Use case · Trade shows and expos
Expo leads, scanned before you leave the hall.
Exhibitions are where the best leads come from and where most of them are lost: in a bag of business cards nobody types in. Patrascan turns the stack into a folder of contacts with reminders, even without network in the hall.
Where leads get lost today
- Cards pile up in a pocket or bag and get typed in days later, if ever.
- By the time you call, the visitor has already spoken to three competitors.
- Nobody remembers who wanted samples and who was just collecting brochures.
- Exhibition halls often have weak mobile network, so cloud-only apps stall.
Step 1
Batch scan the stack between visitors
Scan up to 30 cards in one go. Patrascan reads them on your phone, so it works in halls with no signal, and you can apply the expo folder and a tag to all of them at once.
Step 2
One folder per event
Name it after the show, add the dates and venue. Every card you scan during the event can go there automatically by setting it as the default folder.
Step 3
Follow up the same evening
Tag the hot leads, open WhatsApp with a ready “great meeting you at the expo” message, and set one reminder for the whole folder for the rest.
Questions
How many business cards can I scan at once?
Batch scan reads up to 30 cards in one go (Pro). For a larger stack, run several batches into the same folder.
Does Patrascan work in exhibition halls without internet?
Yes. Scanning, reading the cards, saving and reminders all work offline. Backup (Pro) syncs when you are online again.
Can my team see the expo leads?
Each person uses their own Patrascan for now. Export the expo folder to Excel or CSV and share it with your team or CRM; team workspaces are planned.
