Neil ThompsonRefTech, the award-winning provider of event registration, scanning and badging solutions, will be launching its latest innovation, ScanPod Mobile, on stand B45C at International Confex on 27th & 28th February at Excel London. Designed to bring greater flexibility and real-time data capabilities to attendee scanning, ScanPod Mobile offers a handheld solution that complements RefTech’s existing suite of event technology.
Building on the success of the original ScanPod, ScanPod Mobile delivers all the essential scanning functions - entry scanning, session & seminar scanning, verification scanning, access control, and delegate entitlement - now in a lightweight, handheld format. Connecting via local Wi-Fi or mobile data, ScanPod Mobile accesses the event database in real time, offering immediate updates and live data tracking.
While the original ScanPod offers a self-service solution, some clients prefer a human touch. Unlike other handheld options, which require manual downloads to update data, ScanPod Mobile delivers live scanning capabilities, enhancing efficiency and improving the delegate experience.
“Some organisers want that friendly face at the door or someone on hand for access control, but they still need real-time data. ScanPod Mobile offers the best of both worlds— allowing staff to greet, scan, and direct attendees while ensuring data is instantly available.”
Margaret Reeves, managing director at RefTech
One of ScanPod Mobile’s standout features is its seamless integration with existing ScanPods. Organisers can run both technologies simultaneously or independently, depending on event needs. Whether it’s a self-scan pod at the main entrance and staff using ScanPod Mobile at side entrances, or both working together at the same checkpoint, the system offers total flexibility.
Key organiser benefits:
- Revenue Protection: Real-time verification ensures badges can’t be passed on, safeguarding against non-registered access.
- Live Data Access: Instant attendee tracking means organisers can monitor capacity and flow in real time.
- Live Entry Control: Ideal for conferences with multiple sessions and ticketed events
- Compact & Portable: Works on Android and iOS devices, requiring no hardwired internet or power.
- Enhanced Delegate Management: Allocate delegate packs or catering entitlements while preventing misuse.
RefTech will demonstrate ScanPod Mobile at International Confex, where it will also be used to scan attendees into seminar theatres. Come to their stand to find out more (stand B45C)
