CardScan - New Best Friend

Have you ever attended a trade show and met lots of new people? Have you swapped business cards with others...only to later to toss them in a drawer because they are too hard to keep organized?

I just got this great gadget and it has really impressed me!

It is called CardScan. I bought the CardScan Executive model.

This little machine scans a business card and then loads the scan into a software program. It converts the information on the card to a database where it can be uploaded to Microsoft Outlook or a Blackberry. It keeps a scanned copy of the card so any written notes can be viewed at anytime.

One feature is that it will convert all of the addresses to your own FREE password protected online account...making them accessible from any computer! If you take advantage of the free online account, it periodically checks your contacts for updated information. Today I loaded all of our vendors into the program. It was amazing how many had new email addresses (due to company mergers) or job titles.

So far...big thumbs up....great way to stay organized!

Debbie, just wondering if your company is going to be represented at the Ohio Soapmakers Gathering in April? It's at Strongsville High School, just a bit away from you.
