Scan the cards. We will remind you to follow up.
Take a photo of each business card at your event. Being Pillar reads it, saves the contact and asks for the event name once.
Card scanning is also found in other CRMs. See Compare for dated facts.
How it works
Take a photo.
Check the fields.
Get a follow-up list for the next working day.
No signal at the venue? Photos wait on your phone and upload when you are back online.
After the event
Prefer your laptop? Upload photos, a zip of photos or a scanner PDF. Clear cards become leads at once; doubtful fields and possible duplicates wait for you to check.
Follow-up pack
Choose how many follow-ups a day and which message. Being Pillar spreads the reminders over working days, with the message ready. You send each one yourself.
Accuracy
We will publish the accuracy we measure on real cards, and how we measured it. Until then we show no percentage.
Questions
Can I scan the back of a card?
Yes. Choose Add back of card before taking the photo.
Does it work offline?
Photos wait on your phone and upload when you are back online.
What about privacy?
Card photos are deleted after 30 days; the contact stays. Anyone can ask to be removed at Remove my details.
Does each card use AI?
Yes. Each card read counts against your plan's monthly AI allowance.
