In short

What is lead retrieval software?

Lead retrieval software helps exhibitors scan attendee badges, add notes, and export usable lead records. Map D's app scans badges, QR codes, and business cards, saves each lead on the phone, and exports CSV or vCard files for a CRM.

How it works

From floor plan to sold show floor in four steps

  1. 1Build the floor planUpload the layout you already have or describe it to the AI Floor Plan Assistant, then place, number and size booths with snap-to-grid.
  2. 2Set booth types and pricesCreate booth types with their prices and mark booths open, reserved or sold. AI-assisted dynamic pricing can move prices inside the limits you set.
  3. 3Publish and sellPublish the interactive map to your event site. Exhibitors pick a space, check out and get their invoice without a back-and-forth email.
  4. 4Run the showExhibitors manage profiles, staff and assets in their portal, attendees find booths on the live map, and sales reports update as you sell.

Everything you need to capture better leads

  • Fast Setup for Exhibitors

    Be scanning in minutes with no special hardware. Exhibitor staff download the Map D app, sign in, and start collecting leads from the Leads tab on their own phones.

  • Scan Badges

    Use any modern smartphone camera to scan attendee badges or QR codes at the booth, or to capture a business card.

  • Capture Leads & Take Notes

    Add notes at the moment of the conversation, so each lead carries more than a name.

FAQ

Your question answered

These are some of the most common questions about scanning badges, adding notes, and helping exhibitors follow up faster after the show.

Have more questions? Contact us →

What do exhibitors scan with?

Exhibitor staff scan attendee badges from their own phones, so there is no scanner hardware to rent, distribute or collect at the end of the show.

Can exhibitors qualify a lead at the booth?

Yes. Staff add notes at the moment of the scan, so the lead they export carries context rather than just a name.

How do leads get to our exhibitors' CRMs?

Leads export as CSV or vCard, so exhibitors can import them into their own CRM and follow up from there.

When can exhibitors see their leads?

Right away. Each lead is saved on the phone as it is scanned, and staff can export leads during the show instead of waiting for a post-event file, which is where most follow-up delay comes from.
