Free, browser-based, nothing to install at the booth.
The whole workflow fits in your phone
CardToDeal is a free business card scanner for exhibitions that runs in any browser, with no app to download and no account needed to scan. At a show your rep collects 20 to 100-plus cards a day, and the gap between picking one up and seeing it in the pipeline is where leads disappear. The eight steps below close that gap to a few seconds per card, and they sit at the heart of turning a business card into a sales pipeline. The free tier gives 5 scans a day, or 50 a day with a quick email signup.
Using CardToDeal at the booth, step by step
Open CardToDeal
Open the scanner in your phone or laptop browser. Nothing to install, no login to start scanning.
Upload or photograph
Snap the card with your camera or upload a JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. A WhatsApp photo from earlier works too.
Extract the fields
OCR pulls name, company, email, every phone number, LinkedIn, website and address — across 40+ languages.
Verify on screen
Check the extracted fields and fix anything the card printed oddly — the moment that kills the wrong-email and missing-country-code errors.
Export or save
Copy the details, export to CSV or Excel, or email the result to yourself — useful as a quick backup.
Tag the context
Add the show, booth, day, rep, product interest, buyer type and urgency — the sales context the card never carried.
Push to VynDeal
Send the tagged lead into VynDeal, where it gets an owner, follow-up reminders and a deal stage.
Track the deal
Move it through Scanned, Lead, MQL, SQL, RFQ, Quote and Won, with per-show ROI reporting behind it.
Turn the workflow into a pipeline
CardToDeal scans and tags; VynDeal owns the follow-up, the stages, the quotes and the ROI. 14-day free trial.
What the scanner captures
The verify step matters because the card is only the entry point; the conversation is the lead. CardToDeal extracts the contact data cleanly so your rep can spend their attention on the context, not on retyping a phone number with the wrong country code.

"CardToDeal turns exhibition visiting cards into trackable sales leads before your competitor sends the first follow-up. The card in your hand becomes a tracked deal before the visitor reaches the next stand." — Field note, Quiamo exhibition desk
From scan to quote, without leaving the flow
Because CardToDeal pushes into VynDeal, a booth ask for pricing doesn't have to wait until you're back at the office. Scan the card, open the lead in VynDeal, and build a GST-compliant quote in minutes — the path is laid out in visiting card to GST quote. That speed is the whole point: first contact within 24 hours converts about seven times better than after seven days, and the broader trade show capture playbook shows why the first-reply race is won at the booth.
