It’s understandable that, at first glance, looking at the different product names housed within Locations can be confusing. There are different acronyms in place, as well as different abbreviations. What we have done here at Ocra is attempted to standardized product names within the Ocra app, so that our employees can quickly decipher rates. This means that there are slight variations in Ocra when compared to what customers may name their rates, but they still translate to the channels as the desired rate.
Most, if not all, product names are built from several essential building blocks detailed below:
Building Blocks
Days of the Week Abbreviations
Product Type Abbreviations
While Product Type is its own structured attribute for Products, it’s not reliably visible in all pages/views in the Ocra app. It’s also not visible on the backend of demand channels (control panels, etc.). Therefore, we include an abbreviation for Product Type in the product name so that context is everywhere.
