The sale is long. The first conversation is short.
Deals in manufacturing take months and involve many people. 97.5% of German exhibitors say trade fairs are essential for winning new business, and a typical B2B purchase involves 13 people inside the buying company and nine outside it. Here is where the details usually get lost.
At the trade fair
Your stand is busy all day at Hannover Messe, MEDICA or your regional show. Scan each card and add a quick note on what the buyer needs before the next visitor arrives.
At the distributor
After a partner day or a plant visit, your rep has a stack of cards from several countries. Covve reads them all and tags each contact by company and event.
When the budget opens
Months later, the tender arrives. The buyer’s needs are on the contact in your CRM, so whoever picks it up knows exactly where things stand.
Every card read accurately, in 60+ languages
Your buyers come from all over the world, and so do their business cards. Covve reads each one accurately, whatever the language, so your team gets clean, searchable contacts.

Note what they need while they are still talking
A name and a company won’t win a long sale. The details will: the product, the volume and when they need it.
Voice Capture: say “needs a quote for March, wants the spec sheet” and Covve saves it as a note on the contact.
Custom Fields: record product interest, budget range and buying timeframe in a few taps.
AI Lead Qualification: every card or badge you scan gets a short bio of the contact, a snapshot of their company and LinkedIn links, before they leave your stand.
Before, during and after the fair
Before: set up with us
Real people help you connect your CRM, set up the Custom Fields your reps fill in and invite your team, so every rep records the same details. Whenever you write to us, a real person answers.
During: real-time lead tracking
Every scan appears in the web-based Covve Portal in real time, by rep and by fair. If a stand is quiet, you see it and can act before the fair ends. Scanning also works offline, and Covve warns you when the signal is weak.
After: plan next year
When the fair closes, your results are already in the Covve Portal, by fair and by rep. You can see which fairs were worth the stand and what to change next time.

Loved by the people who scan
Verified reviews on G2 and five stars on the App Store.
Very good scanning of business cards and easy integration into phone and Outlook. Covve saves me time by eliminating multiple entries.
Amazing problem solution, before that 80% of my contacts lost or visiting card gone into dustbin now everything is in one click to save in my list.
Best solution for product marketing. Covve saves complete contact details, including mobile number, email ID, name and designation, so I can maintain business contacts that are useful for business promotion.
I was skeptical on this as I have not had any good luck from other apps like this one. Always poor UI and nothing ever was translated correctly or at all. Minor mistakes on this one but we’ll worth purchasing beyond the freebies.
Quick scanning, easy to share the contacts, and good reading of cards. Covve lets me keep records of everyone I meet without holding on to physical visiting cards.
Just started using the free version of Covve. Very helpful. Planning to upgrade to Covve Pro as the features offered will greatly enhance my customer contact efforts.
