§ 01 · On the floor

How does lead retrieval work at the booth?

Each rep photographs a badge or business card on their own phone. Tendro reads the printed name, title and company, then finds the work email.

In the appSample screens

  • Photograph the badge. Saved, email found.

    After the photo, a strip at the bottom of the camera reads: Jordan Ellis, Northwind Industrial Supply. Saved, email found.

  • The contact fills in. Email, phone, LinkedIn.

    Jordan Ellis's lead page: email, phone, LinkedIn, assigned to Dana Ruiz, and company details such as location, company size and industry

  • Tag it, say the note. Typed into Notes.

    The same lead tagged Hot, with a voice note transcribed into Notes

§ 06 · Questions

What else should you know before the show?

Is Tendro the official lead capture app for CCAO/CEAO 2026?

No. Tendro is independent and runs on your reps' own phones. We made it free for CCAO/CEAO 2026 exhibitors.

The Tendro team also made it available to the CCAO/CEAO 2026 organizers to include in their exhibitor offering.

Do you need HubSpot or Salesforce?

No. Leads sync to HubSpot or Salesforce, or export from the dashboard as a spreadsheet. Every rep's scans land in one list.

Does Tendro scan business cards?

Yes. Point the same camera at a business card. OCR reads the printed card, enrichment fills in the rest, and it lands in your CRM like a badge scan.

Does it work if the hall WiFi drops?

Yes. Every scan saves to the phone first and uploads when signal returns, so a dead hall WiFi doesn't stop the booth.

Every show we cover is in the show guides.
