Predictika · S.KI tipper semi-trailer orders
An AI sales agent prepares an order for an S.KI tipper semi-trailer from public manufacturer documents, with a body, a system length, a side wall height, a rear wall and a promised volume. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the published rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
This validator models orders for the S.KI tipper semi-trailer with a rounded steel body (S.KI SOLID) or an aluminium box body (S.KI LIGHT), not just the scenarios shown below.
Any order for these tipper semi-trailers that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (Schmitz Cargobull publishes none, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the other trailer lines (curtainsiders, box bodies, container chassis, truck-mounted M.KI tippers), chassis, axle and tyre options, the on-board weighing system and service contracts.

What this means
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 caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| A side wall height the body is not offered with | Only with care Each body and length has its own list of heights, so it takes a table or one rule per combination, kept up to date by hand. | The body, length and height are in one request and compared with the manufacturer's table on every call. |
| A promised volume above what the body holds | Only with workarounds The volume depends on body, length, height and rear wall, and the manufacturer lists a range; a rules engine needs a lookup table and an extra rule for the range. | The promised volume is part of the request and is compared with the listed range on every call. |
| A rear wall, insulation or express option the body does not offer | Only with care Option limits (hydraulic flap on steel only, express on one body only) are separate rules that need updating when the product line changes. | Options are chosen in the same request and checked against the body on every call. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only 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. |
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.
| 1 | A side wall height of 1,350 mm is not listed for this body and system length in the Schmitz Cargobull volume overview. |
| 2 | The quote promises 28.5 m3; the largest volume listed for this body, length and side wall height is 28.4 m3. |
| 3 | The quote promises 28.4 m3; this body holds between 26.9 and 28.4 m3 depending on the rear wall, so a person should confirm the volume with the manufacturer data for the chosen rear wall. |
| 4 | The quote promises 27.5 m3; this body holds between 26.9 and 28.4 m3 depending on the rear wall, so a person should confirm the volume with the manufacturer data for the chosen rear wall. |
| 5 | A side wall height of 2,300 mm is not listed for this body and system length in the Schmitz Cargobull volume overview. |
| 6 | The quote promises 59.0 m3; the largest volume listed for this body, length and side wall height is 58.9 m3. |
| 7 | The 2,500 mm side wall is marked in the overview as for countries without a 4 m height restriction, and the destination has one. |
| 8 | The S.KI 7.2 steel round body with a 1,300 mm side wall is not listed with a combination door. |
| 9 | The hydraulic rear wall flap is listed for the rounded steel tipper only, not for the aluminium box body. |
| 10 | Express delivery in 7 production days is listed only for the S.KI SOLID steel round body of 24 m3 with a 1,460 mm side wall. |
| 11 | The express S.KI SOLID lists an internal or external pendulum tailgate (or a combination door); a hydraulic rear flap is not listed. |
| 12 | The insulation brief lists pendulum flaps (internal or external, with asphalt slide) and, for steel, a hydraulic flap; a combination door is not listed, so a person should confirm it. |
| 13 | Bulk material with a high moisture content calls for a surface-mounted tailgate with an all-round rubber seal; the selected rear wall is another type. |
| 14 | Aluminium troughs are not suitable, or only to a limited extent, for grain sizes from 200 mm; a person should confirm the load. |
| 15 | For loads containing acids or bases, soft tops without a roof-like structure are not recommended; the quote has a roll tarpaulin. |
| 16 | At high tipping frequencies the steel tipper body is recommended in any case; the quote has an aluminium box body. |
| 17 | The quote promises 36.0 m3; the largest volume listed for this body, length and side wall height is 35.7 m3. |
| 18 | The quote promises 46.0 m3; this body holds between 44.8 and 49.7 m3 depending on the rear wall, so a person should confirm the volume with the manufacturer data for the chosen rear wall. |
