Zoho Card Scanner
Chennai, India
What it is
Zoho Card Scanner turns business cards and QR codes into contact or lead records for Zoho CRM. OCR places scanned text in a local database arranged for CRM syncing and can extract names, companies, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, websites, addresses, and X IDs. The scanner reads cards in 17 languages, with no stated limit on stored cards. Users can schedule follow-ups, apply configured CRM email templates, and add notes. Custom CRM workflows can bring new contacts into a sales process. When a matching CRM record exists, the app prompts a merge, using email as the default duplicate-check field. Exports include Zoho Books, Invoice, Contact Manager, Mail, and CRM, plus Salesforce and Google Contacts. The app supports every Zoho CRM edition and runs on Android and iOS. Zoho lists a free plan at no cost and no free trial. The company was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Chennai, India.
