How does Exporb handle complex automotive supply chain conversations?

Record any conversation with one tap. AI Enrich then processes the recording and extracts structured data — part specifications, material requirements, certification needs, production volumes, pricing discussions, and specific follow-up actions. This feeds directly into your supplier evaluation or sales pipeline.

Can team sync handle multi-location booth presence at auto shows?

Yes. Your team at the main exhibition booth, supplier hall, technology pavilion, and even outdoor display areas all join the same event workspace. All leads sync to a shared pool in real time. You can see who captured each contact and reassign leads across locations.

Does offline mode work at large auto show venues?

Yes. Exporb is built offline-first. All core features work without internet — business card scanning, voice recording, selfie capture, and manual notes. Data saves to your device locally and syncs automatically when connectivity returns. This is critical at large auto show venues where WiFi is unreliable.

Can Exporb scan business cards from Japanese, German, and Korean automotive suppliers?

Yes. The AI-powered card scanner handles all languages and scripts, including Japanese, German (with Umlauts), Korean, Chinese, and Arabic. It accurately extracts names, titles, company divisions, and contact details regardless of the language.

How does AI lead scoring work for automotive contacts?

Every contact gets an automatic lead score based on conversation content, buying signals, and engagement level. For automotive, this helps you identify which supplier relationships or partnership opportunities are most promising and should get priority follow-up.

Which CRMs can I export automotive trade show leads to?

Exporb exports to HubSpot, Salesforce, and any CRM, and supports CSV/JSON export. All AI-extracted data transfers with each contact — technical requirements, partnership interests, timeline expectations, and follow-up actions. Works with any CRM that accepts CSV import.

What is the best lead capture app for automotive trade shows?

Exporb is purpose-built for booth realities at IAA, SEMA, and Automechanika. AI extracts spec requirements, OEM relationships, and procurement intent from voice notes. The 0-100 lead score auto-sorts hot prospects (≥70) so the team follows up with serious buyers first.

Can sourcing teams use Exporb to evaluate automotive suppliers?

Yes. Buyer mode runs the same AI calibrated for procurement. Capture supplier card, photograph the spec sheet, voice-note the conversation, and the AI extracts payment terms, MOQ, lead time, and a supplier score with quoted reasoning. Read more on the for-buyers solutions page.

Why Automotive Companies Struggle at Trade Shows

Big venues. Global supplier base. Technical conversations. Auto expo leads disappear into spreadsheets you'll never open again.

Complex Supply Chain Conversations

At SEMA or IAA Mobility, you spend 20 minutes on one part: tolerances, IATF 16949 certs, annual volumes, tier-2 sourcing. Try writing that on a business card after seven booths.

Multi-Location Booth Presence

IAA puts you in three halls: main booth, supplier hall, mobility pavilion. Without a shared lead pool, the rep in Hall B has no idea the OEM contact already met your team in Hall A.

Poor Connectivity at Large Venues

Messe München and Detroit's Huntington Place are concrete and steel. Cell drops out, WiFi crawls. Tools that need a live connection stop working when the floor gets busy.

Global Supplier Networks

Automotive supply chains span the globe. Business cards from German, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese suppliers need accurate scanning — especially for technical titles and company divisions.

How Exporb Solves Lead Capture for Automotive

Built for the scale, complexity, and global nature of automotive trade shows.

Voice Recording for Supply Chain Talks

One tap records the conversation. AI pulls out part specs, material grades, production volumes, and delivery dates as structured fields you can export.

AI Extraction of Technical Details

AI Enrich reads the recording and writes back part numbers, certification needs (IATF, ISO), pricing notes, and the actual follow-ups. No re-listening.

Team Sync Across Locations

Main booth, supplier hall, mobility pavilion: one shared lead pool. Sync runs on window focus, so duplicates die and shift handoffs stop being a guessing game.

Multi-Language Card Scanning

Accurately scan business cards in German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and all other languages. Essential for the global automotive supply chain where contacts come from every major manufacturing region.

Offline Mode for Convention Centers

Card scans, voice notes, selfies, and manual edits all work offline. Data syncs when you get signal back.

CRM Export with Full Context

Push to Salesforce, HubSpot, or CSV. Tech specs, partnership notes, timelines, and follow-ups travel with each contact.
