Scan. Network. Follow up.

A complete event scanning platform built for organizers and event agencies - deploy it across all your events and hand each exhibitor a ready-to-scan setup. Works in the browser, no app required. And for exhibitors who want even more: a native iOS app with voice notes, AI avatars and offline queuing.

Run it for all your events. Give it to your exhibitors.

blipp.now is designed to be operated by an event agency or professional organizer - not by individual exhibitors figuring out a new tool. You set up the system once, import the participant list, and choose your badge format: NFC tags, QR codes, or plain printed badges that OCR reads as-is. Whatever the venue uses, it works. Exhibitors get a QR code - they scan it, they're live. No accounts to create, no app to install, nothing to configure. Every event you run can use the same platform.

🗓
One platform, many events
Manage multiple events simultaneously. Each has its own participants, scan stations and statistics - completely separated.
🏷
Batch NFC prep in the office
Export a file from the admin panel, load it into NFC Tools or any bulk writer, and write all participant badges before the event. No on-site scrambling.
🤝
Zero friction for exhibitors
Exhibitors scan one QR code to activate their scan station. Then they just scan badges. No apps to install, no support calls.
📊
Impress your clients
Hand exhibitors a lead report after the event with every contact, note and scan time. Give the organizer view cross-event networking data no competitor can match.

Organizers can invite editors to help manage participants and scan stations without giving them full event control. Works equally well for individual exhibitors - but the real power is at the organizer level.

  • Organizer mode - create participants and booths on the spot, write NFC tags directly from the app
  • Full offline support - scans queue locally and sync automatically when back online

Three scanning methods

One system. Three ways to scan.

Choose the method that best suits your event - or combine all three.

NFC scanning

NFC

Tap to scan

The exhibitor holds their phone against the visitor's badge. Blipp! Fast, modern and requires no interaction at all. Ideal for high-traffic flows.

QR code scanning

QR code

Point & scan

Point the camera at the participant's QR code. Blipp! Works with printed badges - no NFC tags needed. Cheap and simple.

OCR text recognition

AI Powered OCR

Text Scan

The camera reads the text on the badge and matches it against the participant list. Blipp! Works with existing badges - handwritten name badges works just fine! No participant list? No problem — add new participants on the spot from any scanned badge.

Ready in five minutes

From setup to first Blipp!

1
Organizer
Upload the participant list
Import a CSV with names, companies and contact info. The system links each participant to their badge automatically.
2
Organizer
Create badges and activation codes
Write NFC tags, print QR codes, or use existing badges. Print activation codes for exhibitors, staff and organizers - scan to link your phone and start scanning.
3
Event day
The exhibitor scans their activation code
Each exhibitor gets a unique QR code. One scan with their phone and they're linked to their scan station - ready to start collecting leads. Blipp! Works in the browser or via the BlippScanner iOS app. Password protection if needed.
4
Event day
Exhibitors scan. Participants network.
The exhibitor scans the visitor's badge - participant info and contact details appear instantly. Add personal notes per person, or generate an AI avatar as a fun ice breaker. Everything is logged automatically - even offline.
5
Participant
Participants collect digital business cards
Participants who scan each other's badges see contact info (and AI-generated avatar). One tap saves the contact. At the end of the day they email themselves their entire collected contact list.
6
After the event
Export leads and statistics
Each exhibitor sees who they met, with their own notes. The organizer sees total statistics and can close the event when it's done. All data exportable.

Features

Built for the real world

Zero friction. Full reliability.

Built for bad wifi

Event venues are notorious for overloaded networks - hundreds of phones competing for the same access point. Both the web interface and the iOS app queue every scan locally and sync the moment the connection recovers. Nothing is lost, nothing needs to be redone.

No install required

Scan the exhibitor activation QR code and you're live - any phone, any browser, zero installation. The web interface handles NFC, QR, offline queuing and full scan history. The iOS app adds voice notes, AI avatars and Universal Links on top of that, but it's never a requirement.

