Poly9 · Fabric mills and wallcovering manufacturers

Every pattern and colourway, ready for buyers

Fabric and wallcovering buyers seldom take a quality as sampled. They want the velvet in their own colour, a flame-retardant finish for one market, a wider width, or the pattern printed on a different ground. Your Digital Booth shows the price per metre or per roll you set for each quality and sends every custom change to your inbox, so mills and converters can answer the same day.

What buyers ask

Strike-off and MOQ questions, answered today

A fabric mill, converter or wallpaper factory that exports hears the same three questions on almost every enquiry. Each one waits for the dye house, the print room or the costing sheet.

“Can you do it in our colour?”

Importers and contract buyers send a colour reference and ask for a lab dip or strike-off. They want the extra cost per metre, the minimum per colourway and the time to first approval.

“Is it FR treated, and to which standard?”

Upholstery and wallcovering buyers ask for flame-retardant finishes per market, plus abrasion results and lightfastness. Each finish changes the price per metre and the lead time.

“What is the MOQ per colourway?”

Stock colours ship from rolls in hand. Custom colours need a dye lot or a print run. Buyers compare mills on minimum metres per colour and the ship date for the bulk order.

How it works

From swatch photos to priced replies

You set up your qualities and your prices once. After that, the booth answers buyers from your product data and passes anything you have not priced to you.

01

Load your qualities

Send phone photos of swatches and headers, or upload your Excel sheet. Poly9 writes each quality with its composition, width, weight, colourways and finishes for you to check.

02

Set your prices and options

Enter a price per metre or roll for each quality and colourway. Add the finishes buyers can pick, and one MOQ and lead time per quality.

03

Buyers ask in plain words

A buyer types “this velvet in our ochre, 140 cm, FR treated for the UK, 1,500 metres”. The assistant gives the stock price you set and marks the custom colour and FR finish price on request.

04

You price it and send

Each custom request lands in your inbox with the colour reference and an AI reply draft. You price it, and one click turns it into a quote.

Your range, as buyers see it

A fabric converter catalog buyers can check

Each quality carries the technical details a fabric or wallcovering buyer checks before asking for a strike-off.

  • Composition, width and weight per quality, in GSM or ounces per square yard
  • Stock colourways shown side by side, each with the price per metre you set
  • Abrasion results in Martindale or double rubs, pilling grade and lightfastness grade
  • Finishes such as FR treatment by market, stain repellent, acrylic backing and paper or non-woven grounds
  • Pattern repeat, railroaded or up-the-roll, and roll length per quality
  • One MOQ and lead time per quality, with custom colourways set up as products in a family

Questions from fabric mills and wallcovering manufacturers

How does Poly9 price a colour or finish we have not quoted?
It does not guess. If a colourway, finish or ground has no price in your setup, the booth shows price on request and sends you the full specification with the colour reference. Once you add it as a priced variant, later buyers see that price.
Can we show test results for each quality?
Yes. You write the abrasion, pilling, lightfastness and FR results you already hold into each quality’s description, with the standard and date. Buyers read them there. When a buyer asks for the report itself, you send it with your quote.
Our yarn and paper costs change every season. Do we update every quality?
Only the ones built on that base. When you change a cloth or paper rate in your material list, Poly9 shows every quality and open quote it affects. You update those prices from that list, and nothing reprices without you.
Can importers and contract buyers see different prices?
Your booth shows one set of prices to everyone. Share a collection with prices and MOQs shown or hidden, then send a large importer and a contract buyer each a quote at the terms you agreed.
How does COM fabric pricing work?
Each quality carries the per-yard price you set, with width and repeat in its description. A designer asking for 18 yards sees your per-yard price and the minimum you list. Cut yardage after repeat and any grade you have not priced go to your inbox as price on request for you to quote.
How does it handle repeats?
Vertical and horizontal repeats sit in each product’s description, so the assistant can tell a designer the repeat. Cut yardage for a specific frame goes to your inbox with the request. You put the yardage after repeat in the quote you send, so the mill, showroom and upholsterer share one number.
How accurate are the technical specs?
They come from your product data: width, vertical repeat, content, abrasion count and fire test as you wrote them. The assistant does not infer a rating from a similar fabric. If a detail is missing it says so and sends the question to your inbox, because a guessed flammability class helps nobody.
What about wallcovering sold by the roll?
Set a per-roll price for each wallcovering and list the minimum and pattern match in its description. A buyer asking for a 12-roll run sees your roll price, and the enquiry lands in your inbox. One click turns it into a quote with rolls, minimum, price breaks by quantity and the total.
Can showrooms quote our fabrics to their designers?
Share your booth link and line-sheet PDFs with the showrooms you sell through, with prices shown or hidden. A designer asking about a colorway gets the answer from your product data, at the price you set. Showroom enquiries land in your inbox, and you quote each one at the terms you agreed.
How does a 37,400-SKU catalog get in?
Upload your Excel sheet or price file and Poly9 builds a product page for each row for you to check. Booth covers 1,000 products, Factory 10,000, and Enterprise is sized to your catalog, so a large mill archive fits. When a price changes, you edit it on the product and the booth shows the new number.
What does a Digital Booth cost?
Plans are $99/month Booth · $299/month Factory · Enterprise custom · billed in USD. Booth covers 1,000 products, Factory covers 10,000 and Enterprise is sized to your catalog. Every plan includes your whole team. You preview your Digital Booth before you pay.
