INDX X HYPERSCOUT

Take the guesswork out of show preparation

INDX has partnered with Hyperscout to bring AI-powered, data-driven matchmaking directly to our exhibitors for INDX Woman and INDX National Menswear Show. While trade shows are about writing orders and doing business face-to-face, Hyperscout ensures your preparation starts long before the doors open.

By reading your brand’s DNA - evaluating style, target demographics, price points, and positioning - Hyperscout analyses and matches your profile against verified independent retailers.

You arrive at INDX with a ranked shortlist of target buyers who are a natural fit for your product, allowing you to maximise your time, secure pre-booked appointments, and drive high-margin results.

How it works

From sign-up to your first buyer conversation in two weeks

After two weeks you are holding a scored list of the shops you should be in, with the buyer’s name at each one.

  • DAY 1

    You open an account through INDX. Two minutes, no card, nothing to pay.
  • DAY 1

    You answer 14 questions. The one that counts: name five brands that belong next to yours in a store.
  • DAY 2

    We build your profile, enriched from public data: categories, price level, and where you already sell.
  • DAY 3

    We calibrate it together. Forty-five minutes with us, scoring your first matches live with you in the room.
  • WEEK 1

    Your match list arrives. Retailers scored on fit, each one showing the brands it already carries.
  • WEEK 2

    You reach the buyers. Buyer name, email, phone and LinkedIn, straight into your pipeline.

HYPERSCOUT FAQS

Getting started as an exhibitor

Everything you need to know before you open your account, and how the matchmaking works once you do.

Six simple steps over roughly two weeks:

  1. Open an account.

  2. Answer 14 quick questions (around 15 minutes).

  3. Hyperscout builds your brand profile.

  4. Complete a live calibration call to fine-tune your matches.

  5. Receive your curated match list.

  6. Connect with matched retailers and pre-book appointments for INDX.

Your website, product categories, retail price ranges, and the names of five brands you naturally sit next to on a shop floor (plus any stockists you explicitly want to avoid).

A 45-minute live session with the Hyperscout team to score initial matches together. Tuning these weightings is the single most important step to ensure your matches are spot-on.

How the matchmaking works

Publicly available company information. Hyperscout builds data from public sources and company filings - never personal data.

By evaluating your positioning, price level, product categories, aesthetic style, and current stockist profile - built from public sources first, then verified by you during onboarding.

By analysing the actual brands currently hanging on their floor. A store is measured by what it sells, not just how it describes itself.

It is the fastest, most accurate read on your brand DNA. Knowing the labels you naturally hang beside helps the algorithm filter match lists to fit your true vision, not just your price tier.

You mark it as Like, Save, or Not My Fit. Those feedback signals immediately tune and refine your future matches.

Data, privacy & compliance

No. Profiling relies strictly on corporate and brand information.

Buyer contact details are processed strictly at the moment a user requests them, ensuring full compliance with European data privacy regulations (contracted via Dutch entity Hyperscout Holding B.V.).

Yes. From inside a retailer profile, you can request a credit check. Requests are routed directly to Modint Credit, who deal with your brand directly.

It doesn't stop when the show closes

INDX Shows are about making connections, doing business and celebrating the retail industry, and why should that stop when the show closes?

Taking place directly after the first day of the show, you’re invited to the Networking Social - open to all visitors and exhibitors and sponsored by event hosts.

With contemporary, industry-chic vibes, our onsite first floor eatery, The Loft, provides the perfect back drop to get together and catch-up - so come along and enjoy a complimentary welcome drink, canapés and live music (cash bar also available).

    INDX Woman ticks all the boxes. It's definitely an order-writing show. It's unpretentious - we come to showcase and they [buyers] come to write orders so it's great.

    It was so great to be part of a fair that focused on kids’ footwear specifically. Plus, being in the UK, it's a brilliant way for UK businesses to support each other. It was great to connect with existing and new customers as well as other brands, but it was about so much more than wholesale. It was such a great event, we're already looking forward to next time.

    I received lots of orders from both existing and new stockists and I also had conversations about lots of interesting business development ideas. It was great to catch up and network with so many lovely people in the industry. The INDX National Kidswear Show is one of my favourite shows to do - friendly, positive and successful.

    INDX Home is a good show and in my opinion it has supplanted the Spring Fair as a forum for housewares.

    We’re focusing on wholesale now, and the men’s INDX show was a big success so we’re here at INDX Woman. In terms of stockists, we’re trying to find mid-level independent department stores. We’ve already spoken to Shaws [an Irish independent department store chain] and some indies, which is great - we’ve written orders.

    INDX has always been a good show for us and the best show for menswear. We always take on new customers here and we also see existing customers. Rather than going to Manchester or London, which might be affected by train strikes, they'd rather drive here and see all the brands in one journey. The brand mix is also increasing so we’ve got more up and coming brands which have added some excitement and newness to the show.

    It was wonderful catching up with new and established stockists and seeing buyers face-to-face again. The INDX National Kidswear Show was very busy, and we didn’t stop writing orders. It also seems colour is back, and it’s great to see so many retailers buying organic, sustainable and colourful kidswear.

    The children’s shoe industry has been crying out for a dedicated show. It was great to be in a room with all the best children’s brands, making it easier for buyers to browse and spend time with exhibitors. We found the show to be a success, and we will certainly be coming again. It is great to support the British footwear industry, and we hope that the brands and retailers continue to do so.
