Stop renting a different badge scanner at every show!
Mobly replaces your badge scanner with a single trade show lead capture app that can be used at ANY event. No more rented hardware and no more learning a new process before each show.
THE REAL COST
What does renting a badge scanner at every event actually cost you?
A badge scanner doesn't just cost what badge scanner costs! It costs you lost leads, lost pipeline, and lost opportunities.
$500 to $1,000+ per device, per showNew device and new quirks...every show.
On a scanner they will use for three days.
Just to get back a CSV of leads.
The data by hand before sending it to the CRM.
After the convo has gone cold with a basic, contextless message.
ONE APP
One app that works at any trade show, conference, or field event
You can capture trade show leads using Mobly in 5 different formats. All you need is an iPhone or Android! It's the same app, whether the event organizer is using Cvent or is passing out paper name tags.
Any badge. Just needs a name + company.
Take a pic of a business card
Scan QR codes on badges.
Take a photo of a LinkedIn profile or phone contact.
Nothing to capture? Just type in their name + company.

Follow up
If you're using it, Pulse can fire off a first email or text, without a CRM integration!
Event teams often use Pulse in tandem with Mobly's lead capture. Pulse allows you to send email or text message sequences the moment you capture a lead, without a CRM integration.
Speed-to-lead is real! Sales research has shown that the odds of converting a lead drop sharply the longer you wait to follow-up.
THE PAYOFF
What teams see when they replace rented scanners with Mobly
Events go from chaos to a repeatable and predictable marketing channel. Rather than spending the weeks after the event cleaning your leads, you can spend that time actually converting them :)

FAQ
Questions teams ask before they switch
Will Mobly work at every trade show, or will I still need to rent the official badge scanner at some events?
Mobly works at any event, whatever organizer or badge format is in play. The app scans QR codes, barcodes, business cards, and handwritten name tags, so your reps use the same tool whether the show runs Cvent, a proprietary badge system, or no digital badge at all. You are not tied to the organizer's lead retrieval vendor, and you are not renting hardware show by show.
What happens if the Wi-Fi is unreliable on the show floor? Will we lose any scans?
Mobly captures leads offline, so a spotty or dropped connection costs you nothing. On-device OCR pulls contact data straight from the phone with no live connection, and offline scans are preserved through app updates. Once connectivity returns, everything syncs automatically, so no rep has to remember to save anything by hand.
How quickly do captured leads actually get into our CRM, and does someone have to clean the data first?
Leads sync to your CRM within minutes of capture, enrichment already applied. No CSV export, no manual cleanup, no waiting until after the show. Mobly routes each field to the best-fit data provider for that contact's industry and hits 97% validated email accuracy across 20+ sources. Tags, notes, and conversation transcripts travel with the lead, so reps open a record with context, not only a name and a title.
A badge scanner already gives us a name and email. What does Mobly add that we cannot get from rented hardware?
Rented badge scanners give you raw contact info. Mobly gives you a scored, enriched, context-rich lead your reps can act on. Every capture is enriched with work email, personal email, phone, title, and company data, then ICP-scored so reps know who to call first without sorting a spreadsheet. Reps can also record booth conversations, which Mobly transcribes onto the lead record, so the context from that conversation does not vanish the moment they walk away.
Is it secure to have reps capturing attendee contact data on their phones instead of on official event hardware?
Mobly is SOC 2 Type II certified, which means an independent auditor tested its security controls over time, not that Mobly graded its own work. All captured data syncs to the Mobly Hub, the web app where admins get full visibility into leads, field mapping, and CRM sync status. For teams collecting data on EU or UK attendees, Mobly supports compliant capture workflows, though your team should confirm the lawful basis for outreach for your specific use case and region.
