Fabric Sourcing & Sales Intelligence — Built for the Show Floor

Every fabric. Every deal. One thread.

Your team walks three days of Première Vision. Logs 40 buyer meetings. Scans 200 fabrics. Without DenimNotes, half that intelligence is gone by Monday morning. With it — every selection, every note, every follow-up — searchable, measurable, connected from booth to bulk.

Works at every fabric sourcing event on the calendar — if there’s a hang tag, it works.

Where the money goes quiet

Millions spent.
Nothing to show for it.

4–5 shows a year. ~$25K per event. 40+ buyer meetings each. When the floor lights off — where does the intelligence go?

WhatsApp threads nobody reads twice
Critical fabric decisions buried in chat history — untagged, unsearchable, crossed with 40 other conversations.
Sampling hit rate? Nobody knows.
Mills invest $100K+ in shows with no measure of which articles, buyers, or events convert to bulk.
Product development gets half the story
By the time show intelligence reaches PD, it has been filtered through memory and through time.

How it works

From the booth
to the bulk order.

Three steps — from the fabric in your hand at the booth, to the confirmed order, to the garment in development.

STEP 01
Point. Scan. Done.

OCR reads the article number, composition, weight, and wash code from the hang tag. Voice note transcribed instantly. Saved in under 2 seconds — offline too.

avg 1.8s per capture · works offline
STEP 02
Connect the chain.

Invite the mill to collaborate. They see what was selected — never your price. Nominate fabric to a garment maker. Each party sees exactly what they should.

buyer · mill · maker · price stays private
STEP 03
Close the loop.

Send a professional PDF before you leave the floor. Track from proto to bulk. Ask AI what you captured, what is undecided, what is blocking production.

PDF in one tap · AI recall anytime
Built for every role in the chain

One app. Four perspectives.

For Buyers & Sourcing Managers

See 200 fabrics.
Forget none.

Point your camera at any hang tag. DenimNotes reads the article number, composition, weight, and wash code — then files it into a moodboard you can search by season, supplier, or sub-brand.

Capture at the booth
OCR reads the tag. Voice notes transcribe your instinct. No typing.

Beyond the trade show floor

Every show. Every floor.
Every meeting.

If there’s a hang tag, it captures it — in a showroom, a retail store, a factory floor, or your office.

Showroom & office visits
Log a mill showroom visit or a buyer HQ meeting exactly like a trade show capture. Article selections, prices discussed, voice notes — the same structured record, the same AI memory building with every visit.
Meeting intelligence
Trend & mystery shopping
Buying teams visiting retail stores to evaluate merchandising quality and trends can capture observations, fabric details, and competitive intelligence — same app, same workflow.
Retail intelligence
Your AI memory
Three seasons of buyer visits, article selections, and follow-up outcomes — all queryable. “What did this buyer shortlist last season that we never sampled?” Now you can answer that.
Historical AI recall
From PD to R&D to bulk
Structured meeting data handed off cleanly to product development and R&D. The sampling briefing stays aligned with what the buyer actually said — not what was remembered.
Internal alignment
The connected supply chain

One fabric.
Four conversations.

From the first scan at the booth to the confirmed bulk order — every handoff structured, every party seeing exactly what they need.

Privacy is structural, not a setting.
The buyer's price never touches the mill's screen. The mill's cost never reaches the maker. Each party collaborates on what moves the deal forward — nothing else.
A fair comparison

The gap
nobody fills.

The textile industry has sourcing marketplaces, wholesale platforms, and heavy ERP systems. None of them solve what happens at the show, in the meeting, or across the development pipeline.

Good questions

Things people
actually ask.

DenimNotes is a sales intelligence and supply chain platform built for the textile industry. It captures fabric details at trade shows and showrooms using OCR and voice, connects buyers, mills, and makers in a shared thread, and turns every buyer meeting into a structured, AI-queryable record — from the first scan on the show floor to confirmed bulk production.
Point your phone camera at any hang tag, woven label, or spec sheet. DenimNotes uses on-device OCR to read the article number, composition (e.g. 98% cotton 2% elastane), weight in oz, and wash code in real time — even offline. The scan takes under 2 seconds on average. No internet required.
Mill sales reps can log every buyer meeting with article selections, prices discussed, and follow-up status. After the show, the data is structured and searchable — you can see hit rate per article, which buyers shortlisted which fabrics, and which ones converted to sampling or bulk. AI recall lets you ask questions like “which buyers selected our stretch range but never sampled?” across multiple seasons.
No. The name reflects where DenimNotes was born — Kingpins Amsterdam — but the capture-connect-develop workflow works for every fabric category. It can be used at Première Vision (woven, knits, trims), Munich Fabric Start, Intertextile Shanghai, and Heimtextil. If there’s a hang tag, DenimNotes can read it.
JOOR and NuOrder are wholesale order management platforms — they start after the fabric decision is already made. Material Exchange is a browse-only digital catalog. Neither works offline, neither has OCR scanning, and neither tracks what happens in the buyer meeting itself. DenimNotes is built for the moment the fabric is physically in your hand — the capture, the context, the connection.
DenimNotes is designed for Kingpins Amsterdam and New York, Première Vision Paris, Munich Fabric Start, Denim PV, Intertextile Shanghai, Heimtextil Frankfurt, Texworld, Colombiatex, and Milano Unica. It also works at any showroom, office buyer meeting, or factory visit — anywhere you encounter a hang tag or need to log a fabric conversation.
DenimNotes is free for early users. Download it on iOS or Android and start capturing at your next show. Enterprise pricing for teams with shared workspaces, multi-user access, and API integrations is available — book a demo to discuss.
From the people who were there

Four shows in.
Here's what they said.

Buyer · Sourcing Manager
Building a seasonal collection means managing hundreds of fabric conversations across suppliers, internal teams, and development partners. For the first time, DenimNotes gives me one place where my moodboard, my supplier selections, and my development requests all live together. I don’t lose context between the show floor and the briefing room anymore.

ONLY Blue Denim · Bestseller
Product Developer
Denim development means managing a chain of decisions — fabric, wash, fit, factory — where every handoff is a chance to lose something. DenimNotes keeps the whole chain connected. From the first time a fabric is selected to the moment I brief the maker, everything is traceable. It’s the tool I didn’t know I needed until I stopped using it for a week and felt the difference immediately.

Guess
Garment Maker · Buyer
My team sources fabrics from mills and develops garments for brands — we sit in the middle of the supply chain and feel pressure from both directions. DenimNotes is the first tool that actually reflects how we work. I can track what we’ve selected from suppliers, monitor what customers have confirmed, and see our conversion rate from development to bulk — all in one place. For the first time, I can see exactly where we’re winning and where we’re losing.

I tested DenimNotes personally. It’s the real thing — fast, accurate, and built around the way textile sales actually works. The development pipeline tracking alone is worth it for any mill doing serious volume at the shows.

Why I built
DenimNotes.

I built a $50M LEED Gold denim mill. I’ve walked Kingpins, Texworld, and Première Vision more times than I can count. Every time, I watched good leads die on the floor — because we had no system.

DenimNotes is the tool I wish I’d had. Built for buyers and suppliers who know that the real work happens between the meetings — not after you’re back in the office.
