Scan Business Cards / Create a Digital Card
Streamline how business cards are managed and shared.
Here's How:
What Are the Business Card Tools?
The software includes two powerful, complementary business card features:
- Business Card Scanner — Scan a physical business card with your phone and instantly create a CRM contact from the extracted data
- Digital Business Card QR Code
— Create a fully branded, scannable digital business card that shares your client's complete contact and business information with anyone who scans it.
Together, these tools eliminate the black hole of physical business cards — the stack that sits on a desk for weeks and never gets entered into a CRM — and replace it with an easy-to-use tool that efficiently captures business contact data for sales and marketing purposes.
Business Card Scanner
Capture Leads Instantly in the Field
What It Does
This feature allows users to scan business cards using the mobile app to create new contacts efficiently — automatically extracting contact details and adding them directly to the CRM.
How It Works
- Open the mobile app and select the account
- Access the scanner from:
- The Contacts page → tap "+" → "Scan Business Card"
- The Contact Creation screen → tap the scan icon
- The Quick Actions menu → "Scan Business Card"
- Position the card in the on-screen frame
- App automatically extracts all contact details
- Review, edit if needed, and save — contact is live in the CRM immediately
Key Benefits for Homebuilders & Remodelers
Instant Contact Creation — No Manual Data Entry
- Scan a card, and the contact is in the CRM in under 30 seconds
- Eliminates manual typing of names, phone numbers, email addresses, company names, and job titles
- No transcription errors — no more calling the wrong number because a 7 looked like a 1
- Extracted information is reviewed and editable before saving — accuracy stays in your hands
Perfect for the Job Site, Trade Shows & Networking Events
- Homebuilders and remodelers are constantly meeting people in the field — architects, suppliers, subcontractors, potential clients, real estate agents, lenders
- Scan cards on the spot — at a home show, on a job walk, at a builder association meeting
- No waiting to get back to the office to enter contacts — the data is live instantly
- Works anywhere the phone works — no office or desk required
Fully Synced to the CRM
- Contacts created via the business card scanner are saved in the app's contacts section and synchronized with the main contact database
- They can be managed like any other contact — tagged, added to pipelines, enrolled in workflows, assigned to team members
- The scanned image of the business card is not stored after saving — only the extracted contact data is retained, keeping the database clean
Triggers the Full CRM Engine
Once a contact is created from a scan, the entire platform powers up automatically:
| Automatic Action | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Tag Applied | | Contact tagged as `trade-show-lead`, `subcontractor`, `supplier`, `referral-partner` |
| Pipeline Entry | Contact drops into the correct opportunity stage |
| Workflow Triggered | Follow-up email or SMS sent automatically |
| Task Created | Sales rep assigned a follow-up task with deadline |
| Appointment Offered | Booking link sent immediately via automated text |
Digital Business Card QR Code

What It Does

Key Features
- Dynamic generation of digital business cards by selecting the Business Card QR code type
- Customizable design — colors, logos, background transparency, QR dot styles, and marker colors

- Business hours display — with individual day toggles for varying weekly schedules

Key Benefits for Homebuilders & Remodelers
One Card, Everything They Need to Know
A single QR code scan gives the homeowner or partner:
- Name, title, phone, and email
- Company name and website
- Physical address and service area
- Business hours
- Social media profiles
- A professional, branded first impression — not a flimsy paper card that gets lost in a pocket
Dynamic — Update Without Reprinting
- All QR types support dynamic URLs — update the destination without reprinting the code
- Phone number changed? Email updated? New website? Update the card, the QR code stays the same
- Print it on yard signs, truck wraps, brochures, and job site banners once — update the content anytime
- Reuse one QR code across multiple campaigns and materials over time.
Trackable — Know Who's Engaging
- Dynamic QR codes track scans and engagement data
- Know how many times a card was scanned, from which location, and when
- Understand which marketing placements — job signs, truck wraps, print ads, trade show materials — drive the most card scans
vCard Option — Save Directly to Phone Contacts
The vCard QR Code allows anyone who scans it to save the contact directly to their phone's address book — no typing, no searching, no forgetting:
- Instant sharing of comprehensive contact details, reducing manual data entry
- Customizable contact fields for tailored professional branding
- Suitable for digital networking, contactless information sharing, and efficient lead generation
- Works on all standard smartphones with QR code scanning capability
Real-World Scenarios for Homebuilders & Remodelers
Scenario 1 — The Home & Garden Show:
- A remodeler attends a two-day home show and meets 60+ potential clients and vendors. Instead of collecting a pile of cards that get stuffed in a bag, every card is scanned on the spot. By the time the show ends, 60 new contacts are in the CRM — tagged, assigned, and with follow-up emails already sent automatically.
Scenario 2 — The Subcontractor Introduction:
- A custom builder meets a new plumbing subcontractor on a job site. They exchange cards. The builder scans the sub's card immediately — contact is created, tagged `subcontractor-plumbing`, and added to the vendor pipeline. A follow-up email with the builder's standard sub onboarding package goes out automatically that afternoon.
Scenario 3 — The Yard Sign That Books Appointments:
- A remodeler places a QR code on every job site yard sign linking to their digital business card. Neighbors walking by scan the code, see the full company profile, click the website link, and fill out an estimate request form — all from a sign on the lawn. Leads generated with zero additional effort.
Scenario 4 — The Networking Event:
- A builder attends a local real estate association meeting. Instead of running out of paper cards, they show their phone screen with a QR code — every agent they meet scans it, saves the contact to their phone instantly, and the builder's details are never lost or thrown away.
Scenario 5 — The Trade Truck:
- A remodeler's truck is wrapped with a QR code linked to their digital business card. Homeowners stuck in traffic behind the truck scan it, see the business profile and phone number, and call for a quote — the truck becomes a 24/7 lead generation tool.
The Bottom Line — Before vs. After
| Without the Business Card Tools | With the Business Card Tools |
|---|---|
| Cards collected at events sit on a desk for weeks | Contacts in CRM within 30 seconds of scanning |
| Manual data entry — slow, error-prone, inconsistent | AI-extracted data — fast, accurate, reviewed before saving |
| Paper cards lost, faded, or thrown away | Every contact captured and live in the database |
| No follow-up system for new contacts | Workflows triggered automatically the moment card is scanned |
| Running out of paper cards at events | Unlimited digital card scans — no printing costs |
