Over the years, we have written about trade show apps and why they are important for your trade show to be successful – they offer more interaction and quick data capture about your brand.

Our research has found 10 low-cost to no-cost apps. These are easy to set-up and use right away. Before you look into customized software, take a quick look at what’s already out there.

Scheduling

When I Work – With this free app, you can create and view personnel schedules, organize booth coverage, communicate with your team and make calendar requests.

TeamUp Calendar – A cloud-based app that’s free for small companies with only a few people on the team. As much as it is an organizer and calendar, it also keeps room bookings and customer meetings.

ShowGo Mobile – This is an easy-to-use software that is robust enough to handle all of the key trade show management tasks, which include budgets, reports, wizards and templates for planning.

Capturing Leads

Leadature – Available for both Android and iOS, this app scans badges and business cards, measures interactions and generates reports for Excel.

iLeads – This app allows exhibitors to track leads and follow up with them during and after the show. Uses QR code scanning or manual entry of event attendees.

CamCard Business – Quickly scan or exchange business cards with CamCard, rated 4.2 at Google Play Store. CamCard also has many other features to organize and collaborate with others.

CDS Xpress Connect – More like a trade show assistant than an app, CDS Xpress Connect has many of the same features as other card scanners with the addition of lead qualification and appointment scheduling. Plus, it’s free!

iCapture – Last but not least, iCapture scans trade show badges and business cards, too. It also syncs with your CRM and sends documents with only a couple clicks.

Surveys

QuickTapSurvey – Surveys are a great way to capture and qualify leads at your next trade show. This app also gathers valuable feedback from customers on your brand. The monthly cost is worth it if your company does three or more trade shows a year.

iSurvey – This app allows you to collect attendee data while offline. It also connects multiple devices to give real-time stats, all for less than $10 a month.

Trade show mobile app technology has made trade show communication simpler for everyone from attendees to booth staff to event planners.

We have always admired the touch table application and its ability to transform a trade show booth into a gold mine of information, imagery, and videos. Imagine how much money can be saved on shipping brochures, pamphlets, and other printed materials when you have all of your information in one application that is easily accessed from the touch table or iPad. Users can choose what information they wish to receive and send it directly to their emails. The touch table is the path to greener trade show exhibiting as well. Less paper use and shipping = greener trade show exhibit. It’s a winning situation for all involved. Stay tuned for more information on T1V and their impressive trade show mobile app and touch table.

Trade Show Technology – Apps to Make Your Life Easier

2015-10-07 Nikki Devereux

Make your life easier with trade show technology.

It’s incredible how far trade show technology has come, and for good reason. There are just some things that are better suited to time saving apps, such as business card organization and expense reporting. We’ve all been in the situation, whether at a trade show or on a regular day, of struggling to keep up with organizing and cataloguing the many business cards we receive.

“Show after show, exhibit managers and attendees alike pack a box of the rectangular paper cards in anticipation of exchanging them and increasing their respective professional networks (and scoring a few leads). Though functional, business cards take up space, are easy to misplace, and are only as durable as the paper they are printed on.” – Exhibitor Online

CamCard came up with a solution to the age old problem of business cards, with an app that scans business cards, pulls the contact information, and adds it to a database that can be accessed from several devices. Expensify simplifies your expense reporting hassles with a similar scan-and-go type app that includes a paid option so your entire company can be organized from a single account. There are apps to solve just about any problem you come across at a trade show.
