Qriouz releases an app that is faster than a paper business card
In a time when many business are trying to go paperless business cards are still very much present. Qriouz a startup based in Slovenia launched an Android and iOS app that tackles this problem in a very original way.
- (1888PressRelease) July 07, 2016 - Professional networking is the core activity for any new or established business. A customer or potential business partner one impresses at a large event can make or break a business. A core part of professional networking is the exchange of contacts. Even though we live in what is supposed to be a paperless society the paper business card is still one of the main ways of achieving this.
There are many inherent problems in using a paper business card. They are not environmentally friendly, notoriously hard to organise and the transfer of data from the card to the digital world is tedious and time consuming work.
Several companies tried to develop digital business cards, however most simply try to transfer the paper business card into the digital world and they face quite a few problems. They require an internet connection to work, the user is required to set up yet another social profile and sharing them usually requires the user to ask for the phone number or e-mail of the person they wish to share it with.
Many businessmen started resorting to simply exchanging e-mails and connecting directly through LinkedIn.
The Qriouz app offers a new approach to the age old problem of business cards. The idea behind the solution is not to simply make a digital copy of a paper business card but utilise existing online entities that most people use on a daily basis and are easily accessible through smartphones, such as Linkedin, e-mail, file sharing, social networks etc. and make it easier to connect on those.
Qriouz connects with already installed apps and creates a shareable Qriouz code to easily connect or share files from person to person by simply scanning the other persons code. The Qriouz code can be scanned by any QR scanner or even Snapchat. Several apps such as Snapchat, Facebook messenger and WhatsApp are reintroducing QR codes as means of exchanging contacts. The most notorious of them being the Snapcode we see popping up throughout different social networks.
The app currently includes several social profile buttons, a customisable link and a vCard. Users can exchange those in the time it would take to pull out a business card without having to write down emails, phone numbers or worry about the internet. The app also works offline by keeping track of the connections you make in the history tab.
The team is just starting out and promises several exciting new features in the future.
