DenimNotes / Trade Show CRM
Trade Show CRM

The trade show CRM
built for fabric sourcing

Most CRMs were built for software salespeople. DenimNotes was built for the show floor — where you have six seconds to scan a swatch, note a price, and move to the next booth before you lose the thread entirely.

Business cards in a pocket
You walk out with 40 cards and a notebook full of shorthand you can't read three days later.
Swatches in a tote bag
Which swatch was from which mill? What was the MOQ they quoted? Nobody remembers. The follow-up never happens.
Leads die between the show and Monday. Not because the product wasn't right — because the follow-up system wasn't.
Deals lost in transit
What makes it a CRM

Capture, connect, develop

Not just a note-taking app. A structured intelligence layer across the whole sourcing cycle — from the first scan on the floor to confirmed bulk.

2-Second Hang Tag Scan
Point your camera at any hang tag, woven label, or spec sheet. On-device OCR reads article number, composition, weight, and wash code — no internet required, no typing.
Voice-to-Meeting Notes
While you're still at the booth, tap record. Speak your notes — price discussed, MOQ, lead time, who you spoke with. AI structures it into a searchable meeting record.
Buyer–Fabric Threads
Every fabric is connected to the buyers who touched it, the meetings where it was discussed, and the development stage it's in. One tap shows you the whole history.
Hit Rate by Article
After the show, see which fabrics got the most buyer interest, which converted to samples, and which are sitting idle. Know what to push and what to drop.
AI Recall
"Which buyers asked about the 10oz stretch twill?" Just ask. The AI searches across all your scans, meetings, and notes — even the voice ones — and surfaces the answer in seconds.
Works Fully Offline
Show floor Wi-Fi is chaos. DenimNotes stores everything on-device and syncs the moment you're back on a connection. Not a single scan is lost.

Common questions

Trade show CRM — FAQ

What is a trade show CRM for fabric sourcing?
A trade show CRM for fabric sourcing helps buyers, mills, and sourcing teams capture fabric data, log supplier meetings, and track sourcing decisions at textile trade shows — without spreadsheets or post-show data entry. DenimNotes is the only CRM built specifically for the textile supply chain, with offline scanning, voice-to-meeting notes, and a garment development pipeline.
How is DenimNotes different from Salesforce or HubSpot at trade shows?
Salesforce and HubSpot were designed for software sales teams with reliable internet connections and weeks to configure. DenimNotes works offline, scans fabric hang tags in 2 seconds, and takes under 5 minutes to set up. It understands textile vocabulary — article numbers, MOQ, FOB, composition, wash codes — natively.
Can a trade show CRM work without internet?
Yes. DenimNotes works fully offline on the show floor. All scanning, voice note transcription, and meeting logging is stored on-device and syncs when you reconnect to a network. Show floor Wi-Fi is notoriously unreliable — DenimNotes never depends on it.
What does DenimNotes track at a trade show?
DenimNotes tracks: fabric hang tag data (article number, composition, weight, wash code); supplier meeting notes via AI voice transcription; buyer–fabric connections (who shortlisted what); sampling pipeline (proto, SMS, fit, bulk); and hit rate per article across multiple shows.
How quickly can I set up a trade show CRM before my next show?
DenimNotes takes under 5 minutes to set up. Download the app on iOS or Android, create a workspace, add your team members, and you're ready to scan. No catalog imports, no onboarding calls, no IT department required.

The next Kingpins is coming.
Are you ready for it?

DenimNotes is free for early users. Download before your next show and walk out with a structured record of every conversation.
