You urgently need to call one of your companies’ clients. You have the phone in your hand ready to dial. You check your companies customer relationship management (CRM) software only to find out that the client’s phone number is missing. Extremely frustrating, right? Plus a massive time waster, because now you need to go look for the number. Many businesses struggle with this problem, because employees don’t like to do simple admin tasks like updating CRM records. This is were ScanBizCards comes in.
ScanBizCards
With this app, you can make a picture of a business card and directly upload it to your CRM. The best part of it is, you can integrate it with SuiteCRM (read also: Open Source Software – goodbye overhead costs!). The app itself is priced at $3, so you can imagine this small investment will pay itself off quite fast.
I have used the app for quite a while and I love it. It doesn’t read all the business cards with 100% accuracy, but the quality is definitely good enough to be useful. By the way, if ScanBizCards does not recognize the text of a particular business card, you can use their manual transcription (2 free included, then 50 credits for $10).
So if you are interested, you can download the app at:
Happy automating!
