Frequently Asked Questions about the CloudContacts Business Card Service

Why did you create CloudContacts?
Simple, we wanted a better way to use the contacts we made at events, conferences and everywhere else. Our cards were stuck on our desks and not being used when they were most needed. CloudContacts changes that by allowing you to access your contacts from anywhere, anytime.

What services does CloudContacts support?
We support exporting to most of the popular email applications including Outlook, Entourage, Thunderbird and Exchange. We provide links where possible to social networking services including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. In addition, our general export should work for all other services.

How does CloudContacts compare to business card scanners?
Our process provides accurate data from the business card plus so much more. We hear that many times business card scanners require you to manually fix each card. Also, using our service takes just a few moments, not hours of processing.

What happens to my business cards?
Once we process your cards, you can view an image of each business card anytime. Your cards can either be returned to you or you can opt to have your cards recycled. Our goal is to recycle 1 million cards this year.

How long does it take to get my cards back?
Approximately two weeks after we process your cards, we will contact you to ask if you would like your cards back. If card return is requested, we will ship the cards typically the next business day. Many of our customers allow us to recycle their cards since our system stores an image of each card.

Can you add X service to your lineup?
If we have another service we'd like CloudContacts to work with, how do we get it setup?
Just let us know what services you would like us to connect to and we will add it to the upcoming services list.
