Are you tired of carrying around a wallet and multiple cardholders full of visiting cards? Here’s a solution for you! CardByte, India’s first complete contact management app, will help you create and share digital visiting cards using its templates and network with people from anywhere, anytime. With the CardByte contact scanner on your phone, you can store, print, scan, and exchange e-visiting cards digitally in seconds. Ramesh Kumar Raja talked to Navinn Kapur, Co-founder and Director, CardByte, to understand the technicalities of this platform and how it is revolutionizing contact management with seamless business networking. Excerpts: What are the advantages and benefits of contact management for customers? For achieving success in any field, it is critical to be empowered with the right information that is accessible at the right time. Contact management does that, it empowers the user with the right information that’s at their fingertips and instantly accessible at all times. From a business perspective, contact management can be a critical enabler of sales growth and profitability. After all, a lost contact is equal to a lost business. What kind of consumer base does CardByte target? CardByte is a smart wallet for business cards; anyone possessing or exchanging business cards is a part of our consumer base. However, it has been proven most useful for industries and professionals that require elevated levels of networking and exchange multiple cards daily. For instance, a working professional may exchange anywhere between 5-20 business cards a week. This number shoots up in case of networking events and seminars. Keeping a record of all the cards and feeding them manually, storing and organizing them consumes a considerable amount of their time and stops them from doing their actual job. With CardByte, they can not only instantly share and save digital cards on the app, but also access them all at the tap of a button, with or without internet connectivity, saving the theme and efforts wasted in redundant processes.
