Trade shows, whether in-person or virtual, are a vital part of the wholesale industry. They offer a chance to discover new products, meet with vendors, and place important orders. But anyone who’s attended a trade show knows the challenges that come with managing multiple vendor booths, keeping track of order details, and ensuring everything is processed correctly—all while navigating the hustle and bustle of the event.
Fortunately, ZiiZii Trade Show offers a streamlined solution that simplifies the entire ordering process. Designed for both in-person and virtual events, this mobile app allows you to easily capture orders, prebook recurring deals, and manage multiple accounts—all with a few taps on your device. ZiiZii makes trade show ordering not just efficient but effortless, giving you more time to focus on exploring new opportunities rather than getting bogged down by paperwork.
The Challenges of Managing Orders at Trade Shows
While trade shows are a great opportunity to connect with vendors and discover new products, the logistics of placing and managing orders can be overwhelming, especially when attending multiple booths or managing different locations.
In-Person Trade Show Challenges
At a physical trade show, it’s common to visit several vendor booths, each showcasing a range of products. The process of keeping track of order details—such as quantities, product specifications, and ship dates—can quickly become chaotic. Manually recording orders or relying on paper forms increases the likelihood of mistakes, and juggling multiple accounts for different locations only adds to the complexity.
Virtual Event Challenges
Virtual trade shows present their own unique challenges. Navigating virtual booths, placing orders online, and managing order details from multiple vendors can be confusing and time-consuming. With limited event windows, missing the opportunity to finalize orders is a common issue. Ensuring that orders are processed correctly without face-to-face interaction can also lead to communication breakdowns or order inaccuracies.

ZiiZii Trade Show is designed to eliminate the complexities of managing orders at trade shows, whether in-person or virtual. This mobile app streamlines the process from start to finish, ensuring you can focus on discovering new products and building relationships with vendors—without worrying about the hassle of manual order tracking.
Here’s how ZiiZii Trade Show makes ordering at events effortless:
Accessing Trade Shows
Once you launch the app, you’re greeted with a list of upcoming and active trade shows. If a show hasn’t started yet, a convenient countdown clock keeps you informed about when the event will begin. As soon as the show goes live, simply tap “Enter Trade Show” to get started.
Managing Multiple Accounts with Ease
ZiiZii Trade Show makes it easy to manage multiple store locations or customer accounts. After entering the trade show, you’ll see a list of accounts that you can place orders for. If you’re managing several locations, you can choose one, several, or all at once. This flexibility is especially useful for wholesalers looking to streamline their ordering process across multiple stores or regions.
Vendor Booths & Product Details
Once inside the trade show, you’ll be able to browse through vendor booths, each featuring a selection of items. Tap on a vendor to view the available products, and simply adjust the quantities as needed using the plus/minus buttons or by entering exact amounts. If you’re placing orders for multiple locations, you can easily adjust quantities for each location or apply the same quantity across all stores—giving you full control over how you manage your orders.
Real-Time Order Summary & Tracking
As you explore the event, ZiiZii keeps track of all the items you’ve ordered. A running order total is displayed at the top of the screen, allowing you to easily review what you’ve selected. If you need more details, simply tap the summary to see a breakdown of all ordered items, quantities, and ship dates. Best of all, you don’t need to worry about manually submitting your order—ZiiZii automatically saves your order details when your device is connected to the internet, ensuring nothing is missed.
Internet Connection Status & Alerts
ZiiZii also takes care of the technical details. An icon at the top of the screen indicates whether your device is connected to the internet, so you know when your order has been successfully saved. And, just in case you get caught up in exploring the event, ZiiZii will send an alert before the show’s ordering window closes, making sure you have a chance to complete your orders before time runs out.
With these intuitive features, ZiiZii Trade Show turns what could be a chaotic process into a seamless, efficient experience—allowing you to focus on getting the best deals and new products for your business.
