Q: Can I use any scanner with the iOS/Android app?

A: No.  Showlink is designed specifically to integrate with the Socket Mobile scanner only.

Q: Does ShowLink work at every show?

A: ShowLink can read barcodes from the attendee’s badge provided they contain the necessary data.  For a list of shows that have used compatible badges in the past, please click here http://sageworld.com/supplier/showlink-tradeshows.php.  Showlink also includes a business card scanner.

Q: Can I use ShowLink on multiple devices in my booth?

A: Absolutely.  ShowLink works great with multiple scanning devices.  When scanning from multiple devices, all of your leads will be aggregated into one list automatically for reporting.  Each device needs its own ShowLink device license (and scanner if you are using scanners).  So you will just need to purchase as many licenses and scanners as you need.
