An example

From a fabric photo to the manufacturer

  1. A buyer takes a photo of the fabric in hand or of a sample from a customer.
  2. Linkyon lists similar fabrics from the catalogue and the companies that make them.
  3. The buyer requests a sample or a quote, and the manufacturer replies from the same screen.

Our approach

We build software that grows out of the industry's real needs, and we grow our products through long-term support and continuous improvement.

Linkyon grew out of the daily problems of textile manufacturers. Finding a fabric from a photo exists because buyers spend days searching for the right fabric, not because it looks good in a demo.

Our founder comes from textile manufacturing and learned fabric, sampling and contract production on the floor. That is why we work only on textiles and do one thing properly.
