Smart Card Scanner
The Smart Card Scanner revolutionizes business card management by leveraging artificial intelligence and seamless integration with ERPNext. This intelligent tool allows users to scan or upload business card images using a Telegram chatbot interface, making the process highly accessible and convenient from anywhere.
Overview
Upon receiving the scan, advanced AI models analyze the image, extracting structured contact information including full name, phone numbers, email addresses, company names, job titles, and other relevant data fields. This extracted data is then automatically pushed and validated within ERPNext, ensuring clean, accurate, and immediately actionable CRM records. The system performs a robust duplicate check to verify whether the contact already exists in ERPNext. If a match is found, the existing record is updated with any new information, maintaining data freshness and avoiding redundancy. If no match exists, the system looks for an associated lead or customer record. Based on this check, contacts are either linked to existing leads/customers or new lead/contact entries are created, keeping the sales funnel complete and current. This automated pipeline eliminates the tedious manual entry of business card details, reducing human errors, and accelerates the process of lead generation and follow-up with real-time integration.
Purpose

- To ensure strict compliance with internal system permissions and data governance standards.
- To maintain high-quality, standardized, and consistent contact data within the ERP system.
- To provide a streamlined, step-by-step workflow for business card capture and CRM data enrichment.
