What does it do?

The Business Card Scanner showcases how our modular FileAI component can accelerate lead capture by allowing users to upload a business card image or take a photo directly with their device's camera. The AI instantly reads and extracts all relevant contact details — name, company, job title, phone number, email, and address — and creates a new Lead record in Salesforce with a single click.

This eliminates the need for manual data entry and ensures every new contact from a meeting, conference, or networking event is captured accurately and immediately.

The Problem: Missed Contacts, Manual Data Entry

Sales professionals collect business cards at events, meetings, and conferences, but turning those cards into actionable Lead records in Salesforce is often a slow and error-prone process.

Common challenges include:

• Manually typing contact details from business cards is time-consuming and tedious

• Errors and typos during manual entry lead to inaccurate Lead data

• Business cards pile up and contacts go cold before they're entered into the CRM

• Reliance on third-party scanning apps introduces data security risks and workflow friction

These small delays collectively result in lost opportunities and reduced pipeline velocity.

The Solution: Instant, AI-Powered Lead Capture

The Business Card Scanner brings intelligent document recognition directly into the Salesforce Lead page. No external apps, no manual typing, no lost contacts.

With the component in place, sales teams can:

• Upload a business card image or take a photo directly with their device's camera

• Instantly extract name, company, title, phone, email, and address using AI

• Review the extracted data and create a new Lead record with one click

• Ensure every contact is captured accurately, on the spot, while it's still fresh

This transforms lead capture from a manual, after-the-fact chore into an instant, built-in part of every sales interaction.
