If you want to see some awful SKUs, look at what HP did when they bought Poly. I'll give you an example:

8D8K2AA#ABA. That's for a Poly x52 video bar.

83Z51AA#ABA. Poly x70 video bar.

83Z50AA#ABA. Poly G7500 controller.

I asked our Poly rep what the naming scheme was and they told me....there isn't one. HP randomly assigned SKUs.

Before getting bought out, Poly SKUs were pretty bad (7200-87620-001) but at least the system made sense. You might not be able to name the item but you could at least tell the difference between products and warranties.
