Lead retrieval app or rented badge scanner?

The organiser's scanner works at one show and gives you a list later. Swopi works at every show and gives you a lead you can call today.

How badge scanning works with Swopi

  1. 1

    Scan the badge

    Point your phone at any event badge. Swopi reads the name and company, and the QR code when it can.

  2. 2

    Swopi AI fills in the rest

    It finds the work email, phone, LinkedIn and company facts the badge does not show.

  3. 3

    The lead is in your CRM

    In the right fields, tagged with the event, with a follow-up email ready to send.

Works with every event badge

Every show prints a different badge. Swopi reads what is printed on it, so it works the same at a small meetup and at a large international trade show.

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.

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.

Do I need to rent the organiser's badge scanner?

No. Swopi works with the badge itself. You do not need the organiser's app, a rented device or an export after the show.

What if the QR code on the badge is locked?

Many organisers 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 on their own phone and event mode shows every lead the booth captures on one screen: who captured it, which leads are hot and what is already in the 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 licence 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 EU data centres. Swopi is a European company, so GDPR applies by default, and a data processing agreement is available for companies.
