A single conference can leave you with fifty business cards and a stack of leads scribbled on napkins. By the time you're back at your desk, half of them are creased, coffee-stained, missing, or you forgot who the card even belonged to. That's on top of the badges and QR codes you scan in the moment, mid-conversation, before the next person walks up. Bulk scanning captures it all in an instant, so no lead gets lost between the show floor and your follow-up email.
Lead generation only works when capture is simple, fast, and accurate. HiHello's universal scanner clears all three, whether you're processing one card or a hundred, on every plan from Free through Enterprise.
Capture a whole stack without touching each card
Scanning is as easy as taking a photo in the HiHello app. Lay out your cards and badges, take a picture of each one, and the scanner captures the batch. Already have photos of your cards on your phone? Bulk upload them instead and skip the re-scan.
No manual adjustments, no spell-checking, no filling in what a scan missed. With HiHello connected to your CRM, every scan lands where your team already works, with zero extra data entry.
Fast enough to keep up with the show floor
Nobody at a conference wants to stand still while you photograph their card. Automatic edge detection and auto-capture mean you place a card, QR code, or badge in view, and HiHello captures it, no click required. That same speed scales to a full stack: process a single card or a hundred in one sitting.
It's accurate
The last thing anyone wants is a lead with a bad email address or a dead phone number. HiHello runs every scan, single card or full stack, through a stringent transcription process designed for accuracy, with no extra effort on your part. Accuracy doesn't drop as the stack gets bigger, whether it's one card or a hundred.
Why bulk capture matters for event ROI
88% of paper business cards are thrown away within a week, according to Adobe's business card research. Every one of those was a real conversation and a real opportunity before it hit the trash.
Events are one of the highest-value channels marketers have, but proving it is another story: 41% of marketers say they struggle to measure event ROI. Part of that gap starts on the show floor, when leads get captured on paper and lost before they're ever logged. Timing compounds it: leads that aren't followed up on quickly convert at a fraction of the rate of leads contacted right away.
Bulk scanning closes that gap. Every card lands in your CRM the same day you leave the floor, correctly captured and ready for follow-up.
Bulk scanning works across every HiHello plan, from Free through Enterprise. How many cards you can transcribe each month depends on your plan; visit the Pricing page to check your limit or upgrade.
