CamCard vs. Shared Contacts for Gmail

For people on the road frequently and don't have time to set down at a computer right away this is a good choice, especially on a individual basis. It really isn't ideal if you are trying to capture LARGE amounts of business cards though. If you are in need of something that would allow you to capture more than 5-10 cards at a time, I would look for another product.

Shared Contacts for Gmail is well suited for organizations that generate and coordinate long term partnerships and that have a big remote working component as a main form or working. It is less appropriate with organizations dedicated to sales and performance based ways of working. I would recommend it for medium size organizations.

• The image capture is great and it captures the back side which some apps do not allow.
• It allows you to add notes and details and keeps the image of the card so it is easy to connect all the pieces for followup!
• It offers a nice variety of sort options which is really helpful if you remember the company but not the name of the person!
• It exports seamlessly into our CRM.

• Helps manage contact lists and distribution lists.
• Eliminates the need for the use of an additional platform, like a CRM, to manage contacts.
• Makes it easier to share contacts with a targeted audience with the flexibility to be selective about who the data is being shared with.

• Scans are far from reliable.
• It seems to just make some obvious spelling mistakes that the AI should be able to figure out.
• Struggles with complex graphics on business cards.

• I have been looking for a way to share our contacts within our organization for a while now. This process really improves how we were doing it within Google Sheets.
• My only negative is that it has taken so long for it to be functional within Google.

ABBYY business card reader was used one time so I don't have a ton of data. Personally, I felt CamCard was much more user-friendly. I like basic, simple, and easy to use tools. CamCard was it for me!

My company used Zendesk Sell for a while, but the profiles weren't as manageable and easy accessed as Shared Contacts [for Gmail.] It resulted easier to update the contact information within Shared Contacts [for Gmail] and maintain the contact flow, than updating in Zendesk, and then manually go into gmail and continue the conversation. As well we don't use Shared Contacts [for Gmail] alone. We do accompany it with an internal operations system, were we manage the clients profile, but the combination between the two is perfect.

• Due to CamCard's low cost, I have found it to provide a positive ROI for me. Looking at the cost of business card scanners like ScanDisk provides the cost can be $150+.
• CamCard has also allowed me to reduce the time of manually inserting contact information from the contacts that I meet, and since time is money, it has saved my organization labor time.
• Finally, having the ability to use CamCard on my phone, it prevents me from loosing business cards and contact information that I need.

Incentivized

• More contact with clients
• Keeping track of contact information no matter the places
• Clients like the familiarity that is created by the constant check on them
