Predictika · Commercial refrigeration walk-ins

An AI sales agent's walk-in cooler or freezer order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for a Master-Bilt QS Series walk-in: temperature, indoor or outdoor, floor, size, door width and options, for a customer with a storage need and a site. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against the sizes, matching refrigeration systems and option rules in Master-Bilt's public QS Series documents and returns a verdict and every finding at once.

Scope: Master-Bilt QS Series walk-in coolers and freezers with self-contained Capsule Pak ECO refrigeration: 12 sizes, indoor, floorless and outdoor models, 26, 30 and 36 inch doors, and the options the QS documents list. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for QS Series walk-ins as described in the Master-Bilt documents it was built from, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Model combinations — floorless QS models (74 Series) are indoor coolers only; outdoor models are supplied with a floor; a freezer needs a floor. The 12 sizes the spec sheet tabulates, from 6 x 6 to 10 x 14 feet, with the capacity each holds in cubic feet.
  • Matching refrigeration system — the Capsule Pak ECO system the spec sheet matches to each size, temperature and location, and whether it is a 230-volt model (the larger freezer systems) that needs a 230-volt supply at the site.
  • Options and site conditions — door rain hood and air deflector kit on outdoor models only, electric vaporizer on indoor models only, the heater kit for an indoor cooler below 32 degrees F, the -20 degrees F limit of the outdoor controls, floor load up to 800 pounds per square foot, door widths, and the clearance the system needs above (4 inches) and beside (24 inches). Ventilation below 200 cfm and sizes the spec sheet does not tabulate go to a person.

Any QS Series walk-in order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Master-Bilt publishes none, so this validator produces no price build-up), Quick Ship, Ready-Bilt and Bilt2Spec walk-ins, remote refrigeration systems, shelving, and other Master-Bilt products. Where Master-Bilt documents disagree (for example the 10 x 14 freezer system), the validator asks a person rather than choosing.

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
Model combinations that do not existOnly with care
A freezer without a floor, or an outdoor walk-in without one, is not offered; a CPQ needs a product rule for each combination and a new model adds more.		The temperature, location and floor are part of the model, so every combination is checked together.
Refrigeration system chosen by size, temperature and locationOnly with care
The spec sheet matches a Capsule Pak ECO system to each of 12 sizes in each of five temperature and location groups, and the groups do not follow one pattern; this is a large decision table to build and keep right.		The table is part of the model; the system follows from the choices on every call.
A system that needs power the site may not haveOnly with workarounds
The larger freezer systems are 230-volt models. Checking that against what the site supplies means linking a derived system to a site fact, which is usually done with a manual question or a note.		The system found for the order is compared with the site supply in the same call.
Cold sitesOnly with workarounds
An indoor cooler below 32 degrees F needs a heater kit, and outdoor controls stop at -20 degrees F; both depend on a site temperature that is not a product choice.		The site temperature is an input like any other, and both rules read it.
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 quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1Floorless QS Series models (the 74 Series) are coolers only; a freezer needs a model with a floor.
2Floorless QS Series models are indoor only; an outdoor walk-in is supplied with a floor.
3QS Series door widths are 26, 30 or 36 inches; the order has 28 inches.
4The door rain hood is an option for outdoor models only; this walk-in is indoor.
5The condensing unit air deflector kit is an option for outdoor models only; this walk-in is indoor.
6The electric vaporizer is an option for indoor models only; this walk-in is outdoor.
7The customer needs a floor rated for 801 pounds per square foot; the QS Series floor supports up to 800.
8The customer needs 275 cubic feet of storage; this size holds 270.
9The matching Capsule Pak ECO system for this walk-in is a 230-volt model and the site has only 115 volts.
10Outdoor QS Series walk-ins have -20 degrees F ambient controls; the site gets as low as -21 degrees F.
11An indoor cooler below 32 degrees F ambient needs the heater kit; the site gets as low as 20 degrees F and the order has no heater kit.
12The refrigeration system needs at least 4 inches of clearance above; the site has 3 inches.
13The refrigeration system needs at least 24 inches of clearance on each side; the site has 23 inches.
14The quote states 400 cubic feet of capacity; this size holds 372.
15This size is drawn in the QS Series floor plans but the spec sheet gives no capacity or matching refrigeration system for it; a person should confirm it with the factory.
16For 10 x 14 freezers the spec sheet says two Capsule Pak ECO systems ship and the flyer says a remote Split-Pak system ships; a person should confirm which with the factory.
17The factory recommends 200 cfm of fresh air around the condensing unit of an indoor walk-in; the site has 150 cfm.
18The order has 0 walk-ins; an order needs at least 1.

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 a Master-Bilt QS Series walk-in: temperature, indoor or outdoor, floor, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against the sizes, matching refrigeration systems and option rules in Master-Bilt's public QS Series documents and returns a verdict and every finding at once.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote one 10 ft by 12 ft indoor cooler walk-in with a floor, with a 36 inch door, for a customer that needs 650 cubic feet of storage. For the site, the lowest temperature is 20 degrees F. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. An indoor cooler below 32 degrees F ambient needs the heater kit; the site gets as low as 20 degrees F and the order has no heater kit. The quote states 700 cubic feet of capacity; this size holds 731.
    6. 
      
  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. 
      
  7. What this shows: for a system that needs power the site may not have, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the stated capacity to 731 cubic feet. It sets the heater kit to yes.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    13. 
      
  13. Two problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean 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.
