Contact exchange and card scanning

Contacts that survive
the trip home.

Scan a code to swap details, or photograph a paper card and have it read into structured contact fields. Either way the contact is in the app, not in a jacket pocket that goes to the dry cleaner.

Why cards still get lost

The exchange works. It is the week afterwards that fails

Business cards are collected enthusiastically and typed up almost never. The contact was made at the event; the value is lost in the fortnight it takes for nobody to transcribe them.

Paper has not gone away

Cards are still handed over, particularly across regions and industries where they are a courtesy. Pretending otherwise loses the contact.

A code is faster than typing

Two phones and one scan beats spelling an email address out over a noisy hall.

A contact must leave in a usable form

A name in an app is not enough. It has to reach a phone's address book or a CRM without retyping.

The card should look like your event

A shared profile is a branded artefact. It carries your event's identity, not a generic template.

For attendees

Two directions, one contact list

Your own digital card

Every attendee has a shareable profile — by QR, by link, or as a vCard file that drops straight into a phone's contacts.

Scan someone else's code

Scan another attendee's code to exchange details, with no typing and no spelling anything out.

Photograph a paper card

A card is captured with the camera and read into structured contact fields automatically, so the paper is no longer the record.

Export as a contact file

Contacts leave as .vcf, which is what a phone address book and most CRMs already understand.

A record of who you met

Exchanged contacts sit with your connections, so the list is still there when you are writing follow-ups on the flight home.

Carry on the conversation

A contact you have exchanged with can be messaged inside the event, so the follow-up starts before you have left the building.

For the organizing team

Design the card, set who can scan

The contact card is a template you control, and card scanning is a feature you grant — to everyone, or to the ticket types that paid for it.

FAQ

Business Card Scanning questions

How does an attendee share their details?

Each attendee has a digital business card they can share by QR code, by link, or as a .vcf contact file that saves straight into a phone's address book.

What happens to paper business cards?

They are photographed in the app and read into structured contact fields automatically, so the details are captured without anyone transcribing the card later.

Do both people need the app open?

One scans the other's code, which is enough to exchange details. Cards can also be shared as a plain link for anyone who is not in the app.

Can we brand the business card?

Yes. The contact card template is designed by the host, so what attendees share carries your event's identity.

Can contact scanning be limited to certain attendees?

Yes. It is granted per attendee, so it can be included with some ticket types and withheld from others.

Do exhibitors use the same thing?

Yes. Booth teams photograph cards into their lead list with the same parsing, so an exhibitor's leads and an attendee's contacts work the same way.
