How many business cards are lying around the office - unscanned, unused, forgotten?

The answer is usually: too many.
And that means one thing - lots of missed opportunities.

Because every contact that isn’t captured digitally is like not calling back a match on Tinder: opportunity lost.

Paper chaos costs real money

Sales teams today rely on data. But as long as contact details are typed in manually - or even worse, not saved at all - even the best CRM stack is useless.

The reality:

Each contact costs an employee about 30 minutes of searching, typing, and transferring.
With 300 new contacts a year, that’s more than 150 hours wasted.
Time that could be better spent talking to customers - and closing deals.

And that’s just half the story: countless more minutes are lost when key information is missing.

Here comes the game-changer: The Cardeleine AI Scanner

Our AI-powered scanner takes over all that work - and delivers even more:

Scan. Done. All contact data is captured in seconds.
100% accurate. No typos, no mix-ups, no chaos.
Directly integrated. CRM, newsletter tool, or team workspace - the contact lands exactly where it belongs.
Trackable. Finally see how many contacts were generated per event, who needs a follow-up, and where the hottest leads are hiding.
Smartly enriched. LinkedIn profiles, social links, industry data, key figures, and more - added automatically.

What does this mean?

For every lead, the team saves 30 minutes of typing and another 30 minutes of searching.
That’s a full hour saved per contact.

From contact to customer - without friction

Data is the gold of modern sales. But gold is useless if it just sits in a safe.

The Cardeleine AI Scanner turns analog meetings into digital assets - complete, up-to-date, and instantly ready for marketing, sales, and business development.

And the best part? It ensures that a “nice chat at the trade show” actually becomes a “new customer in the CRM.”

Conclusion: Not scanning data = losing revenue

A modern business without an AI scanner is like a Ferrari without tires: great to look at, but useless when it comes to performance.

With the Cardeleine AI Scanner, networking becomes measurable, follow-ups are automated, and revenue is scalable.

In short: smart data capture turns contacts into opportunities - and opportunities into revenue.
