The problem it solves

After a conference or meeting, you end up with a stack of business cards and no time to type each one into your CRM. Leads sit around until someone gets to the data entry, or they get lost entirely.

Who it fits

A sales team or business owner who collects business cards at events and needs them in the CRM fast.

How it works

  1. You upload a photo or scan of a business card through a form
  2. AI reads the card and extracts the name, company, phone, email, and address
  3. The extracted details are structured into the right lead fields
  4. A new lead is created automatically in Salesforce

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
