Trade shows for which Scan2Lead is the official lead-tracking partner

Partner trade shows

At partner trade shows, Scan2Lead officially collaborates with the organizer. Visitors receive a badge with a barcode that you can scan using the Scan2Lead SMART app. This gives you direct access to the registration data that the organizer has made available—such as name, company, and other trade show details. All collected data is stored in the PORTAL, where you can transfer leads to your CRM. You can book hardware and software directly on-site with the organizer of the respective trade show.
  • Badge scanning with organizer information is available
  • Additional rental equipment (subject to availability)
  • Optimized for the partner trade show

Trade shows, events, or conferences without an official partnership

What customers say about Scan2Lead

Scan2Lead once again proved essential for our lead retrieval, seamlessly capturing full visitor details directly from badges. While the handheld scanners provided excellent insights into overall booth foot traffic, the mobile app was indispensable for documenting specific visitor meetings throughout the multi-day show. The app also offers the added benefit of being installable on both phones and tablets, whichever is more convenient for the end user. The solutions provided by Scan2Lead are designed to help us achieve the results we need, and they are always working to make lead collection at events as straightforward as possible for their customers.

As a sales and marketing tool, Scan2Lead helps Tadano generate leads at leading international trade shows such as Bauma and ConExpo. The system helps us better evaluate the success of our trade show appearances and efficiently follow up on leads. Its seamless integration with our existing systems is a key advantage.

We used the Scan2Lead COLLECT solution at LASER – World of Photonics and were very satisfied with it. Over the course of the four days, we generated a total of 780 leads, and after the trade show, we were able to track in detail which customers and prospects visited our booth. We will definitely use your Scan2Lead solution again at our next trade show.

Scan2Lead was very useful for us at bauma 2019 for capturing all of our leads. The high recognition rate of the scanned business cards was very impressive, and the fact that all data was transferred to our PORTAL in real time was very important! The price for this solution is absolutely fair. We were very satisfied with the fast and efficient support we received both before and during the trade show.

The Scan2Lead system worked wonderfully. The Scan2Lead SMART App is very easy and intuitive to use. After just a short training session, all of our colleagues were able to use the app. The automatic upload to the Scan2Lead PORTAL also worked very well. The leads were available to us online immediately after they were captured and could be followed up on and tracked right away.

The on-site Scan2Lead customer service, both before and after the trade show, was top-notch! And the process of updating leads in a central system was so easy. We used the handheld scanner, and both our colleagues and our visitors were thrilled with the fast and easy-to-use lead capture solution. Just one scan, and we had all the data captured!

The Scan2Lead SMART App, with its great features, made visitor registration at K much easier for us. The voice dictation feature for taking notes was especially handy, and we used it a lot. A big thank you also to the entire Scan2Lead team for their professional advice and fast service!

This is the second time I’ve used the Scan2Lead App SMART at SWISSBAU in Basel. The app is very easy to use, and I was able to enter my lead form in advance via the Scan2Lead PORTAL. Thanks to this solution, I was able to record my visitors paperlessly and with minimal effort – all I needed was my cell phone. Through the Scan2Lead PORTAL, my employees have access to the data at any time and can process inquiries immediately.

Thanks to Scan2Lead, we were able to view all the leads we captured at our booth at ILMAC in real time. All data is automatically saved in the Scan2Lead PORTAL, which is very easy and user-friendly to use. The support team also responded to all our questions very quickly and professionally.

Any questions?

01What exactly is Scan2Lead?

Scan2Lead is a lead management solution for exhibitors at trade shows and events. You can capture visitor contacts in seconds – by scanning badges at partner trade shows or by scanning business cards at any other event worldwide. All leads are automatically saved in the Scan2Lead PORTAL and can be transferred directly from there to your CRM.

02Do I need special hardware for Scan2Lead?

For the Scan2Lead SMART App and the 365 App, all you need is your own smartphone – no additional hardware required. Optionally available for rental at partner trade shows: rental iPad (preconfigured iPad with the SMART app), COLLECT (mini scanner for quick badge scanning without an internet connection), and STATION (scanner connected to a laptop for booth entrances). All rental devices are issued at the service counter on the trade show grounds.

03What is the difference between partner trade shows and 365?

Scan2Lead is available in two versions – depending on the trade show situation:

At partner trade shows, Scan2Lead is the organizer’s official lead-tracking partner – you can scan visitor badges directly from the organizer’s database and capture complete contact information with a single scan.

The Scan2Lead App 365 is the solution for all other trade shows: Scan business cards using your smartphone camera; it can be used at any event worldwide, regardless of the organizer.

In both cases, all recorded contacts are consolidated centrally in the Scan2Lead PORTAL – your shared management and analysis tool for all events.

04Is Scan2Lead GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Scan2Lead processes all data in compliance with the GDPR – for partner trade shows as well as for 365.

The infrastructure is hosted by the EU, and all data transfers are encrypted. At partner trade shows, leads are automatically deleted after 8 weeks for data protection reasons – we recommend exporting them or transferring them to your CRM in a timely manner via Lead Automation.

05Which CRM systems can I transfer my leads to?

Lead Automation allows you to connect more than 1,000 CRM and marketing tools using a no-code approach – including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics, and Mailchimp. Setup requires no programming knowledge. Alternatively, an Excel export is available at any time.

06Can I use Scan2Lead internationally?

Yes. The Scan2Lead App 365 can be used worldwide – at any trade show or event, regardless of the organizer or location. For international partner trade shows, use the trade show search to check whether Scan2Lead is also an official lead-tracking partner there. The app is available in multiple languages.

07How soon will my leads be available?

With app-based products (App SMART and App 365), leads are transferred to the PORTAL in real time – as soon as an internet connection is established. With COLLECT, you upload the data to the PORTAL via USB after scanning – it takes just a few seconds. STATION also transfers data in real time.

08How much does Scan2Lead cost?

The cost depends on the solution you choose. At partner trade shows, you can book Scan2Lead through the respective trade show’s online store – prices vary depending on the organizer and product. For the Scan2Lead App 365, you pay with Event Day Credits (EDC) – 1 EDC equals one employee for one day at the trade show. Unused EDCs do not expire. Try the App 365 for free and with no obligation using our trial license.
