SYSTEM OVERVIEW

ExpoBee is the first interactive exhibition service of its kind that maximizes the business potential for buyers and suppliers at trade shows, and enhances event organizers' operations and gains by incorporating patented technology and a service suite that improves buyer/supplier interaction on the fairground and beyond.

THE EXPOBEETM  SYSTEM

The ExpoBee service supports and enhances the actual encounter of the buyer with products and suppliers on the fair grounds, as well as before and after the exhibition.

The system is made up of the following products and services:

  • EXPOBEE PORTAL

    The ExpoBee.com portal is an industry-focused, one-stop-shop for buyers and suppliers to manage all their exhibition related affairs in one convenient place.

    The multilingual portal displays supplier information in a product-centric way. It includes detailed product specifications which enables useful product comparison and better sourcing. Intelligent search engines and refining tools, help buyers find what they are looking for.

    When used together with the Expobee Smart Badge™ at the show, the portal adds another dimension, acting as a gateway between suppliers and buyers.

    		  

    Via the portal, suppliers can register for shows, update their profile, add additional products, and communicate with potential buyers. They can also view their entire activity history and follow up on leads.

    Buyers can access ExpoBee.com to manage their account, pinpoint specific suppliers to request a meeting, access comprehensive information about suppliers they are interested in and even take a virtual tour of their factory. Other features include viewing e-wallet transactions, creating e-catalogs for dispatch, and the ability to compare their selections with other products. Best of all buyers can also use the portal to search for interesting fairs, and connect with vendors.

  • ExpoBee Smart Badge™

    Worn around the neck as a standard exhibition ID badge, with one click the buyer scans any displayed product on the show floor. The badge automatically logs all the information about the product the buyer is seeing and touching, in his native language, without the need for discussions with the seller in a busy fair environment. While visiting the show, the buyer receives product and suppliers' recommendations from the system based on smart analysis of his preferences, profile and history, thus optimizing the show productivity and experience.

    		 

  • EXHIBITION KIOSKS

    The best way for buyers to start their exhibition visit is to stop by one of the many ExpoBee Kiosks located on the show. At the kiosk, buyers can search for particular products and suppliers in any specific category or subcategory, and get more profiling information about each supplier. The kiosks are extremely user friendly and can be accessed anytime and can be also used to review and manage all the product scans made so far.

    		 

  • THE SUPPLIER TERMINAL

    The supplier terminal enables the manufacturer to verify the buyer's identity, view a list of visitors to his booth, see which products were scanned, pinpoint specific buyers and initiate a dialog. Once the buyer shows up and scans one or more products with the ExpoBee Smart Badge, the system immediately logs this lead and notifies the supplier. All of the exhibition leads are automatically stored and a detailed lead analysis report is automatically created for each supplier, presenting more detailed buyer profiles, booth statistics and show analysis.

SYETEM FEATURES & BENEFITS

ExpoBee has undertaken to address the needs of all its target audiences: the buyers, the suppliers and the exhibition organizers - to efficiently and effectively improve business processes and facilitate sales.

  • FOR BUYERS

    ExpoBee provides unique sourcing tools before, during and after the show. The buyer can collect huge amounts of product/supplier data during the show in real time without the need to collect and carry heavy catalogs. Buyers have the option of choosing whether to interact with exhibitors or collect information independently with the Smart Badge.

  • FOR EXHIBITORS

    ExpoBee supplies tools to interact with buyers before the show - getting feedback on buyers' interests as well as the ability to send out targeted, personalized information to the buyers. During the show, suppliers they gain insight on buyer in real time, as they collect data regarding who is scanning their products.

  • FOR ORGANIZERS

    ExpoBee empowers both the show organizer and their exhibitors by supplying a whole new set of measurement tools for understanding buyer behavior in three dimensions: tracking buyers favorite locations, how much time was spent there and which products they were interested in. The exhibition organizer is then better able to qualify the buyers and improve the flow and products presented in future shows.
