A badge scanner · Stakes: low
Your leads will beat you home.
Take a photo of someone's badge and the contact is in your CRM before the next person walks up to the booth.

The state of badge scanning
It's a badge scanner. Let's all relax.
Nobody has ever been rushed to the ER over a badge scanner. Somehow the category still acts like it's launching satellites. We think that's darn silly.
The rental scanner
Rental fees add up per show
- Beeps like a 1997 microwave
- Has never once met your CRM
- Turns into a CSV the following week
- Enrichment? It barely knows their name
- Goes back to the service desk at teardown
The fancy scanner
Priced like enterprise software
- Annual contract and a kickoff call
- An onboarding specialist, for a name tag
- A steering committee, presumably
- Enrichment sold as a pricey add-on, like each email is hand-forged
- Sometimes keeps your contacts on its own servers
Lanyard
The chill one, on your phone
- Reads the badge with your camera
- Pushes the contact straight to your CRM
- Enrichment included on paid plans
- Your contacts stay in your CRM
- Free for up to three people. Four is a crowd.

How it works
Three taps. Then back to small talk.
Point your phone at the badge
Lanyard reads the name, company and title. The robots do the typing. You do the nodding.
Rate it and jot a note
Hot, warm or cold. Type it or say it out loud like a detective.
It lands in your CRM, with context
With the badge details you capture and a note about your conversation. Contact enrichment is a paid-only feature.
About enrichment
Enrichment shouldn't cost more than the booth.
Somewhere along the way, looking up a work email became a premium add-on with its own sales call. It's a lookup. Your phone does fancier math to make a selfie look good.
Enrichment is available only in paid tiers. Event Pass is $199 per show; Team is $149/month or $1,490/year. Final enrichment quotas will be confirmed before launch.

THE NOT-A-DATABASE PROMISE
WE SELL A PIPE.
NOT A BUCKET.
Scan the badge. Put the lead in your CRM. Move on with your life. Your contacts belong to your team, not a vendor's secret lead museum.
Our product philosophy is simple: process the details needed to connect the contact to your CRM, support temporary offline caching when necessary, and avoid becoming a second place to store all your leads.
How we approach your data →A name, company, and whatever else the badge says.
Hot, warm, or cold. A note about your conversation.
The sales tool your team already pays for.
WHEN CONVENTION-CENTER WI-FI DOES ITS THING
WI-FI HAS LEFT THE CHAT.
That's okay. Your booth hasn't.
Lanyard keeps scans on your phone during a connection outage and syncs them when you're online again. The status tells you what's queued so you can verify the transfer.

SOME VERY REASONABLE QUESTIONS
YEAH,
BUT DOES IT...
Yes, we made an FAQ for a badge scanner. We also regret nothing.
All the FAQs, no fluff →Do I need to rent a scanner?
No. Your phone's camera is the hardware roadmap.
Is it really free for three people?
Yes. Free99 means $0 for up to three people. Most supported CRM integrations are included.
Does it work with HubSpot?
Yes. HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, and Attio are included among free integrations. Salesforce is on a paid plan.
What if the badge has an organizer-only QR code?
Some events use proprietary badge systems. Check your event's compatibility requirements before relying on any scanner.
And if the Wi-Fi takes a nap?
Scans can queue locally and sync when the connection returns. Check the queue status before leaving the event.
Try it at your next show.
Free for up to three people. Set it up in the parking garage. We won't judge.
