Dynamic terminology

Dynamic terminology

Inkome speaks your business’s language. The labels you see — on buttons, menus, table headers, and empty states — change to match the business type of the space you’re in. So a consultant sees Deals and a store owner sees Products, in the exact same screen.

How labels change as you switch spaces

The interface reads each space’s business type and rewrites its labels on the spot. When you switch to a different space, the words update right away — the navigation, page titles, buttons, and form fields all re-label themselves for the new stream. You don’t configure anything; it follows the space.

The same screen reads very differently depending on the type:

Where you see it Services E-commerce Digital SaaS
Primary nav item Deals Products Products Plans
Secondary nav item Collections Sales Sales Revenue
Add button Add Deal Add Product Add Product Add Plan
Record-income button Add Collection Record Sales Record Sales Record Invoice
Empty state No deals yet No products yet No products yet No plans yet
Search placeholder Search deals… Search products… Search products… Search plans…

The core nouns

The two records you work with most are the thing you sell and the money it brings in. Their names are the clearest tell of which space you’re in:

Concept Services E-commerce Digital SaaS
The thing you track Deal Product Product Plan
Money coming in Collection Sale Sale Invoice
The customer Client Customer Customer Account

The collection plan — your schedule of expected income — also re-labels itself: it’s a Collection Plan in services, a Sales Plan in e-commerce and digital, and a Revenue Plan in SaaS.

Some labels disappear entirely

Dynamic terminology isn’t only about renaming — it also hides what doesn’t apply. When a label has no meaning for a type, the field or column is hidden rather than shown empty:

This keeps each form focused on the fields that genuinely matter for that stream.

Customizing labels yourself

The business type gives you a sensible starting vocabulary, but you can take it further. If “Deal” isn’t quite your word — maybe you call them “Engagements” or “Projects” — you can rename labels for your space in settings. See Custom labels & terminology for how to override the defaults.
