Scan QR, NFC and Paper Cards With One App
Your prospect hands you a paper card. The next person taps their NFC ring. The third shares a QR on their phone screen. Your scanner should handle all three the same way.
Four formats, one scan flow
Your scanner accepts: paper cards via camera, QR codes via camera, NFC via phone tap, and direct digital profile sharing via app-to-app exchange.
Your rep uses the same flow regardless of format.
Why format-agnostic matters
Your team will encounter all four formats at the same event. A scanner that handles only paper is obsolete; one that handles only digital misses the most common case.
Your scanner should be format-agnostic by default.
Paper
Your scanner reads paper cards with OCR and field detection.
QR code
Your scanner reads QR codes that encode vCards, Popl profiles, event attendee IDs or plain URLs.
NFC
Your scanner reads NFC tags on cards, rings, wristbands and phones.
CRM record is the same shape
Your CRM Contact or Lead record looks identical whether the data came from a paper card or an NFC tap. Fields populate, ownership assigns, validation fires.
Your reporting doesn’t need to know the source format.
Format-specific enrichment
Your QR-sourced contacts can include extra fields the paper version didn’t have (LinkedIn URL, avatar image, pronouns). Your scanner preserves those.
Your contact records stay as rich as the source data allows.
Future formats welcome
Your scanner’s format handling is extensible. New card formats, whatever comes next, plug into the same scan flow.
Your team doesn’t need to adopt a new app every time the market changes.
