One of my clients just gotten back from a conference and has a ton of cards from her networking and exhibiting while there. She asked me if investing in a card scanning device would be a good idea. Of course, I want to say yes under the notion that it would be better for me :-) But have any of your experienced challenges with this equipment. In particular, I'm worried that the information isn't or won't be sorted correctly when scanned in.
I've used a card scanner, though I don't know which brand, and it was helpful. Usually it'll scan it and then ask you to verify that the info is going in the right place. I found that most times it was correct but there are some oddball cards out there that it didn't like and those you had to do by hand.
It'll still take a while as you need to verify the info but it's immeasurably easier than typing them all in by hand.
Thanks for this info. I looked at card scanners a while back. If you have that many, I'd think it would be a pretty decent investment. If nothing else, it'll definitely save your fingers...lol
I also looked at receipt scanners for work and tried to talk my boss into it, but he didn't go for that. I HATE receipts...lol

I'll look into this as well. It would be a great service to add to the contact management. I know contractors are known for keeping a boxfull of cards on them
