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.
