SmartScan

SmartScan for Android is a smart choice for exhibitors to do this easily.

Badge Scanning That Actually Works at Events

The main function here is simple enough: scan the badge of an attendee in order to pull their contact details into a predefined format. This includes their name, company, job title, email and phone number. No manual typing, no business card chaos. The app’s badge scanning process is speedy. At a busy exhibition with hundreds of people walking past your booth, speed is essential to handle visitors efficiently.

SmartScan stands out because it connects to Exhibitor Hub in real-time, the cloud-based dashboard that serves as mission control for your event productivity. All the leads you scan are added to a Google spreadsheet-style view that your whole team can edit. With our team collaboration function, you can engage with booth staff to handle prospects even when you are at the office reviewing notes and planning follow-ups. The catch? Being tightly coupled with LiveBuzz’s own ecosystem means you are reliant on their infrastructure and cannot operate as a standalone app.

Custom Qualification and Offline Capability

SmartScan provides customizable lead qualification forms, so you can customize your questions and notes according to your business’s goals. Let’s say you are a software vendor at a technology conference. You can add fields that ask about budget timeline, current tools, or pain points. This way, what was a basic contact scan will change into qualified lead management solution. The app’s quick search and filtering feature allows you to find that VP from an automotive firm you spoke with on day two in seconds – not minutes of scrolling.

The offline lead capture feature is where SmartScan shines. At event venues, WiFi is often spotty and cellular networks are overloaded, but this app continues to work well even offline. Your badge scanning app keeps collecting the visitor qualification data, and everything will sync again as soon as you go back online. Key features include.

– Get access to scanned lead data in a spreadsheet at once.
– Prearranged Activities and Personalized Remarks for Every Contact.
– Exhibition Management Team Access Multiple Users
– When connected, spreadsheet updates in real-time.
– Get Download options for immediate Import to CRM.

The Reality for Non-Event Users

The honest assessment? SmartScan does a great job in its niche, but it is worthless otherwise. This scanning tool is not for you, if you’re not a show exhibitor or an event professional who regularly attends trade shows. This doesn’t serve general-purpose document scanning, PDF conversion, and everyday QR codes. According to reports from the corporate event industry, it is only useful in live events which are in-person networking scenarios where badge data, exists in the first place.

SmartScan is a freemium application, currently with no ads or in-app purchases. It is targeted towards the Business category and is rated for everyone.

If you work trade shows thoroughly and require fast, reliable, lead capture and team collaboration, then SmartScan will help you with that. It is a focused exhibition management tool that successfully does only one job, but does it very well. It’s best to use a general-purpose scanner if you aren’t a professional event photographer.
