USE ELASTIC IN PERSON
Bring your wholesale sales platform to the show floor
Elastic Suite connects product presentations, assortment planning, and order entry in one B2B Ecommerce platform. Reps can present the line, build orders with buyers, and share selections—all in the same platform retailers use to order year-round.
ELASTIC AT TRADE SHOWS
How to use Elastic before, during, and after shows
01. PRE-SHOW
Prepare for each buyer
Build custom catalogs and proposed assortments around each retailer’s needs and past orders. Share a preview before the meeting, and make sure product information, pricing, and show specials are ready.
02. AT THE BOOTH
Turn product selections into orders
Use Digital Catalogs and Whiteboard to present products and plan assortments together. Add selections to the cart, review sizes and quantities, and organize orders by delivery date and store location. If connectivity is limited, capture orders with Offline Order Forms for upload later.
03. POST-SHOW
Make the next order easier
Follow up with custom catalogs, order details, and available-to-sell (ATS) inventory. Give buyers a clear path to review products and place reorders online, with their rep’s support when needed.

FAQs
Does Elastic Suite require brands to sell at trade shows?
No. Elastic Suite is a digital wholesale ordering platform, not a trade show tool. Reps and buyers place orders online, any day of the year, whether or not a show is happening. Trade shows are optional; the platform isn’t built around them.
How do brands use Elastic Suite if they don't exhibit at trade shows?
The same way as everyone else. Trade show attendance isn’t part of the equation. Sales reps share digital catalogs, buyers browse and order from wherever they are, and orders sync straight into your ERP.
For brands who do exhibit, utilizing Elastic Suite on a laptop, phone, or iPad at the booth makes it easy to curate custom collections, create orders in person, and follow up with retail buyers after the show.
Why does Elastic Suite show up at trade shows if it's a digital platform?
We exhibit at industry events like GOA’s Grassroots Connect, The Running Event, Switchback, and Surf Expo to meet brands in person and demonstrate the platform live. It’s a chance to meet new brands, connect with retailer users, and offer support to existing clients while everyone’s on-site together.
Is Elastic Suite only useful during trade show season?
No. Order volume through Elastic Suite runs continuously. Trade shows can be a moment brands use to onboard new buyers or demo the platform, but the day-to-day value (faster ordering, fewer errors, real-time inventory visibility) happens every week of the year.
What kind of ordering does Elastic Suite actually support?
Digital B2B wholesale ordering for mid-market to enterprise brand manufacturers, covering rep-assisted and self-service buyer ordering, real-time inventory, and ERP integration.
