Business Development Manager / Education, Healthcare and Technology industry
"Excellent for managing cards and professional network"
The app is incredibly intuitive. In the past three months, colleagues have asked me to make introductions at least five times. A scanner must be purchased for professional use, and you need to learn how to operate it, although it's not challenging. I no longer spend time managing my business cards.
M
Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
"Superb business card management solution"
Locating a card is extremely rapid and effortless. The app integrates with my phone to show caller names for business contacts. No training is necessary to operate Sansan. I can't think of any current drawbacks except the price being somewhat high. I can always give my boss contact details without him managing cards himself. Physical card storage and management hassles are gone. All employees who handle cards benefit, so overall efficiency in managing cards has improved.
M
Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
"Effective for B2B relationship management"
It's easy to search for who you've met from a specific company, which is often hard to remember, and to identify which colleagues have connections to a target company and their positions. The digitization process can sometimes be slow, but it clears out piles of business cards while quickly converting them. Managing B2B relationships, including those of colleagues, is simplified.
M
Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
"Excellent for managing business cards"
The interface is very intuitive. Card registration can be done with the provided dedicated scanner (which is incredibly fast) or via the app's auto-detection camera. Retrieving card data is also effortless. From a business standpoint, sharing and viewing colleagues' relationship details is highly efficient. I see few drawbacks; occasionally, the camera auto-detection struggles with complex card designs. Retrieving contacts and seeing what connections my colleagues maintain is straightforward.
E
Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)
"Vast time savings and enhanced value"
I can quickly locate necessary information even with vague hints. I had a huge amount of disorganized data—contacts, meeting minutes, company info, and interaction history. Sansan consolidates all of it effectively. Additionally, I can access the same type of information from my colleagues, multiplying the value tenfold. After leaving the company, that data would become useless. Sansan reduces the time needed to find information and helps me easily grasp the relationship between my company and others.
S
Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)
"Utilizing Sansan in private equity"
Sharing card details among the team is essential for winning business in my country. The website's interface is generally solid. Sansan hasn't introduced any surprising features or updates; I rely on it purely as a card information repository. One minor UI annoyance: searching from the top page defaults to 'within my cards' instead of the company-wide database. The platform forces sharing of business contacts among the team, ensuring no one hoards contacts. This is beneficial in a team-oriented environment where incentives might otherwise be misaligned.
D
Director
"Top-notch networking solution"
The interface makes it easy to search for the right external contacts in any industry. Searching by company name yields the person's name, division, title, which colleague can connect, and even when cards were first exchanged. It's a unique business intelligence product. Scanning and uploading is simple, but cards still require manual scanning. The tool reveals the depth and recency of our company's relationship with a target company based on the number of colleagues who have that card and the exchange timing.
M
Manager, Strategic planning department, Nutrition and Agriculture Business Unit
"Highly precise and intuitive card digitization tool"
Creating a thorough and correct digital contact database is straightforward. Among the various card digitization tools I've used previously, this one stands out for its precision and interface. It also provides access to colleagues' contact banks within my organization. However, I occasionally hesitate to digitize personal network cards because the corporate contract makes all data visible to everyone. The tool saves considerable time searching for people I've met in the past, and making calls or sending emails directly from the app is easy. It also regularly informs me when clients in the database get promotions or transfers, which certainly helps in maintaining communication.
O
Office Manager
"Cloud-based centralized information"
The system syncs with cloud data, allowing access from any connected computer and enabling information downloads. No data loss occurs, and complete user details are digitized with specific information stored online. Searching by category is immediate, though there are limitations when scanning certain types of client documentation. The database manages and organizes customer lists centrally, and updates propagate across connected users, who can respond to new requests.
M
Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
"Locating past contacts per company made simple"
The process of scanning business cards is straightforward, and I can quickly retrieve details about potential clients. On a functional level, I have no complaints; however, the cost is significantly high. Even when I haven't previously met an individual, finding their information is effortless.
