DataOrigin Lead Scanner is a badge scanner and business card scanner for trade shows, conferences and professional events. Point the camera at the badge or the card and the app fills in the name, company, job title, email, phone and website. You save the contact in seconds and get back to the conversation.
It is free and works at any trade show. It does not depend on the organizer, you do not need to rent the official lead retrieval device and there is no limit on scans.
A BETTER WAY TO CAPTURE TRADE SHOW LEADS
The scanner the organizer rents out costs money at every show, only reads that event's badges and sends you the data days later in a spreadsheet. Business cards end up in a pocket and paper notes get lost. After the show nobody remembers what was said to whom or who to call first.
Lead Scanner lets you capture, qualify and export contacts from your own phone, at every show on your calendar, with the same app.
WHAT YOU CAN SCAN
- Trade show badges. The app reads the printed text and also QR, PDF417, Aztec and Data Matrix codes when they carry the contact details.
- Paper business cards.
- vCard or MeCard QR codes.
- Handwritten notes with contact details.
- Photos of cards you already have in your phone gallery.
QUALIFY EVERY LEAD ON THE SPOT
- Tag each lead as hot, warm or cold.
- Write notes, record voice notes or dictate them while you talk.
- Edit any field before saving.
- Link each contact to its trade show. Find yours among thousands of shows worldwide or create a new one.
MORE RELIABLE DATA
The app checks that the email domain accepts mail and that the company website exists. Before you follow up, you know which contacts have details that work.
WORKS OFFLINE
Exhibition halls often have no signal. Lead Scanner scans and saves without internet and runs the checks when the connection comes back.
EXPORT TO YOUR CRM
- Export contacts as CSV, ready to import into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho or a spreadsheet.
- Share the file by email, Drive or any app you use.
- Save a contact to your phone contacts with one tap.
YOUR CONTACTS ARE YOURS
The contacts, photos and notes you scan are stored only on your phone. DataOrigin does not upload them to any server. The app only sends anonymous usage counters, with no data about the people you scan. The camera and microphone are used only when you ask, and analytics are turned on only with your consent.
WHO IT IS FOR
- Exhibitors who want to record every visitor to the booth.
- Sales reps and sales managers who visit trade shows to find customers.
- Marketing teams who need to measure the return of each event.
- Founders and startups who attend conferences and networking events.
