The Cardscan Executive is a new type of desktop card scanner which also comes with a contact management software package. What it does is it scans and reads business cards in seconds and then places them into a database and is then able to create a digital address book for the user.

Because you are able to not only capture but also consolidate, sort, and search as well as use all the contact information in one easy to use system it makes it much more efficient if you run a sales orientated business. Plus it provides you with a great CRM system so that you are able to know exactly all your customers wants and needs yet no longer do you need to sit in front of your computer with the business cards by your side entering the details supplied on each card one by one. All you need to do is feed the business card into the Cardscan Executive and it will do all the work for you.

The Cardscan Executive is not fool proof, some of the data that gets feed into the system will end up in the wrong location. So will need to check to make sure that everything is in the correct data field. The Cardscan Executive can also have a difficult time with cards that have weird fonts and different backgrounds.

Unfortunately for many companies with a large sales force most of these people are away from the office a large part of their working lives and so by having a database set up using a card scanner they can easily gain access to all their customer or clients details just as long as they have an internet connection and the right passwords in order to gain access to the company's site.

Plus the software that is provided with the Cardscan Executive can easily be synchronized with both Outlook, PDA Smart Phones, ACT, Lotus Notes and Goldmine. Plus the scanner used is color and it takes around 3 seconds for it to scan a business card so no longer does staff need to waste time having to enter details of their new customers, clients or contacts themselves.
