. The quote states a total of $48,371.40. 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. The RV weighs 22,000 lb loaded; this system is rated for 18,000 lb. The RV is 36 ft long; this system is for RVs up to 34 ft. A tongue jack is quoted with travel trailers only.
  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 weight and length limits that differ by system, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the leveling system to Ground Control for 5th Wheels (6-point) and the stated total to $57,947.40.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. Still blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. A tongue jack is quoted with travel trailers only.
  12. Three findings cleared. Still blocking: tongue jack only for travel trailers.
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
  14. The revised request. It changes the tongue jack to none and the stated total to $54,348.00.
  15. It calls the validator once more.
  16. This time the validator clears it.
  17. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with Ground Control for 5th Wheels (6-point) and Dealer installation; the other line is on screen.
  18. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's total, $54,348.00, matches the order.
  19. Four problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean $54,348.00 order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
