Business card scanning software helps users scan and manage the information within digital business cards in bulk. Some tools provide users with physical scanning devices, but the most common upload method is by taking a photo and uploading it onto the product’s business scanner mobile application. Once business cards are uploaded to the platform, the contact information is digitized and stored in a virtual address book, allowing the user to view and manage contacts. Contacts are organized into the product’s database or integrated CRM software. Users can attach tags and annotations to help keep track of contacts.
Business card scanning software benefits sales teams and works well alongside lead retrieval software, as both tools are an effective way to capture lead information in bulk after networking events. The scanning feature of business card scanning software performs similarly to the main feature of document scanning software. Both tools streamline the document scanning process, but business card scanning software provides more robust contact management and sharing capabilities.
In addition to benefiting sales teams, business card scanning software helps users across all industries modernize the business card collection and distribution process. For example, business card scanning software is also commonly implemented by recruiters, who can collect business cards during a networking event and upload them to the platform. Once uploaded, recruiters can quickly access the repository of contact information related to the potential hires, streamlining the recruitment process.
To qualify for inclusion in the Business Card Scanning category, a product must:
Allow users to scan and digitize business cards directly to the platform
Extract and store business card data
Provide contact management and export capabilities
