Tendro / Comparisons
Tendro vs the alternatives
Your workflow, not ours.
Plenty of apps scan a badge. Tendro is built to fit the way your team already sells: leads land in HubSpot or Salesforce as your records, your questions write to your own fields, every rep scans on their own phone, and one $499 covers the event. If your CRM needs a connector we don't have, we build it on request.
Free desk trial, no card. Your first event switches on live CRM sync.
§ 01 · Your workflow
Does Tendro fit the way your team already works?
Yes. Leads land in HubSpot or Salesforce as your own records, and every question your reps answer can write to a property or field you already use.

How it fits your stack
- Native
- HubSpot and Salesforce: a Contact matched on email, or a Lead with a completed Task named for the show. A second scan updates the same record.
- Your fields
- Map any qualifying question to a HubSpot property or a Salesforce field. Import a HubSpot dropdown and it becomes a question on every rep's phone.
- On request
- Marketo, Pardot, Pipedrive and Zoho connect on request, usually within a day. For another CRM with a public API, we scope the connector with you before onboarding.
§ 02 · At the booth
Will your reps actually use it?
Yes. Photograph the badge, tag it, say a note: about ten seconds a scan on their own phones, offline too, nothing to rent or return.

§ 03 · The team
Who builds Tendro, and what will they build for you?
People from Socio, the event platform Cisco acquired as Webex Events. A connector your CRM needs is built on request.
The team behind Tendro

- Your questions
- Branching qualifying questions are live: a follow-up appears only when an answer calls for it, and each answer maps to a property or field.
- Onboarding
- Every customer gets onboarding with their booth team and a dedicated support rep.
