Lead capture for sales teams
Hand out a card.
Get back a lead.
The digital business card is just the face. Behind it, Cardtly catches everyone your team meets, emails each lead to the rep and their manager the moment it arrives, and keeps it in one place to follow up, report on and export.

From handshake to sale
The card starts it. The back office finishes it.
Most leads are lost between meeting someone and following up. Here is where Cardtly closes the gap.
They tap, they have you
One tap of the card or a scan of the QR. Your number, your website, your booking link - on their phone before you sit down. Nothing to type, nothing to lose.
The lead captures itself
They fill in the short form on the card, answer your questions or ask for a meeting. It lands in your contacts and is emailed to the rep, with a copy to their manager.
Follow up while it is warm
Reply on WhatsApp in one tap, from the email or the contact. Add a note, save them to your phone. No business card in a jacket pocket.
You can see what worked
Opens, link clicks, saves and leads for each person, and which channel brought them in. You find out who is getting opened instead of guessing.
The back office
Everything behind the card.
The card is what people see. This is what your sales team actually works in: every lead in one place, sent to the right person, followed up and counted.
Capture
- A short form on every card
- A two-way exchange when someone saves your details
- Your own questions, a different form per card if you like
- Meeting requests with a date and time
- An AI scan of a paper business card
Follow up
- Each lead emailed to the rep the moment it arrives
- A copy to the department head and the company admin
- WhatsApp, email or call in one tap
- Notes on every lead, saved to your phone in one tap
Report
- Opens, link clicks, saves and leads for each person
- Which channel brought them: NFC tap, QR, email signature, WhatsApp
- A monthly Excel report for the whole team
- Every lead from every card in one list, filtered by person
Keep and connect
- Export any list of leads to a branded Excel file
- Webhooks and a read-only API, to send leads on to your own systems
- Someone leaves: switch their card off, keep its leads and its link
- Leads are never sold, and never used for advertising
Your whole team.
One brand.
Give every rep, agent, and consultant a digital business card that looks exactly like your company - while they manage their own details and share from their own phone.
Locked company branding
You control the logo, colours, and template. Every card stays perfectly on-brand - members can't change it.
Members own their details
Invite by email. Each person claims their card, signs in on the app, and keeps their own info current.
One dashboard for everything
Add seats, manage cards, and see team-wide analytics from a single admin view.
Share each other's cards
Anyone on the team can hand out a colleague's card from their own phone - reception shares the rep, the rep shares the director.
Works with NFC cards too - order a set for the whole team.

Run it properly
Control what matters. Leave the rest to them.
Forty people, one brand, and nobody putting the wrong logo on anything. You decide what is fixed and what each person fills in themselves.
Departments, each with a head
Split the company into Sales, Support, whatever fits. Each department gets a head who runs their own people, sees their leads and sets their look.
Lock exactly what you choose
Logo, company name, office number, website, address, socials, link buttons, gallery, design, even job titles and bios. Lock any of them company-wide, and a department can tighten it further.
Their details stay theirs
Anything you have not locked belongs to the person: name, photo, mobile and the rest. Nobody in admin retypes forty phone numbers.
One brand, or one per team
Set the company look once and apply it to every card at once. A department can carry its own colours on top where it needs to.
Reporting per person
Opens, link clicks, saves and leads for each rep, and every lead they capture in one place. You see who is actually being opened.
Per seat, change any time
From R97 per card a month. Add people as you hire, and a card you have not handed out yet waits with an invite against it.

Questions, answered
Digital business cards, explained.
What is a digital business card?
A digital business card is an online profile that replaces paper cards. It holds your name, role, company, contact details, links, and photo on a single page with its own link. With Cardtly you share it by NFC tap, QR code, or URL, and the person you meet can save your details straight to their phone contacts - no app required on their side.
How do I share a digital business card?
Three ways: tap your Cardtly NFC card against any modern smartphone, let someone scan your QR code, or send your card link through WhatsApp, email, or SMS. You can also add your card to Google Wallet so it is always one swipe away.
How much does a digital business card cost in South Africa?
Cardtly is from R97 per card per month, or R970 a year, and that includes every feature. Teams start from the same R97 a seat, from 2 to 20 seats, with locked company branding and one admin dashboard. Above 20 seats we bill Enterprise by debit order. A physical NFC card is a once-off R150 plus R100 shipping anywhere in South Africa.
Do I need an NFC card to use Cardtly?
No. Your QR code and card link work on their own with nothing physical at all. The NFC card is an optional extra for people who love the tap-to-share moment in meetings and at networking events.
Can I update my card after I have shared it?
Yes - that is the point. Your card is a live page, so when you change roles, numbers, or companies, everyone who has your link or scanned your QR code automatically sees the latest version. No reprinting, no out-of-date cards in circulation.
Can my whole team use digital business cards?
Yes. Cardtly Teams gives every team member a branded card with locked company branding, while each person manages their own details. Admins control the brand, templates, and seats from one dashboard - ideal for sales teams, agencies, and franchises.
Can I customise the design of my digital business card?
Completely. Choose from 16 templates, then make it yours: accent colours (including any custom hex), light or dark mode, five font styles, logo position and size, custom background colours, button colours, and the size and colour of every text element. Add photo galleries, custom links, social profiles, and certifications.
What happens when someone taps my NFC card?
Your card opens instantly in their phone browser - no app to install. They see your details, photo, and links, and can save you to their contacts with one tap. You see the view in your analytics.
Can people book a meeting from my digital business card?
Yes. Your card has a built-in "Book a meeting" button - visitors pick a date and time, you get the request by email and can confirm with a single reply. No Calendly or extra tools needed, and the requester is automatically saved to your contacts.
Does Cardtly capture leads from my card?
Yes. Visitors can share their name, email, and phone number through your card, and every lead lands in your Cardtly contacts dashboard - a lightweight CRM that builds itself as you network. Meeting requests are captured there too.
Can I scan other people’s paper business cards?
Yes. With Cardtly Pro you can photograph someone’s paper business card and our AI reads the details - name, title, company, email, phone, website, address - into a contact you can edit, save to your Cardtly contacts, and add straight to your phone. A fast way to digitise the stack of cards you collect at events.
