ProductHost Station
Assisted capture

Capture the lead even when they will not scan

Not everyone will pull out their phone at a booth. The Host Station lets your staff run the survey for the attendee in a quick guided loop, so you still capture a clean, qualified lead.

What it does

Staff-run capture

A team member fills the survey with the attendee, then resets for the next person in one tap.

Same survey and logic

It uses the exact survey you already built, including the conditional logic, so the data is consistent with self-serve scans.

PIN-authed staff loop

Staff sign in once and stay in a fast capture loop for the whole shift.

Why it matters

A share of attendees at any booth will not scan a QR code. They are in a hurry, their hands are full, or they simply prefer to talk. Without an assisted option those conversations end with a business card or nothing at all, and the lead is lost.

The Host Station keeps those leads in the same clean pipeline as everyone else. Because staff use the same survey and logic, an assisted capture is just as structured and qualified as a self-serve scan, with no messy notes to reconcile later.

It keeps a good conversation moving. Instead of asking the attendee to stop and take out their phone, your host captures the details while they talk, so the moment is never broken.

Frequently asked questions

What is assisted lead capture at a trade show?

It is when your booth staff fill in the survey for the attendee rather than asking the attendee to scan and do it themselves. Scaniam calls this the Host Station. Staff run the same survey in a fast guided loop, so you capture a clean lead even from people who will not use their phone.

Does the Host Station use the same survey as self-serve?

Yes. It uses the exact survey and conditional logic you already built, so assisted captures land in the same pipeline and are just as structured as self-serve scans.

How do staff run it during a busy shift?

Staff sign in once with a PIN and stay in a capture loop. After each attendee, one tap resets the form for the next person.

Is the Host Station a paid feature?

No. It is available on every plan. Plans differ by monthly response volume, not by feature.
