For iPhone and iPad
Scan business cards into your CRM.
Krane reads business cards and event badges, files them under the show you're at, and sends them to HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive. It reads cards even with no signal.
How it works
Four steps from card to CRM.
Works the same for business cards and event badges.

Snap
Point the camera at a card or a badge. Add the back too and both sides are read together.
Business card scanner → - 2
Read
Name, title, company, phones, emails, website and address, in almost any language and script.
- 3
File
Start an event when you arrive. Each card is filed under it, with where you met and your event tags filled in.
Trade show lead capture → - 4
Send
Push to your CRM, add to Apple Contacts, share a vCard, or export a spreadsheet for the whole event.
Trade shows
Made for trade shows.
