ScanDeck is a per-event lead capture app for trade shows, expos, and conferences. Aim your iPhone at an attendee badge, scan the QR code, and the lead lands in your booth's list with a name, company, and email, all under a vendor login your event organizer issued you. Built for the rest of us. The big enterprise lead retrieval systems charge $1,500 to $3,000 per event, lock you into annual contracts, and force a sales call before you can buy. ScanDeck is self-serve, transparent, and priced per event from $299. WHAT'S IN THE BOX • Fast badge scanning, point, scan, done. Optimized decoder reads codes off badges, screens, and printed sheets. • Vendor logins, not company accounts. Every booth staffer gets their own PIN protected login. No shared passwords. • Lead notes and tags, add a follow up note or tag right after the scan while the conversation is fresh, even offline. • Search, find that "guy from Acme" without scrolling. • Manual entry, for the occasional badge that will not scan or the LinkedIn handoff at dinner. • Offline capable, keeps working when the convention center Wi Fi falls over. Syncs when you are back online. • Per event pricing, $0 free trial, $299 Starter, $599 Standard, $1,099 Plus, $2,199 Pro. Custom quote for the big shows. HOW IT WORKS 1. Your event organizer sets up the event in ScanDeck and issues your booth a vendor code. 2. You sign in on the day with the vendor code, pick your name, and enter your personal PIN. 3. You scan badges. The lead drops into your list instantly. 4. After the show, you export the leads as a CSV that opens in Excel or Google Sheets and imports straight into HubSpot or Salesforce. WHO IT'S FOR • Regional and mid market trade shows that do not justify enterprise lead retrieval. • Exhibitors who do not want a sales call or an annual contract. • Event organizers looking for a per event tool to bundle with their attendee package. PRIVACY ScanDeck only reads the code on the badge. Badges printed by ScanDeck carry an attendee token that resolves to the contact details your event organizer loaded for the event; nothing else on the badge is captured. Camera frames are processed on your device and never leave it. Lead data is stored on Cloudflare infrastructure. We do not sell or rent personal data. Full policy at scandeckapp.com/privacy. REQUIRES • iOS 16 or later • A vendor code and PIN issued by your event organizer • An internet connection for sync. Offline mode keeps capturing in the meantime. Questions? info@scandeckapp.com
