WORKS OFFLINE — Capture in Airplane Mode. Popl securely queues scans on-device and auto‑enriches + syncs to your CRM on reconnect (SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR‑aligned).

Offline lead capture app.

Why offline-first lead capture matters

Venue Wi‑Fi is unreliable—68% of event pros report connectivity issues—yet your reps still need to capture every conversation and get it into the CRM fast. Popl’s offline-first lead capture app lets teams scan badges, business cards, QR codes, and digital cards with no internet, stores data securely on-device, and auto‑syncs to your CRM the moment connectivity returns. This standardizes capture across all events while protecting speed‑to‑lead and ROI. Source, Universal Lead Capture.

Note: Offline capture sources include badges, paper business cards, QR codes (including LinkedIn), and lead forms. Digital card sharing is not included.

Works offline (explicit)

Offline mode / Works offline: Popl continues capturing every interaction without Wi‑Fi and safely queues data on‑device until you reconnect.

How sync works (3 steps) 1) Capture: Scan any badge, paper card, QR/LinkedIn QR, or submit a lead form; each record is saved locally in encrypted storage. 2) Enrich: When connectivity returns, Popl automatically enriches records in seconds with work emails, phones, titles, LinkedIn, and firmographics. 3) Sync: Enriched leads auto‑route to your CRM with custom mappings, dedupe, tags, owners, and campaign attribution—no CSVs.

Security note

• Offline records are encrypted at rest on device and encrypted in transit on sync. Popl is SOC 2 Type 2 evaluated and GDPR‑aligned. See SOC 2 and DPA.
