About Ocra

Ocra is an AI-powered Revenue Management System (RMS) and Global Distribution System (GDS) built for hotel parking assets. Hotels use Ocra to sell underutilized parking inventory through “parking OTAs” to non-guest customers looking to park near airports and event venues. Ocra's team of parking revenue management experts drives revenue growth without adding labor or disrupting operations, helping hotels increase net operating income (NOI) while never compromising parking for hotel guests and staff. Ocra partners with 50+ operators and 25+ hotel groups at 600+ locations across North America. The company has raised $10M, most recently an oversubscribed $5M round co-led by Trestle Partners and MCR Hotels. About the Role
