swatchbook

the future of materials

a cloud platform revolutionizing the exploration, visualization & sharing of materials

we’d love to show you what swatchbook is all about, but we’d like to do that one on one. we’d also like to learn more about you & your design process

we’ll hopefully get in touch with you as soon as marvin comes back from lunch within 1-2 business days

why should you care?

real materials

reducing the dependency on physical samples - nothing beats touch & feel. we are not suggesting that you give this up. but you are not just looking at something that looks pretty. you are looking at real materials with all of their physics, metadata, costing & whatever else you or your supplier add to it & since it is all digital, it reduces the dependency on physical samples dramatically.

brands & suppliers

finally a platform that is made with the creative folks in mind to bring both brands and suppliers together in a shared cloud environment & within the brand, swatchbook is an easy way to communicate between the design team, material person, & librarian. understand what the material person wants, what the material will look like on a piece of garment, all in a matter of minutes. & then share it all with the decision makers, with the click of a button, on any device.

time & money

instead of examining thousands of physical samples you can quickly narrow down your material selection online through sophisticated filtering methods and visual inspection online and in the design tool. the times of a supplier having to ship thousands of materials are over. only work with the physical samples that you have selected online.

real materials, from real suppliers, saving you real money

how is swatchbook unique?

exploration

we recognize that searching for materials isn’t always about finding an exact number but more about the journey of exploration, trying to find what’s best suited for your needs. we think of swatchbook as the place that allows you to dig in, come back out, go left, right, up, down, until you’ve found the right material.

visualization

seeing a thumbnail in a spreadsheet shouldn’t be how you visualize materials. for swatchbook, we’ve built this platform to make the user experience focused on the visualization of materials. touch & feel won’t go away on physical products, but your visual senses should certainly be engaged.

sharing

what better way to collaborate with your team than to share your collections with them. these can be organizational collections like seasonal material palettes or private material development collections for those times you’re collaborating with your favorite supplier. we think it’s all about sharing, all those feels, but mostly all the materials.,

a cloud platform revolutionizing the exploration, visualization & sharing of materials

a visual exploration into virtual materials, yours & ours

what does swatchbook offer?

pro features

collections

these are the core of how to collaborate with your own process & team. collections are similar to playlists and albums except they store swatch data. it could be your spring 2020 collection which you need your team to see, or your fall line that as a supplier you want to share with your clients.

search & filter

search is crucial for finding your data. but at swatchbook we realize exploring a material library isn’t about the destination, it’s about the journey & our search engine mirrors that testament. we include things like fuzzy search, filter tags, visual filters, collections from search results & custom filter presets.

display options

we believe different people use their brains differently, & apply that principal in how we present our data. we distinguish the experience based on the platform but also based on the user. we think each of us should be able to navigate our libraries uniquely.

1-click sample request

you like a material but don’t have the physical swatch on site? simply click the sample request to get in touch with the supplier and request either that specific swatch or its color range. we’ll take care of filling in the details, you just click. yes, it works on collections too!

one to one

our patent pending approach to visualizing your materials makes it possible to see the scale of your material on any mobile display with a one to one approach. it means you can trust that the patterns or graphics you’re seeing match the real world materials. it's truly magical!

live sync

a 1 way asset downloading tool that allows you to sync via collections. users can use scans, images & presets of those synced collections in their favorite application. when done simply unselect the collections & sync the collections from the new season. no zipped folders, no more files all over your desktop.

qr publishing & scanning

every swatch is issued a unique downloadable qr code. simply print this code & attach to your physical swatch. use the mobile app to scan for details or collection creation. it’s a great tool for cataloguing your ever growing library.

cloud based

yes the infamous cloud. because why lug around a bunch of heavy physical hard drives when you can access your data, at any time from anywhere with an internet connection. log in, start exploring, on any platform or device.

material standardization

the material file formats landscape is fragmented. so many different format & tools making it hard to know which format to buy into. we believe in an open material standard that keeps evolving & is focused on materials end to end, that’s why we have human readable open file formats supported by major brands.

speech input

we hooked into the native speech system of your mobile phone leveraging its speech recognition & extracting search tags and phrases from them directly. this is a huge opportunity to interact with swatchbook as your personal librarian instead of a search engine.

privacy & security

from 2 factor authentication to web ssl certificate, swatchbook provides the best tools to make your data secure. we also provide tools to control how you & your designers share collections. the same holds true for suppliers. it means you only share swatches with those whom you want to share them with.

supported formats

we know designers live in a multi tool environment. in fact, we think that’s awesome. it means they’re using the right tool for each unique job. swatchbook supports a host of formats like axf, clo, keyshot, modo, octane, optitex, substance, unity, unreal, vray, vred, vstitcher, xtex with more to come.

admin features = pro features +

swatch creation

this is about your library. authors can create swatches from scratch. you can upload scans, reference images, documents, sample product shots, simulation measurement data & supplier data. we take all that data & create the virtual swatch for you with thumbnails, presets & material definition files.

librarian admin panel

administrating a user base for materials isn’t an easy task. it needs to be super flexible but also simple to use. we’ve built our system to allow any material librarian to control user access, supplier data interaction, easy swatch creation, automation systems & configurable custom filters easily & quickly.

automagician

well at least that’s what we call it. an automation backend that does magical things like automatic creation of images, presets & thumbnails based on uploaded scans. you provide the ingredients, we provide the cake. well, the virtual cake.

rest api

we realize that brands want their material library to interact not just with their design team but also their tools like plm and visualization tools such as rendering engines. having a rest api provides an easy, programmable method to interact with the data to streamline the process for the organization.

