Predictika · Camera monitor system orders

An AI sales agent's MirrorEye order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for the Stoneridge MirrorEye camera monitor system on a retrofit, the Freightliner Cascadia MirrorCam program or the Volvo VNL Camera Monitor System program, with displays, optional cameras, driver-assist options and a discount. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of how those choices fit together and returns a verdict, every reason and the camera count it computed.

Scope: One Stoneridge MirrorEye order: program, vehicle, displays, optional Class V camera, Detroit Assurance, Side Guard Assist 2, trailer panning, mirror delete, discount and stated camera count. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Stoneridge MirrorEye orders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Programs — the aftermarket retrofit, the factory Freightliner Cascadia MirrorCam program and the factory Volvo VNL Camera Monitor System program, each with its own model-year floor and vehicle classes.
  • Displays and cameras — two or three in-cab displays and an optional Class V camera, which needs the third display and is not offered on the Volvo program.
  • Driver-assist options — Detroit Assurance and Side Guard Assist 2, which belong to the Cascadia program, with Side Guard Assist 2 coming with Detroit Assurance.
  • Trailers, steering and mirrors — automatic trailer-length panning (single trailers only), left-hand drive for the factory programs and mirror delete, which is a factory-program choice.
  • Discount and fleet — a discount above 5 percent needing sales manager approval, a block above 10 percent, and installation scheduling for large orders.
  • Stated camera count — the camera count the order states against the count the configuration has.

Any Stoneridge MirrorEye order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: Orlaco off-highway and bus products and other OEM programs. No prices are modeled.

The AI sales agentBuilds the MirrorEye order from the conversation with the fleet 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
Options that exist on one program onlyOnly with care
Detroit Assurance, Side Guard Assist 2 and the Class V camera are offered on some programs and not others, so every option needs a rule that reads the program.		The program and every option are in one request and are checked against each other on every call.
Model years that differ by programOnly with care
The Cascadia program starts at model year 2025 and the Volvo program at 2024, so each program needs its own year rule.		The program and the model year are fields of the request and are checked together on every call.
Options that depend on each otherOnly with care
The Class V camera needs the third display, Side Guard Assist 2 needs Detroit Assurance and panning is not for doubles, so each dependency is its own rule that reads another choice.		Every option is in the same request and the dependencies are checked together on every call.
A stated camera count that must match the configurationOnly with workarounds
The count is two cameras plus one for the Class V camera, so a separate rule is needed to recompute it and compare it with the stated figure.		The stated count is a field of the request and is compared with the computed count on every call.
A discount that is approved in one band and blocked in anotherOnly with workarounds
Above 5 percent a manager approves and above 10 percent the order is blocked, so a block rule and an approval rule have to be kept in step.		The discount is checked against both thresholds in the same pass, and blocks and approvals come back together.
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
Click to expand
    
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.

    
1The Volvo VNL Camera Monitor System program is modeled without a Class V camera option.
2The Class V camera view needs the third in-cab display; the order has two displays.
3The factory programs are for left-hand-drive North American trucks; right-hand drive is retrofit only.
4Detroit Assurance is a Freightliner Cascadia option; it cannot be ordered on this program.
5Side Guard Assist 2 alerts on the displays are part of the Freightliner Cascadia program only.
6Side Guard Assist 2 comes with Detroit Assurance; the order has no Detroit Assurance.
7Automatic trailer-length panning is modeled for single trailers only, not doubles.
8The fifth-generation Cascadia program is for model year 2025 and later; the order is for 2024.
9The new Volvo VNL program is for model year 2024 and later; the order is for 2023.
10The order is for a vehicle class that this program does not cover (factory programs are Class 8; retrofit is Class 7 and 8).
11A Class 7 retrofit needs a fitment check of the camera arm mounting on the cab.
12A retrofit keeps the truck as delivered with its mirrors; removing the mirrors is a factory-program choice.
13The order states 3 cameras, but the configuration has 2.
14A discount of 8 percent is above 5 percent and needs sales manager approval.
15A discount of 11 percent is above the 10 percent limit.
16An order of 100 trucks needs an installation schedule to be confirmed.

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 the Stoneridge MirrorEye camera monitor system on a retrofit, the Freightliner Cascadia MirrorCam program or the Volvo VNL Camera Monitor System program. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of how those choices fit together and returns a verdict, every reason and the camera count it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote 1 truck on the Volvo VNL Camera Monitor System program, Class 8, left-hand drive, model year 2024, with three in-cab displays and single 53-foot trailers. The order states 3 cameras per truck. 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. The Volvo VNL Camera Monitor System program is modeled without a Class V camera option. Detroit Assurance is a Freightliner Cascadia option; it cannot be ordered on this program. Side Guard Assist 2 alerts on the displays are part of the Freightliner Cascadia program only.
    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 order are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for options that exist on one program only, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the program to Freightliner Cascadia MirrorCam and the model year to 2,025.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
