Exphora is the only CRM purpose-built for trade show booth builders, exhibition stand designers and expo service companies. It exists because our founder spent 22 years writing software for the trade show industry — including ExpoSquad®, Tuyap TV and delivery for Reed Exhibitions, Mercedes-Benz, Panasonic and Samsung.
We saw the same gap from inside the industry for a decade. Generic CRMs miss the shape of this work entirely. So we built the one we always wished existed.
Our founder Yasin Kucuk has been writing software professionally since 1999. Twenty-two years in, he had shipped enterprise platforms for Mercedes-Benz, Panasonic, Samsung, Ford and Turkcell. He had won Mercedes Global’s “Best Practice” award and Novartis Europe’s “Innovation” award. And, increasingly, he had spent his time building software for one specific industry: trade shows and live events.
From Tuyap TV for Tüyap Expo, to Apollo Conference Room Manager deployed across Reed Exhibitions venues, to ExpoSquad® — a full event & expo management platform — he watched the same pattern repeat year after year. Booth builders, exhibition contractors and expo service companies were running multimillion-dollar operations on spreadsheets, generic CRMs that did not understand what a booth was, and inboxes that lost half the proposals they ever sent.
Generic CRMs sell “contacts” and “deals.” This industry sells booths at specific shows on specific dates — with hall numbers, stand sizes, electric loads, fabrication lists, on-site teams and sponsor packages. None of that fits in a HubSpot pipeline. So in 2024, we launched Exphora — the first CRM, designer and exhibitor-database platform built only and exactly for the people who build trade show booths for a living.
Yasin started writing software in 1999 as a Senior Software Developer at Panasonic ISC Türkiye, where he stayed for six years. From 2005 to 2009 he worked at Leica Geosystems / Hexagon as an IT Consultant, then at Arıkanlı Holding from 2009 to 2011. In 2009 he founded Sentio Technologies in Istanbul, focused on custom enterprise software for media, retail and event industries.
Over the next 15 years, Yasin’s teams shipped some of the most ambitious event-tech and signage projects in the region: a 2,600-dealer real-time digital signage network for the Turkey Jockey Club streaming live betting odds, an Apollo Conference Room Manager deployed across Reed Exhibitions venues, multiple Mercedes-Benz internal platforms (winning Mercedes Global’s “Best Practice” award), Sanovel-Novartis TV (winning Novartis Europe’s “Innovation” award), HAAI sales tracking for 1,400 Samsung/Neutec pharmaceutical reps, and city-wide LED management for both Istanbul and Ankara Municipalities.
In September 2021 he founded Periger Technologies, headquartered in Los Angeles. Periger built ExpoSquad® — a complete event and expo management platform — and continued delivery for global clients including Mercedes-Benz, Panasonic, Samsung, Tüyap Expo and Reed Exhibitions. By 2024, Yasin had spent more than a decade watching the trade-show industry build multi-million-dollar operations on spreadsheets and generic CRMs that simply do not understand booths.
Exphora is the answer to that decade of frustration. It is the CRM, 3D Booth Designer, AI proposal engine and global exhibitor database that Yasin always wished his trade-show clients had. He runs Exphora from Beverly Hills, with engineering spread across Los Angeles and Istanbul.
