### lead capture

**notes:** EuroBLECH is a 'Smart Event' – exhibitors are provided with a printed Colleqt QR Code table card for their stand. Visitors scan the code to receive digital materials, and their contact information is automatically stored as a lead. Exhibitors can also use the Lead Manager App to scan visitor badges, add custom qualification questions, and manage leads in real-time. The app works offline for scanning and syncs when connectivity is restored. Lead data can be exported via the Exhibitor Dashboard or a dedicated lead report.

- Colleqt QR Code – static QR code on each stand; visitors scan to receive exhibitor information and their contact details are automatically captured.
