An AI sales agent's Enterprise ERP quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Tyler Enterprise ERP for a county, city or school district: the modules, deployment, users, SSO, API and sandboxes, implementation, a term and a first-year total. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public product description and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.

Scope: Tyler Enterprise ERP (powered by Munis) subscription quotes for cities, counties, school districts and special districts: Financial Management, Human Resources Management, Procurement, Revenue Management, Tax Billing & Collection, Utility Billing, ERP for Schools, Assets Mobile, Inventory Mobile and electronic bill payment. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for Tyler Enterprise ERP, not just the scenarios shown below. The module names, the add-on and the deployment options are on the public product listings; prices, size bands and every module dependency are modeled from comparable public-sector ERP products and are labelled that way.

  • Modules — Financial Management, Human Resources Management (payroll), Procurement, Revenue Management, Tax Billing & Collection, Utility Billing, ERP for Schools, Assets Mobile and Inventory Mobile, with electronic bill payment as an add-on.
  • Deployment and options — cloud, on-premise or hybrid; named users; single sign-on, API access and up to three sandboxes; implementation services; a term of 1, 3 or 5 years.
  • Who it is for — cities, counties, school districts and special districts, priced by the population or enrollment served.
  • What the validator checks — which modules need which others, which are for school districts only or not for them, cloud-only options on an on-premise quote, payroll employees against the payroll module, sandboxes, term, discount, and the first-year total and module count the quote states.
  • Approvals — hybrid hosting, a 1-year term with five or more modules, a discount above 8 percent and a first-year price above $1,500,000 go to a person.

Any Tyler Enterprise ERP quote that touches these modules and rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: Tyler's other product lines (public safety, courts and justice, permitting and licensing, and others), third-party integrations, taxes and travel. Tyler does not publish prices, so every price on this page is illustrative, and the module dependencies and size bands are modeled from comparable products.

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
Modules that depend on other modulesOnly with care
Tax Billing & Collection on Revenue Management, Inventory Mobile on Procurement and every module on Financial Management are bundle rules; each is written once and has to be kept in step as modules are added.		Every dependency is checked against the modules quoted, with its reason.
Modules that depend on the kind of customerOnly with workarounds
ERP for Schools for school districts only and no utility or tax billing for them mean the module list has to change with the customer type, or a rule has to hold the table.		Customer type and modules are in one request and are checked together.
Options that exist in the cloud onlyOnly with workarounds
Electronic bill payment and sandboxes depend on the deployment as well as on other modules, which takes a rule across three fields.		Deployment, add-on and sandboxes are checked together.
Payroll employees that go with the payroll moduleOnly with care
An employee count with no payroll module, or a payroll module with no employees, is a two-field rule in both directions.		Both directions are one finding.
Price that depends on the size of the customerOnly with workarounds
Module prices by population band, user and option prices and an implementation fee that scales with the module count make a total the rep types in by hand; checking it means recomputing it.		The stated first-year total and the stated module count are fields in the request and are compared with the computed figures 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 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 quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The quote has no Financial Management; every other Enterprise ERP module is quoted on top of it.
2ERP for Schools is quoted for school districts only.
3Utility Billing and Tax Billing & Collection are not quoted for a school district.
4Tax Billing & Collection is quoted without Revenue Management.
5Inventory Mobile is quoted without Procurement.
6Electronic bill payment is quoted with no Revenue Management, Tax Billing & Collection or Utility Billing to pay into.
7Electronic bill payment and sandboxes are quoted with cloud or hybrid hosting; the deployment is on-premise.
8The quote has 4 sandboxes; up to 3 are quoted.
9The quote has 0 payroll employees and Human Resources Management is quoted; the two go together.
10The term is 2 years; the subscription is quoted for 1, 3 or 5 years.
11A 1-year term on 6 modules is short for an implementation of this size, so a person should confirm.
12Hybrid hosting is scoped with Tyler for each customer, so a person should confirm.
13The population or enrollment served is 0 thousand; the price bands start at 1 thousand.
14The quote has 0 named users; at least one is needed.
15A discount of $29,281 on a first-year list price of $366,000 is more than 8 percent and needs a manager to approve it.
16A discount of $54,901 on a first-year list price of $366,000 is more than the 15 percent limit.
17The first-year price is $1,514,500, above $1,500,000, so a person should confirm.
18The quote states a first-year total of $366,001, but the subscriptions, users, options, implementation and discount give $366,000.
19The quote states 3 modules, but the modules and add-ons quoted number 5.

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 Tyler Enterprise ERP for a county, city or school district: the modules, deployment, users, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the public product description and returns a verdict, every reason, a line-item quote and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote Tyler Enterprise ERP for a county serving 450 thousand residents, hosted on-premise, with Financial Management, Tax Billing & Collection. The quote states 6 modules and a first-year total of $655,500. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with five findings, all in one answer. Tax Billing & Collection is quoted without Revenue Management. Inventory Mobile is quoted without Procurement. Electronic bill payment and sandboxes are quoted with cloud or hybrid hosting; the deployment is on-premise. The other two are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned five 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 options that exist in the cloud only, a rules-based CPQ can do this only with workarounds.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the deployment to cloud, the Human Resources Management to yes, the procurement to yes, the Revenue Management to yes, the stated module count to 9 and the stated first-year total to $849,600. Two more changes are on screen.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. The validator also returns the line-item quote. It starts with Financial Management and Human Resources Management; the other twelve lines are on screen.
    13. 
      
  13. All five earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's total, $849,600, matches the quote.
    14. 
      
  14. Five problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $849,600 quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    15.
