Before, during and after the show
We help you prepare, you watch the results come in while the show is on, and every event teaches the next.
We help you get ready
Real people help you connect your CRM, build the Custom Fields your team fills in at the stand and invite everyone to the Team workspace. You walk onto the floor with the whole team set up, and whenever you write, a real person answers.
See the show while it is still on
Every scan shows up in the web-based Covve Portal in real time, by rep and by event. Spot a quiet stand or a rep who needs help and fix it before the doors close, not after. Scanning works offline too, with a warning before a weak connection puts a lead at risk.
Every show teaches the next one
When the floor closes, the results are already in: every lead enriched, qualified and in your CRM. Compare this show with the last one in the Covve Portal and plan the next with real numbers.

Stop renting lead capture one show at a time
One annual seat covers every show. Not one device for one stand.
Lead capture, one show at a time
A license per show. A device per person.
SEMA Show 2026’s order form lists app activation from $455 and a rented handheld from $605, and notes that “App activation applies to singular event.” Badge-image leads can arrive up to 14 days after the show.
Covve
One app. Every show. Every card.
Posted pricing per seat, monthly or yearly. The same app scans any event badge, business cards, QR codes and LinkedIn QRs at every show, and the lead is in your CRM the same day.
Event lead capture for every show on your calendar
Trade shows, conferences, roadshows and your own customer events: Covve is the same lead capture app at all of them. It scans event badges, business cards and QR codes, enriches every lead, syncs it to your CRM and shows you in the web-based Covve Portal how each event is going while it is still on.
Days back after every show
Verified reviews on G2 and five stars on the App Store.
I love using Covve as it is my go-to mobile card scanning application during networking events, trade shows, and client meetings. It digitizes contact info quickly, saves it to my phone, and syncs with other tools.
Christis is amazing, and this app has saved me DAYS!!! Thank you for creating it!
Covve makes the process incredibly easy, it’s simple to use, and the accuracy of the scans is impressive. It integrates directly with Salesforce, so our sales team can make contacts out in the field and input their business cards straight into our CRM during their workflow.
Four scans in and all looks great. The main benefit is the export to xls or csv so you can easily export into your CRM.
Covve lets me capture leads quickly at conferences and take notes on each one, and the way it recognizes contacts on my phone works really well.
Very simple and quick to use. Better than many both for user friendly capture as well as for text detection.

It is how exhibitors turn the people they meet at a booth into leads in their CRM. With Covve your team does it on their own phones: scan the badge, card or QR code, let AI enrich the lead, add a voice note and your Custom Fields, and sync it to your CRM, at every show, with no rented scanner.
Choose a plan, download the app and your 14-day free trial begins. We help you connect your CRM, set up Custom Fields and invite the team, so everyone is ready before the doors open.
Yes. Covve Pro scans event badges and enriches each lead, so you are not tied to a rented scanner. Badge formats vary by show, so check yours during the 14-day free trial. Business cards and QR codes work in the same app, in 60+ languages.
Keep scanning. Covve works offline and warns you when the connection is weak, so no lead is lost. Everything syncs to your CRM once you are back online.
Yes. Scan an event badge or a business card and AI Lead Qualification adds a short bio of the contact, a snapshot of their company, talking points and LinkedIn links. Your rep knows who they are talking to, and sales gets context, not just a name.
Tap the microphone and speak naturally: “Owns the budget, wants a demo Thursday.” Voice Capture transcribes it and saves it to the contact, in multiple languages.
Connect Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive or Microsoft Dynamics 365 once (an add-on on Pro, included in Enterprise) and map your Custom Fields to CRM fields. Google Contacts and Outlook connect directly, and Zapier reaches 8,000+ other tools.
Covve is ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant and CyberVadis Platinum rated. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Covve is built and headquartered in Europe. A scan is not marketing consent, so follow up one to one and give people a way to opt out.
Invite everyone to the Team workspace, share the same Custom Fields and reassign a seat when staff change between shows. Pricing is posted per seat, so you can cover one show or every show of the year.
The web-based Covve Portal tracks leads by event and by rep in real time. See during the show where leads are thin and act before it ends, then compare one show with the next and see what is worth repeating.
Walk onto the floor ready.
Walk off with every lead.