AI avatars

Each participant can get a unique, AI-generated avatar based on their profile info. Exhibitors can generate one on the spot - a small but memorable touch that gives visitors a reason to stop by the booth.

Digital business cards

Participants scan each other's badges and save contact details with one tap. At the end of the day they email themselves their entire contact list. Frictionless networking.

Role-based access

Organizers manage events with their own accounts and can invite editors for delegated access. Scan stations get individual activation codes. Hidden roles are not visible in the public list. Optional password protection per station.

Notes per scan

Exhibitors write a personal note right after scanning. "Interested in product X", "Send quote". Saved automatically and included in exports.

Real-time statistics

Scans per station, station activation status, connectivity monitoring and most visited scan stations - all live on the dashboard. The organizer sees everything as it happens.

Multi-event

Manage multiple events in parallel. Each event has its own participant list, roles, statistics and lifecycle. Close and archive events when they're done.

Under one second

Blipp! From scan to registration - under one second. No loading screens, no wait times. The exhibitor sees name, company, contact info and avatar instantly.

Booth activations

Exhibitors create quizzes, surveys or raffles that visitors launch by scanning a QR code at the booth. Responses are linked to identified participants - no extra sign-up needed.

Organizer mode

Create participants and booths directly in the app - no computer needed. Write NFC tags on the spot for both participant badges and booth activations. The entire event setup fits in your pocket.

Live scan list

Every scan adds a name to a growing list - newest at the top. Tap any name to expand contact info, notes and avatar. The list builds throughout the day so you always have context on who you've already met.

Participant networking

Not just for exhibitors

Participants scan each other - and the organizer gets data no one else can deliver.

1
Participant
Scan any badge
A participant sees a colleague's badge and scans it. The contact card appears instantly - name, company, title, email. Works without logging in.
2
Participant
Log in to save your scans
A soft prompt invites the participant to identify themselves - scan their own badge or search by name. Once logged in, every scan is saved. Zero friction, no app required.
3
Participant
Export and email
At the end of the day, the participant emails their complete contact list to themselves. All the people they met, in one place.
Organizer
Unlock networking analytics
This is where it gets interesting. The organizer now has access to data that no badge scanner on the market provides:

Mutual connections

Kalle scanned Anna and Anna scanned Kalle. Confirmed two-way interest - stronger than a one-way scan. Track the reciprocity rate across the entire event.

Company interaction map

See which companies' employees networked with each other. "Volvo people scanned mostly IKEA and ABB." Reveals real interest clusters between organizations.

Cross-company networking

Are people networking outside their own company? A high cross-company rate means the event format works. A low rate may indicate too few open networking slots.

Most active networkers

Who scanned the most people? Who got scanned the most? Identify the natural connectors at the event - and the most sought-after participants.

Networking timeline

When did most participant-to-participant scanning happen? During coffee breaks, lunch, or the after-party? Helps organizers optimize future event schedules.

Event networking score

"73% of participants scanned at least one other participant." A single number that proves the event worked as a networking platform. Powerful for sponsors and stakeholders.

Booth activations

Give exhibitors a reason to engage

Exhibitors create interactive experiences that visitors launch by scanning a QR code at the booth.

Quiz & trivia

"How well do you know our products?" A fun, competitive format that draws visitors to the booth and keeps them engaged. Results visible to both visitor and exhibitor.

Surveys & polls

"What's your biggest challenge in manufacturing?" Instant market research, right at the booth. Structured data instead of scattered notes.

Raffles & prize draws

Scan to enter. No forms, no paper slips. The visitor is already identified - one tap is all it takes. The exhibitor draws a winner at the end of the day.

Lead qualification

"Which of our solutions are you interested in?" A short form that turns a badge scan into a qualified lead. Answers are attached to the visitor's profile and included in exports.

Zero sign-up

The visitor scans the QR, answers the questions, done. Their identity is already known from their badge - no name, email or phone number to fill in. Pure content, zero friction.

Engagement analytics

The organizer sees which scan stations had the deepest engagement - not just badge scans, but completed interactions. A new dimension of event data that no other scanner provides.
