Badge scanner app
One badge scan. The whole lead.
Name and company come from the badge. Swopi AI adds the LinkedIn profile, seniority, location and company details.

Lead retrieval app or rented badge scanner?
A rented scanner covers one show. Swopi covers every trade show.
| Topic | Rented badge scanner | Swopi app |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | Rented for each show | Phones your team already carries |
| Badges | One show only | Any badge, any language |
| The lead | Name and company, after the show | Name, company, email, phone, LinkedIn |
| CRM | A spreadsheet to import | Live sync to 5,000+ CRMs and apps |
| Follow-up | Written days later | Drafted by Swopi AI |
| Booth team | One list per device | Each person scans on their own phone |
What does the rented option cost? Read our guide to lead retrieval cost.

Swopi AI enrichment
From badge to CRM record, with the email the badge does not show
A badge gives you a name and a company. Swopi AI adds the work email, phone, LinkedIn and company facts, then the lead goes to HubSpot, Salesforce or your CRM while the visitor is still at your booth.

Hi Elena, Great talking at booth 12 today, especially about lead times on the new sensor line and how you ship across the EU. I'm sending the pricing sheet and the two case studies we discussed. Would Tuesday work for a short call? Best, Alex Rivera

Badge scanner app questions
What is a lead retrieval app?
A lead retrieval app captures the details of people who visit your booth at a trade show. Swopi does it on your team's own phones: scan the badge, and the visitor becomes a lead with email, phone and company details, ready in your CRM.
Is Swopi a lead scanner app?
Yes. Swopi is a lead scanner app for iPhone and Android. It scans event badges, paper business cards and QR codes. Swopi AI adds contact and company data, and the lead goes to your CRM.
How does a badge scanner app work?
Open the scanner in the Swopi app and point your phone at the badge. Swopi reads the printed name, title and company, or the QR code when it is open. Swopi AI then adds the work email, phone and company facts, and the lead is ready for your CRM. It works the same at trade shows, conferences and smaller events.
Is there a free badge scanner app?
Yes. You can try the Swopi badge scanner for free in the app on iPhone and Android, with no hardware to rent. Booth teams that want Swopi AI for everyone and CRM sync use Event Lead Capture, one license for the whole company.
Do I need to rent the organizer's badge scanner?
No. Swopi works with the badge itself. You do not need the organizer's app, a rented device or an export after the show.
What if the QR code on the badge is locked?
Many organizers lock the badge QR code so that only their own app can read it. Swopi does not need it. It reads the name and company printed on the badge, and Swopi AI finds the rest.
Which badges can Swopi scan?
Visitor, exhibitor and speaker badges, with or without a QR code or barcode, in any language and alphabet, including Arabic and Japanese. The same app also scans paper business cards and LinkedIn QR codes.
Can the whole booth team scan at the same time?
Yes. Everyone scans with the Swopi app on their own phone. The leads from the booth are ready for your CRM.
Which CRMs does Swopi send leads to?
More than 5,000 CRMs and apps. Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Zoho CRM, monday.com, Pipedrive, Outlook and Slack connect natively, and Zapier connects Swopi to more than 5,000 other apps. Leads arrive in native fields, tagged with the event.
How much does the badge scanner cost?
You can try it free in the Swopi app. For booth teams, Event Lead Capture is one license for the whole company with unlimited users and scans. Request pricing on the pricing page and we send you a quote.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Your team installs the Swopi app on the iPhones and Android phones they already carry. There is no hardware to rent, ship or return.
Where is the lead data stored?
In Google Cloud data centers in the EU (europe-west1), under GDPR. Companies get a data processing agreement.