so what do you want to know?

swatchbook was founded to evolve materials to the next level. there is an opportunity to really make a difference in the world of materials and it’s not about 3d or 2d, it’s about engaging your visual senses in the exploration of materials. we’re constantly finding new ways to interact with materials that open up the possibility of that exploration in unique, user friendly ways. whether you’re in front of that computer screen working on your next design review turntable or lounging in the break room, tablet in hand talking to your design team about next season's material pallette, or you just have a few moments to browse your phone on your commute, swatchbook has your back.

swatchbook philosophy?

it’s simple. design products that make you smile.

questions?

get in touch with us, maybe we can do great things together.

sales

any questions on sales, billing, invoicing, accounting, licenses & accounts can be directed here.

support

something not working right? can’t find a feature you were informed about? maybe you have an improvement tip you’d like to share? or maybe we got something wrong & you’d like to constructively inform us?

press

like what you see & want to talk about it in your next pulitzer nominated article? let’s get in touch & help you out!

other

maybe you’re passionate about materials & want to chat with someone that shares similar concerns regarding why lab color values aren’t consistent across mobile devices, or maybe you just couldn’t fit your question in the other 3 departments.

we’ll hopefully get in touch with you as soon as marvin comes back from lunch within 1-2 business days

DISPUTES
With Company
A.　 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all aspects of the Website and Company Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State/Commonwealth of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts located in USA County, State of California, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded from this Agreement. Additionally, application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from this Agreement. In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Website or Company Services be instituted more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose.
B.　 Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other.
C.　 Binding Arbitration. If you and Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or Company may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in USA County, State of California. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
D.　 Restrictions.  You and Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Company and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
E.　 Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration.   You and Company agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of any of your or Company’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief. If this Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this Section found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and you and Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Users of the Website Generally
“Non-Personally-Identifying Information” is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. “Personally-Identifying Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators, Company gathers from users of the Website Non-Personally-Identifying Information of the sort that Web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the websites the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the Website. Although such information is not Personally-Identifying Information, it may be possible for Company to determine from an IP address a user’s Internet service provider and the geographic location of the visitor’s point of connectivity as well as other statistical usage data. Company analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website to help Company better understand how the Website is being used. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, Company is able to better design the Website to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. From time to time, Company may also release the Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Website users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website.
Web Cookies
A “Web Cookie” is a string of information which assigns you a unique identification that a website stores on a user’s computer, and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the website. We use cookies on the Website to keep track of services you have used, to record registration information regarding your login name and password, to record your user preferences, to keep you logged into the Website and to facilitate purchase procedures. Company also uses Web Cookies to track the pages that users visit during each Website session, both to help Company improve users’ experiences and to help Company understand how the Website is being used. As with other Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website, Company analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help Company, its partners and others better understand how the Website is being used. COMPANY USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. WEBSITE USERS WHO REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
Web Beacons
A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page or email that is usually invisible to the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page or an email. Company may use Web Beacons on the Website and in emails to count users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails and to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons are not used to access users’ Personally-Identifying Information. They are a technique Company may use to compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a page or email view and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides. You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web Cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline Web Cookies on an individual basis.
Analytics
We may use third-party vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past activity on the Website, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. The information collected may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you can install an opt-out in your web browser (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/) and/or opt out from Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network by using Google’s Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads).

COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Website Registration
As defined above, Personally-Identifying Information is information that can be directly associated with a specific person.

Company Disclosures
Company will disclose Personally-Identifying Information under the following circumstances:
  • By Law or to Protect Rights. When we believe disclosure is appropriate, we may disclose Personally-Identifying Information in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Company, our users, our employees or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.

If you wish to opt-out of receiving marketing materials from Company, you may do so by following the unsubscribe link in the email communications, by going to your account settings (if applicable) or contacting us using the contact information below.

These services may include fulfilling orders, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, supporting the Website’s functionality and supporting contests, sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered through the Website. We may also share your name, contact information and credit card information with our authorized service providers who process credit card payments. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purpose.
  • Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. Company reserves the right to transfer all Personally-Identifying Information in its possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of Company’s assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred Personally-Identifying Information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if you are given notice of that new privacy policy and are given an opportunity to affirmatively opt-out of it. Personally-Identifying Information submitted or collected after a transfer, however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor organization.
Changing Personally-Identifying Information; Account Termination
You may at any time review or change your Personally-Identifying Information by going to your account settings (if applicable) or contacting us using the contact information below. Upon your request, we will deactivate or delete your account and contact information from our active databases. Such information will be deactivated or deleted as soon as practicable based on your account activity and accordance with our deactivation policy and applicable law.

We will retain in our files some Personally-Identifying Information to prevent fraud, to troubleshoot problems, to assist with any investigations, to enforce our Terms of Use and to comply with legal requirements as is permitted by law. Therefore, you should not expect that all your Personally-Identifying Information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests. Additionally, we keep a history of changed information to investigate suspected fraud with your account.

We may use financial information or payment method to process payment for any purchases made on the Website, enroll you in the discount, rebate, and other programs in which you elect to participate, to protect against or identify possible fraudulent transactions and otherwise as needed to manage our business.
COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTIES GENERALLY
Company contractually prohibits its contractors, affiliates, vendors and suppliers from disclosing Personally-Identifying Information received from Company, other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect to Personally-Identifying Information that users provide directly to those third parties, or that those third parties collect for themselves. These third parties include advertisers, providers of games, utilities, widgets and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Website. Company neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications accessible through the Website. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on the Website, directly through the Website or otherwise, and before providing any Personally-Identifying Information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website or application, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.
