How does Exporb handle business cards in German, Chinese, and Japanese?

The AI-powered card scanner supports all languages and scripts, including CJK characters, Umlauts, and special characters common in German, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean business cards. It accurately extracts names, titles, company names, and contact details regardless of the language used.

Can voice recording capture detailed technical specifications?

Yes. Record conversations of any length with one tap. AI Enrich then extracts a full transcript along with structured data — technical requirements, material specs, tolerances, certifications discussed, production volumes, and specific follow-up actions. This feeds directly into your quoting process.

How does team sync work for a 15-person booth team?

Everyone joins the same event workspace on their phone. Each rep captures leads independently, and all contacts sync to a shared pool in real time. The system prevents duplicates, tracks who captured each lead, and enables lead reassignment between shifts or team members.

Can I track leads through a 12-month sales cycle?

Exporb captures the initial contact with full context — conversation recordings, AI-extracted requirements, and lead scores. Export this rich data to your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, or CSV) where your sales team can nurture the relationship over months with all the original context intact.

Does offline mode work at large industrial expos?

Yes. Exporb is built offline-first. All core features work without internet — business card scanning, voice recording, selfie capture, and manual notes. Data saves locally and syncs automatically when WiFi or cellular connectivity returns.

How quickly can we follow up after an industrial trade show?

You can export AI-scored leads to your CRM the same day. Each lead includes extracted technical requirements and follow-up actions, so your sales team can send targeted, relevant follow-ups within hours of the conversation — not weeks later from handwritten notes.

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

Exporb is built for booth realities at Hannover Messe and IMTS: offline capture for crowded halls, AI extraction of technical specs and capability gaps from booth audio, supplier-side fields like MOQ and lead time for sourcing teams, and CRM-ready CSV export for both sellers and buyers.

Can Exporb help our sourcing team evaluate suppliers at industrial trade shows?

Yes. Buyer mode runs the same AI calibrated for procurement: payment terms, sample availability, MOQs, and supplier scores extracted from one recording. Read the full sourcing workflow on the for-buyers solutions page.

Manufacturing Industry

Manufacturing Trade Show
Leads, Captured Right

A CNC machining lead met at Hannover Messe might close 14 months later. The tolerance specs, IATF certifications, and run volumes you discussed at the booth need to be captured cleanly the first time. Exporb scans cards in 14 languages and records the conversation, so the engineer who quotes the job in Q3 has the same context the booth rep had in April.

Why Manufacturing Teams Lose Leads at Trade Shows

The technical details matter. The language barriers are real. The deals close 12 months later.

Long Sales Cycles Need Rich Data

Manufacturing deals close on a 6-18 month curve. Tolerances, material grades, IATF certifications. If the technical details aren't captured cleanly at the booth, the quote 9 months later starts from scratch.

International Business Cards

Hannover Messe pulls 130,000 visitors from 150 countries. Cards in German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Generic OCR turns half of them into nonsense.

Large Booth Teams

IMTS booths run 15-20 staff across two shifts. Without a shared lead pool, the morning rep has no idea the afternoon rep already met that procurement lead from Bosch.

Technical Specs Get Lost

Custom machining specs, material grades, annual run volumes. Try writing 0.025mm tolerance and 50,000-unit MOQ on the back of a card after eight booth meetings.

How Exporb Solves Lead Capture for Manufacturing

Built for the complexity and international nature of industrial trade shows.

Multi-Language Card Scanning

AI scanner pulls names, titles, and company details from German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and any Latin script. Tested against the Hannover and IMTS card mix.

Voice Recording for Tech Specs

Record the full technical conversation. AI pulls out material specs, tolerances, run volumes, certifications, and follow-ups as structured fields.

Team Sync for Large Booths

Your entire booth team — from engineers to sales reps — shares a single lead pool. Real-time sync across shifts, no duplicates, and clear ownership of every contact.

AI Lead Scoring for Long Cycles

Automatic scoring based on conversation content, buying signals, and project timeline. Know which prospects are ready for a quote today versus nurturing over 12 months.

CRM Export with Full Context

Export leads to Salesforce, HubSpot, or CSV with all AI-extracted data — technical requirements, project timelines, and follow-up actions. Your sales team gets the full picture.

Offline Mode for Expo Halls

Hannover's halls swallow WiFi signal. Capture cards, voice notes, and photos offline. Syncs when connectivity returns.
