Captello, a prominent leader in event technology solutions, has announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Intelligent Scanner. This solution is engineered to transform how organizations capture and enrich event data by providing a highly flexible and intelligent scanning interface. Designed to streamline workflows, the Intelligent Scanner enables users to collect information from a diverse array of sources—including event badges, business cards, QR codes, LinkedIn profiles, and even live conversations—through a simplified, single-button operation.
Versatile Data Capture: The scanner captures badges, business cards, QR codes, handwritten notes, and LinkedIn profiles using a single button.
AI-Powered Enrichment: Scanned data is processed through a multi-layered AI engine that pulls details from over 25 data sources for comprehensive lead profiles.
Conversation Intelligence: The tool can record and transcribe live, consent-based conversations, identifying action items and specific speakers.
Extensive Integration: The solution integrates with over 6,000 CRM and marketing automation platforms and 300 registration providers.
Real-Time Accuracy: Information flows instantly into CRM systems, eliminating manual entry and ensuring no data is missed during busy events.
Comprehensive Suite: The scanner is part of Captello’s broader AI ecosystem, which includes meeting management and enterprise-grade reporting.
The Intelligent Scanner distinguishes itself by combining cutting-edge AI with extreme user simplicity. Beyond merely digitizing text, the platform’s AI engine automatically enriches every scan by retrieving missing email addresses, phone numbers, and company details. This capability is particularly vital for events that do not offer API integrations or for spontaneous networking moments where information is captured from non-traditional sources like paper documents or resumes.
"We are thrilled to introduce the Intelligent Scanner, a game-changer for organizations of all types," said Ryan Schefke, CEO of Captello. "This solution allows our users to gather valuable insights effortlessly and in real-time, all while maintaining privacy and accuracy. The Intelligent Scanner transforms how organizations capture leads, ensuring that no valuable data is ever missed."
A significant technical advancement within the scanner is its conversation intelligence. By recording and transcribing live interactions, the platform generates suggested next steps and identifies key participants. This ensures that the qualitative context of a lead is preserved alongside the quantitative contact data. Chief Technology Officer Nassir Jamal emphasized that the integration of AI to enrich data automatically is an essential step toward the future of event data management, prioritizing both speed and functionality.
"Our team has worked tirelessly to develop a solution that not only delivers on speed and functionality but also integrates cutting-edge AI to enrich the data we capture," Jamal said. "The new scanner brings convenience and power to our users by automatically enriching scanned information. This is an essential step toward the future of event data management."
To ensure that lead capture results in immediate business opportunities, the Intelligent Scanner connects seamlessly with major platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Marketo. This automation accelerates the follow-up process and allows organizations to prove event ROI with greater precision. By empowering every interaction to be smarter and faster, Captello continues to provide enterprises with the tools necessary to generate a predictable sales pipeline from live events.
