CantonFair

Powerful Features

One platform with a mobile app for the hall and dedicated web portals for exhibitors and visitors, aligned with how Canton Fair runs today.

Platform scope

Digital networking and RFQs at fair scale

The following ideas come from the Canton Fair functional specification: a single system that turns hall interactions into structured leads, requests, and follow-up for visitors, exhibitors, their remote teams, and administration.

End-to-end components

A mobile app for visitor and exhibitor modes, role-based web portals, and an integrated backbone for contacts, inquiries, tasks, catalogs, message threads, and exports so nothing lives only on one device.

Core product focus

Lead capture, catalog and photo-based RFQs, sample requests, and post-fair follow-up. The center of gravity is trade conversations and quotes, not shopping-cart checkout.

Designed for real fair conditions

Critical actions are queued locally first, then synced when connectivity is stable. Delivery assumes variable networks in mainland China, resumable sync, and clear status on each inquiry from scan to reply.
