In short
FairScan is a productivity app for capturing trade fair finds. You photograph a product and the supplier's card, and AI recognises the item, reads the card and saves the supplier, leaving only the price to type. Products link to their supplier and fair, and orders can be sent as proformas or exported to Excel, with the catalogue also viewable on a computer. It works offline and syncs once a connection returns.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Back from the fair with 400 loose photos, a stack of business cards and a notebook even you can't read? Which booth was this? What price did that supplier quote? Then days of typing everything into a spreadsheet before you can even place the order.
With FairScan you leave the fair with your order ready. The app opens straight to the camera: one photo of the product, one of the supplier's card, and AI does what you used to do at night in the hotel. It recognises the product, describes it, reads the card and saves the supplier with all their contacts. The only thing you type is the price. Every product stays linked to its supplier and its fair, so "which booth was this?" is over.
FROM CATALOGUE TO ORDER, WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP Mark what you like, build the order by supplier and send it as a proforma by WhatsApp or email on the spot, or download it as an Excel file with photos and formulas. The proforma goes out in English by default, ready for your supplier.
ON YOUR COMPUTER TOO Open fairscan.app with your account and your whole catalogue is there as a table: filter, sort, add your own columns, save views and review orders with their totals. Everything you capture on your phone shows up on your computer.
WORKS OFFLINE Internet at the fair fails: the connection drops, the Wi-Fi is slow, roaming doesn't reach. Capture all day with no connection and FairScan syncs by itself when the signal is back. Nothing you photograph is ever lost, and the app always shows you how many products are already safe in the cloud.
TO DECIDE BETTER AT THE BOOTH • Favourites, to remember what you liked most. • Minimum order, pieces per carton and CBM per product. • Voice notes, no typing.
TO FIND EVERYTHING LATER • Search by what you remember: a name, a supplier, a category, a material. • On your computer, filters by supplier, category, price and minimum order. • Teams: share the catalogue with whoever buys with you. • Your photos and data are yours and can always be downloaded.
PRICE The app is free and includes trial scans. Supplier cards are free and unlimited.
AI can make mistakes: always check prices and details before closing a purchase.
