Met someone at an event or on a walk-in? Instead of typing their details in by hand, scan their business card and VendScout will read it and create the lead for you.
How to scan a card
Open Leads and choose the Scan business card option (the camera/card icon).
Take a photo of the card, or upload one you've already taken.
VendScout uses OCR to read the name, company, title, phone, email, and address.
Review the extracted fields, fix anything that didn't read cleanly, and save.
The new contact lands in your CRM as a lead, ready to enrich, tag, and work like any other.
Tips for the best read
Shoot the card straight-on in good light, filling most of the frame.
Avoid glare and shadows across the text.
Always glance over the extracted fields before saving — unusual fonts or logos can occasionally be misread.
Good to know
Scanning a card creates a standard lead, so everything you can do with a lead — enrichment, scoring, sequences, mockups — works from there.
