Your question answered

These are some of the most common questions about scanning badges, qualifying leads, and helping exhibitors follow up faster after the show.

Contact us

What do exhibitors scan with?

Exhibitor staff scan attendee badges from their own phones, so there is no scanner hardware to rent, distribute or collect at the end of the show.

Can exhibitors qualify a lead at the booth?

Yes. Staff can add notes and interest tags at the moment of the scan, so the record reaching the CRM carries context rather than just a name.

How do leads get to our exhibitors' CRMs?

Leads export to CSV and connect through the platform integrations, so exhibitors can follow up from their own system rather than a spreadsheet.

When can exhibitors see their leads?

During the show. Captured leads are available in real time rather than in a post-event file, which is where most follow-up delay comes from.
