What is a digital business card?
A digital business card is a web page accessible from a smartphone. It contains your professional contact details and can be shared by QR code, link, Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or email signature. Unlike a paper card, it’s always up to date and measures your network.
How does a digital business card work?
Each CARTLY digital business card has a unique URL. Your contact opens it by scanning a QR code, clicking a link in an email, or from your social profile. They can save your contact details in one click, with no app required.
No app to install for your contacts: the card opens in the phone’s browser.
Contact details can be saved directly to the address book via VCF format.
What a digital business card changes compared to a paper card
A paper card is static: it becomes outdated whenever a number or title changes, and it produces no data on its usage. A digital business card updates in real time, generates usage analytics, and can be shared remotely without any physical constraint.
Instant updates: no reprinting needed when something changes.
Measurable: views, clicks, QR scans, and contact exchanges tracked in real time.
Shareable remotely: by email, WhatsApp, SMS, email signature, or a shared link.
For companies: centralized management of the entire fleet
For companies, a digital business card is more than an individual profile. CARTLY lets you manage your entire organization’s digital business cards from an admin portal: templates, permissions, analytics, automated onboarding.
