# A product advisor that tells the buyer which model to order

An industrial catalogue where the buyer describes their site in plain words and gets back a specific model with the reason for it — so the enquiry that follows already has a configuration attached.

## The problem

A company sells eight battery storage systems that differ by a handful of numbers. Buyers do not know those numbers. They know the factory loses power twice a month, that the electricity bill spikes in the afternoon, and roughly what they can spend. So they send an email that says "please advise", and a salesperson spends twenty minutes writing back the same three paragraphs they wrote yesterday. Across every enquiry that is a full-time job, and it produces nothing anyone can reuse.

## What we built

We put an advisor beside the catalogue rather than in front of it. The buyer types the situation in their own words; the advisor reads the same product records the shop pages are built from, along with the specification documents the company already had sitting in PDFs, and comes back with a named model, its numbers, and why that one. Every answer points at a real product page, so nothing it says is unverifiable. The catalogue, the filters, the saved shortlist and the enquiry route are ordinary WooCommerce — the advisor is the part that has to be built, because the reasoning is the company’s own and no plugin ships it.

## Try it yourself

- Open the advisor and pick “Factory backup power” — the catalogue behind it scrolls to the model it settles on.
- Ask about an EU project instead. The answer changes, because the compliance package puts a different system first.
- Tick “Show selection details” before you ask, and you can see what it read on the way to the answer.
- Save a couple of systems with the heart. That shortlist is what an enquiry would arrive carrying.

## Who this suits

Anyone selling a range where the customer cannot name the product they need: machinery, industrial equipment, building materials, components sold by specification, anything quoted rather than priced.
