The event floor doesn't slow down for anyone. Sessions end, crowds form at booths, and exhibitors are expected to engage, pitch, and capture leads simultaneously. The traditional scan-and-qualify flow is great when there's time for it. But when there's a line five people deep, opening a full lead qualification form after every scan isn't a workflow, it's a bottleneck.

Quick Scan mode fixes that.

What's New

Exhibitors using Lead Capture in the Swapcard mobile app can now switch to Quick Scan mode: a streamlined scanning experience that records the lead instantly and returns immediately to the camera, ready for the next badge. No forms, no interruptions. Just scan, confirm, repeat.

Qualification can still happen - just later, at a quieter moment.

How It Works

Open Lead Capture in the mobile app and tap the scan button.

1. On first use, a brief explainer sheet introduces the two available modes.
2. Toggle to Quick Scan using the mode switcher at the bottom of the camera view.
3. Scan a badge - a toast notification confirms the lead was recorded.
4. The camera stays live. Scan the next badge. Keep going.
5. When you reopen Lead Capture later, the app remembers whichever mode you last used.

Key Behaviors

• Two modes, one toggle - exhibitors switch between Qualify (full flow) and Quick Scan (instant capture) directly from the scan screen.
• Instant confirmation - a lightweight toast message confirms each successful scan without interrupting the camera view.
• Persistent mode memory - the app saves your last-used mode, so staff who prefer Quick Scan don't have to switch every time they open the feature.
• No leads lost - every badge scanned in Quick Scan mode is recorded in full and available for enrichment and qualification after the event.
• Mobile only - available on iOS and Android event apps.

Why Exhibitors Will Love It

Peak booth traffic is where ROI is made or missed. Exhibitors who can't capture leads fast enough during high-volume moments lose connections that never come back. Quick Scan mode removes the friction exactly where it hurts most - letting booth staff stay present with attendees, keep the energy alive, and handle the qualification work calmly between sessions or at day's end.

More leads captured. Less stress on the floor. Better exhibitor ROI.

💡 Pro tip: Encourage exhibitors to use Quick Scan during keynote breaks and session transitions - those 10–15 minute windows generate the most foot traffic and the least available attention. They can qualify their full lead list once the rush subsides.
