DenimNotes is the precision sourcing tool for fashion buyers, designers, and sourcing managers working the trade show floor. Stop photographing labels with your regular camera, scribbling notes on paper, and piecing it all together on a WhatsApp thread at midnight. DenimNotes captures everything in the moment — article number via OCR scan, composition, price, and a voice note — and delivers a polished PDF to your supplier before you leave the building. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Point the camera at any fabric label. The OCR engine reads the article number instantly. Tap the shutter. Done. No typing, no errors, no lost details. For unlabelled swatches, a 4-field manual entry panel slides up from the bottom. For verbal details, hold the mic and speak — Whisper transcription saves your note automatically. CLASSIFY YOUR COLLECTION Organise every fabric with a 5-level taxonomy: stretch type, construction, softness, shade, and price tier. Classify during the show or batch-classify everything afterwards in card-stack mode — swipe right to save, swipe left to skip. The collection overview shows your selection at a glance: 12 rigid, 4 crosshatch, 3 premium — exactly what you need to make buying decisions. TWO MODES, ONE APP Buyers and designers use DenimNotes to capture fabrics and send sample requests to mills. Supplier reps use it to note what buyers select from their range and send selection confirmations back to brands. Set your mode once during onboarding — the app adapts to your workflow. WORKS AT THE SHOW, WORKS ON THE PLANE DenimNotes is offline-first. Capture everything without a signal. The moment you reconnect, everything syncs silently to the cloud. No lost data. No interrupted sessions. SHARE IN ONE TAP Every session ends with a professional PDF — fabric image, article number, composition, price, taxonomy, and any notes. Send it via WhatsApp with a pre-filled message, or share through any app on your phone. BUILT FOR THE DENIM AND TEXTILE INDUSTRY DenimNotes was built by people who have walked Kingpins, Première Vision, and Munich Fabric Start. It speaks the language of the trade: rigid, crosshatch, CDFA, article numbers, MOQs. No learning curve — just open it and start capturing.
