Sourcing digitalization
The End of the Physical Pinboard Era
TL;DR Summary:
Physical pinboards take time, travel, and endless photos. Dobby’s Digital Pinboard lets you gather, share, and track Digital Hangers in one shared space — see what you like, order a hanger instantly, and see which suppliers perform best.
Pinboards have always been part of the creative process — tactile, visual, collaborative. But in a digital world, they’re also slow.
Travelling to a central pinboard, photographing hangers, and sending updates by email isn’t just inefficient — it fragments communication and delays decisions.
With Dobby, you can leave those manual steps behind.
Meet the Digital Pinboard
Dobby’s Digital Pinboard brings your entire fabric selection process online. Instead of snapshots and spreadsheets, you get a single shared space where every hanger is visible, searchable, and actionable.
- Gather fabrics instantly: Add Digital Hangers to a communal, editable pinboard with a few clicks.
- Collaborate easily: Everyone involved — from sourcing to design — can see updates in real time.
- Act on what you see: Like a fabric? Order the hanger directly from your active project. No emails, no follow-ups.
