Nuestra solución de lectoras de gafetes permite a los expositores registrar de manera instantánea y precisa a todos los visitantes que interactúan con su stand. A través del escaneo de un código QR impreso en el gafete del asistente, cada expositor puede capturar automáticamente los datos de contacto de sus leads, notas de texto, notas de voz, calificadores e incluso fotografías. Este sistema no solo agiliza la recolección de información, sino que también permite un seguimiento estructurado posterior al evento. Los datos capturados pueden visualizarse en tiempo real desde una plataforma digital segura, con opciones para exportar, segmentar o sincronizar directamente con CRMs existentes. Además, las lectoras facilitan la medición del tráfico en el stand, el nivel de engagement y el interés por productos específicos, ayudando a las marcas a evaluar el retorno de inversión de su participación en la expo.
