CARDSCAN.COM REVIEW

Without question, the traditional, time-tested, and humble business card remains the predominant means for exchanging basic contact information – and for good reason. Business cards have endured because they help us make sales, forge relationships, hire skilled people, seek advice, build a network, and get work done.

But it's equally true that business professionals – and even a growing number of consumers – increasingly rely on PDAs, Smartphones and computers to manage their growing, constantly changing libraries of contact data. With its portability, searchability, and flexibility, electronic contact data is here to stay.

The persistent challenge: how to unite these two worlds.

CardScan, Inc. is the company solely devoted to the crucial intersection of traditional paper-card exchanges and digital contact management, offering solutions that help customers address the entire lifecycle of all contacts: business, family, and friends.

Highlights

Company Press
CardScan solutions are designed expressly to maintain and enhance the value of contact data. At first glance, it's tempting to assume that the core of CardScan's technology portfolio lies in its line of powerful, portable, and stylish scanning hardware. But beyond the USB scanner, the heart of CardScan's advantages in the contact-management market lies in its sophisticated software that lets users convert all contact information – business cards, e-mail databases, and other electronic files – into a unified digital contact database.

CardScan's proprietary interpretive technology – continually enhanced over the past 12 years – incorporates thousands of rules for interpreting business card fields so that it understands all of the nuances of properly reading all types of business cards. For instance, CardScan software knows hundreds of ways that people list telephone numbers on a business card, such as “phone,” “tel:,” “telephone,” “T:.” or “P.”

As a result, CardScan software eliminates the errors associated with the manual data-entry process and enables users to drag-and-drop from electronic files, easily “de-duplicate” lists, categorize contacts, print labels, and synchronize to mobile devices.

I was thrilled with this quality product, but was even more impressed when I made a call to the technical support department and experienced Corex's effecient and pleasant service. This scanner/software package is user-friendly, extremely accurate and far superior to any competitor.

I heard about these scanner many times but never believed they really work. Business cards are just so diverse. Then a friend bought one and highly recommended I try the CardScan 600c. It was really amazing. It acurately read some difficult cards. They new version also have what they call Cardscan.Net which lets me access my card collection via any web browser.
