The app built
for Kingpins

DenimNotes was born at Kingpins Amsterdam. It was built because great denim connections kept dying between the show and the office — not because the fabrics weren't right, but because the system wasn't.

02
Scan every hang tag you touch
Walk up to a booth. Point your camera at the hang tag. In under 2 seconds, DenimNotes reads the article number, composition (e.g., 98% cotton 2% elastane), weight in oz, and wash code — without an internet connection. Add a voice note while the mill rep is still talking.

03
Log every buyer meeting
For mill sales teams: before you leave the booth, tap record. "Marcos from Zara, interested in article DN-4471, asking about MOQ under 2000 meters, follow up with price list by Thursday." Done. Structured. Searchable. AI-formatted into a meeting record.
↳ Voice-to-record · AI-structured notes · Named contacts

Walk out with your pipeline, not just your instincts
End of day two. Everyone else is heading to dinner with a bag of swatches and a foggy memory. You have a structured record of every fabric, every meeting, every commitment — tagged, threaded, and queryable.

05
Follow up before they forget you too
Back in the office Monday. DenimNotes shows you exactly who to contact, what was discussed, and which fabrics to forward. Your competitors are still sorting through photos and business cards. You're already in their inbox.
↳ Buyer–fabric thread · Follow-up status · Hit rate by article
"The real work at Kingpins happens between the meetings — not after you're back in the office. DenimNotes is the tool we wish we'd had."
