How to save a contact to the phone with a single scan?
Print a QR on your card or stick it in your shop window. The customer scans with their phone and the contact is saved directly into their address book with all your details prefilled.
Is the contact you hand out always outdated?

Why force people to type your name, phone and email?
Typing a contact manually takes between 30 and 90 seconds and produces errors. Most paper business cards end up in the bin within 24 hours.
Paper business cards end up in drawers, get lost or wet. When someone wants to call you three months later, they can't find the card. If they type it manually, they always misspell the email.
vCard QR with all your data encoded
A vCard QR encodes name, phone, email and website. The contact scans and the data is saved directly to the phone address book.
The QR contains a standard vCard file (compatible with iOS, Android and Outlook). When scanned, the phone offers to save the contact. Your name, company, phone, email and website are imported with no typing.

Yes. The vCard QR is static: all the contact information is encoded inside the code itself. It doesn't need a server or internet connection. The phone reads it and offers to save the contact locally.
The vCard format is a standard compatible with the native address book on iOS, Android, Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird and most contact managers. No extra app is required.
