CADS BD Intelligence

The fastest way for field business development teams to capture, organize, and act on the relationships they build in the wild. Built for the small-team reality of BD work — where everyone's adding entries from a different airport — every change syncs back to the shared Google Sheet your team already runs on. No new CRM to learn, no separate database, no data lock-in. WHAT YOU GET • Scan business cards with your phone camera. AI extracts the name, title, email, phone, company, website, and address straight into a clean contact entry. Skip the typing. • Track every organization in your pipeline — status, country, product fit, full contact roster. Filter and search across hundreds of entries in seconds. • Capture notes inline. Each entry auto-stamps with your name and today's date, builds into a running activity log per organization, and rolls up into AI-generated trip summaries. • Custom date-range filtering — "everything from last week's trip", "everything since the Q1 conference", "the last 90 days in EMEA". • Built-in duplicate detection. Scan a second person's card at the same firm and the app offers to add them as a new contact on the existing record instead of creating a duplicate row. • Smart status normalization — typos and casing differences in your status column ("Engagement active" vs "engagement active") get unified automatically so filters and summaries stay clean. • Multi-contact support per organization. Track everyone you've met at an account, with title, email, phone, and who scanned/added them. POWERED BY YOUR TOOLS The whole app sits on top of a single shared Google Sheet — your team's existing spreadsheet is the source of truth. The app is just a faster way to read and write to it from your phone. AI assist is powered by Claude (Anthropic) — card OCR, trip summary generation, and contact extraction. Bring your own Anthropic API key. PRIVACY Your data lives in your Google Sheet, full stop. The app stores nothing on its own servers. Sign-in uses your existing Google account. AI processing is sent directly to Anthropic with the API key you configure — never routed through a third party. WHO IT'S FOR • BD reps tracking trade shows, conferences, and on-site customer engagements • Field sales teams managing distributed pipelines from the road • Custom diagnostic solutions teams (where the "CADS" name comes from) • Anyone who's been using a shared Google Sheet as a "rough CRM" and wished opening it on their phone wasn't painful
