Landed cost

Know the real price before you leave the booth

Show Sourcing turns FOB into LDP — the landed, duty-paid cost per unit — so you can judge a price on the spot.

  • Country tariff rules linked to each category, so duty fills in by itself.
  • Package cost and container cost are part of the math.
  • Price terms FOB, CIF, EXW or DDP, and price breaks for each quantity.
  • Prices in USD, EUR, GBP or CNY, with numbers in your region's format.

Team

One live catalog for the whole team

When a teammate adds a product, everyone sees it. Decide together on the product itself, not in a chat thread.

  • Comments and @mentions on every product.
  • Team statuses — like Sample Requested, Quoted or Approved — stay in sync for everyone.
  • The redesigned Team Map shows who is at the same venue, so you can meet up without a call.

Built for the whole trip

Easy at the booth. Easier back at the office.

1 At the show

  • Photo, price, done. Snap the product, tap a few chips for FOB, MOQ and packaging, and move to the next booth.
  • Cards become contacts. Scan a business card in English or Chinese and the vendor is filled in for you.
  • Know the real cost on the spot. Landed cost with duty and freight shows before you leave the booth.
  • Your team, in sync. Everyone adds to one catalog, comments on products, and finds each other on the Team Map.

2 After the show

  • Every booth, sorted. Filter by show, vendor, category, status or price, and compare landed costs side by side.
  • Find it by what it looks like. Search "black earbuds" and find the photo, even if nobody typed a word.
  • Follow up in one tap. Email a vendor with the product details and photos already filled in.
  • Review on a big screen. Open the same catalog on iPad, Mac or the web and decide with your buyers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything importers, buyers, and sourcing teams ask before they hit the show floor.

  • Is Show Sourcing for iPhone or iPad?

    Both, and Mac too. It is built for one-handed iPhone use on the trade show floor, and works on iPad and Mac for reviewing your catalog. Your team can also sign in to the web app at app.showsourcing.app. iOS 18.0 or later.

  • Does it work offline?

    Yes. Capture products, scan cards, take notes, and manage vendors offline — everything syncs when you're back on WiFi or cellular. Ideal for factory visits and expo halls with spotty signal.

  • What trade shows is it built for?

    Canton Fair, Global Sources, ASD, IHA, Hong Kong Electronics Fair, HKTDC, Ambiente, IFA, CES — any expo where you're scanning vendors and cataloging products at speed. Also for factory visits (Shenzhen, Yiwu, Guangzhou, Vietnam, India).

  • How does the business card scanner work?

    Point your camera at a card, tap capture. AI extracts the company name, contact person, email, phone, WeChat ID, and physical address in about half a second. Multi-card imports supported — scan a stack, get all the vendors back at once.

  • Can multiple people on my team share the same catalog?

    Yes. Real-time team sync means everyone sees new products and vendor cards as they get scanned. Team Radar shows colleague locations on the venue map so you can meet up without calling.

  • How does landed cost calculation work?

    Enter FOB, packaging cost, and container quantity. Show Sourcing applies country-specific tariff rules (auto-linked to the product's category and country of origin) plus your container cost, and gives you the LDP — the true per-unit landed cost you can use to price the item.

  • What does it cost?

    $60 per seat per 6 months, or $102 per seat per year (15% annual discount). Volume discounts kick in at 10+ seats. Billed through the App Store. See Pricing for every plan.

  • How is my data stored?

    Your catalog syncs to a private cloud backend (Supabase, hosted in Singapore for global reach). Team data stays within your team. See the Privacy Policy for details.

  • Is there an Android version?

    Not yet — Android is on the roadmap. The iOS app is the focus.
