Updated: 2026-11-12

JOOR is a wholesale marketplace: virtual showrooms, digital line sheets and a network of retail buyers. Samplyn is a private system for your own accounts, and it also runs the samples, production and shipments behind each order.

Checked on the vendor's own site on 2026-11-12; next review by 2027-02-12. "Not described" means the vendor's pages did not describe it when we checked.

## Where JOOR is stronger

- A network: the vendor reports 700,000+ retail buyers and 14,000+ brands. Samplyn brings no new buyers; it serves the ones you have.
- Virtual showrooms built for discovery by buyers who do not know you yet.
- 100+ ERP integrations.

## Where Samplyn fits better

- Your buyers are your existing department-store, specialty and off-price accounts, and you want them in a private portal scoped to each one.
- You need what happens after the order: sample requests and custody, purchase orders, time-and-action milestones, factories and containers.
- You want one record from the first sample to the last carton, not a showroom plus spreadsheets.
