Lead capture with neco
Capture new business contacts from paper business cards or through contact exchange with your digital neco card. Add details that matter for your follow-up and selectively export chosen contacts to your CRM or address book.
The basics
Digital lead capture means recording new business contacts in an instantly usable form. Instead of saving a paper card for later, name, company, and contact info become a structured data record.
Capture contacts
Some encounters end with a paper business card. For others, your counterpart sends you their details back through your digital business card. neco collects both types of contact in a place where you can easily find them later.
Take a photo of the received card with your smartphone. neco automatically recognizes the printed info, assigns it to the right contact fields, and prepares the contact for saving.

Name, company, and contact info still don't say why you spoke. On the saved contact, you can add an event and note as needed. neco automatically records the time and location as well.
Targeted contact export
First, select the destination, then choose one, several, or all contacts. The export only starts after you confirm.
Supported destinations include Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot, Google Contacts or Gmail, Microsoft Outlook or People, and your device's address book.
In everyday business
Digital lead capture is especially helpful when you don’t want a stack of cards or manual data entry between an encounter and a follow-up.
Capture a paper business card you received right on the spot, or let your counterpart send you their details via your digital neco card. A quick note preserves what the conversation was about.
A structured contact is created from the received card. You’ll later find the person with the key information needed for the next agreed step.
New contacts can be added on the go with your smartphone. No need to type in names, phone numbers, and emails at your desk later.
When you want to move forward, you can selectively export relevant contacts to the CRM or address book already used by you or your team.

You can scan received paper business cards on site at the event using your smartphone. Alternatively, your counterpart can voluntarily enter their details using the contact form on your digital neco card. Add the event or a short conversation note as needed, so it’s easier to assign the contact later.
