How does voice recording help at food tasting events?

During tasting sessions, your hands are busy with samples and your attention is on the product. Tap record and speak your notes — product impressions, pricing discussed, packaging details, minimum order quantities. AI Enrich then extracts structured data and follow-up actions from your recording.

Can Exporb handle the volume of contacts at a major food expo like SIAL?

Yes. Exporb is designed for high-volume events. Each team member can capture hundreds of contacts per day using card scanning and voice notes. Team sync prevents duplicates, and AI scoring helps you prioritize the most promising leads for immediate follow-up.

How does team sync work when our team is spread across multiple exhibition halls?

Everyone joins the same event workspace. Even when team members are in different halls, all captured leads sync to a shared pool in real time (or when connectivity allows). You can see who captured each contact and what was discussed.

Can I capture supplier and distributor contacts equally well?

Yes. Whether you are a manufacturer capturing distributor leads or a buyer cataloging supplier contacts, the workflow is the same — scan a card, record a voice note, snap a selfie. All data is organized per contact with AI-extracted context.

How quickly can we follow up after a food trade show?

You can export scored leads to your CRM the same day. Each contact includes AI-extracted notes about products discussed, pricing, and specific interests. This lets your sales team send personalized follow-ups within hours, referencing exactly what was discussed at the booth.

Does Exporb work with international food industry contacts?

Yes. The business card scanner handles cards in any language. Voice recordings work in any language, and AI Enrich can process multilingual audio. This is essential for international food expos where attendees come from dozens of countries.

What is the best lead capture app for food and beverage trade shows?

Exporb is built for SIAL, Anuga, and Specialty Food Show booth realities. AI extracts MOQs, certification requirements, distribution channels, and pricing intent from voice notes. The 0-100 lead score sorts hot prospects to the top so reps follow up while interest is fresh.

Can buyers use Exporb to evaluate food suppliers at trade shows?

Yes. Buyer mode runs the same AI calibrated for sourcing. Capture supplier card, photograph the spec sheet, voice-note the tasting impressions, and the AI extracts payment terms, MOQ, certifications, and a supplier score with quoted reasoning. See the for-buyers solutions page.

Why F&B Companies Lose Leads at Trade Shows

Food and beverage expos are hands-on. Notepads and badge scanners can't keep up.

Tasting Sessions Make Notes Impossible

Pouring samples, talking MOQs, shaking hands. By 6pm at Gulfood you've got 70 cards and zero memory of which buyer wanted private label and which wanted bulk export.

Supplier Cards Pile Up Fast

SIAL Paris and Anuga generate 300+ supplier cards across a four-day stretch. Typing them into a spreadsheet on the flight home is how cards become trash.

Large Halls, Scattered Teams

Anuga sprawls across 11 halls. Your sourcing lead is in Hall 5 with bakery suppliers, your sales rep is in Hall 7 with retailers. Without a shared pool, you re-meet the same buyer twice.

Slow Follow-Up Loses Distributors

A specialty trade buyer met 40 suppliers in one day. If your email next Tuesday says 'great meeting you' with no specifics, you're in the trash. The competitor who emailed Wednesday morning quoting the bulk price you discussed? They got the order.

How Exporb Solves Lead Capture for Food & Beverage

Built for the hands-on, high-volume nature of food and beverage exhibitions.

Voice Recording During Tastings

Tap once, record while you sample. Pricing, packaging specs, MOQs, distribution terms all captured without setting down the glass.

Instant Card Scanning

Snap distributor and buyer cards in any language. AI pulls name, company, title, email, phone. No spreadsheet typing on the flight home.

AI Lead Scoring

Automatic scoring based on conversation content and buying signals. Quickly identify which distributors, retailers, or buyers are most likely to place an order.

Team Sync Across Exhibition Halls

Your entire team shares a single lead pool even when spread across multiple halls. See who visited which supplier, avoid duplicate contacts, and coordinate follow-ups.

CRM Export for Distributor Follow-Up

Export leads to HubSpot, Salesforce, or CSV with all AI-extracted notes — product interests, pricing discussed, volume requirements. Follow up with context, not generic emails.

Offline Mode for Large Venues

Food expos are massive. WiFi crawls. Capture cards, record voice notes, add details offline. Syncs when you reconnect.
