Business Card Utilties

There are numerous apps out there to scan/upload business cards directly to your contacts. Some even have the capability to share to other people you have linked your account with.  As a new member of BNI, I was surprised to find that BNI did not already have its own app with this capability.

 

Also, the capability to easily share contact information via Near Field Communication, Bluetooth, wi-fi, or similar to the no longer available Bump App would be a useful addition

  Thanks David!  This is great feedback and will certainly be considered for future enhancements to the mobile app once it has been rolled out.

  @David - in the new version you can now share your VCARD and members of your chapter with anyone in your contacts.  Is this close to what you were looking for?

  The ability to share Vcards is definitely an excellent capability.  One that I have already used several times.

  But, I was talking about the capability to use the phone's camera to scan/take a picture of a physical business card, and then use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert that information directly into a new contact.

  Here is a link to an example of an app on Google play that does what I'm talking about:
