# Digital business cards for retailers > ConnectMachine gives retailers branded digital business cards for store managers, buyers, and head office staff on one Team plan with centralized billing and admin branding controls. Buyers share their card by QR code, link, or wallet pass at vendor shows and scan supplier business cards into organized contacts with notes. ConnectMachine is an AI agent for digital business cards and contact management. Web version of this page: https://www.connectmachine.ai/for/retailers/ ## How it works ### Cards for every store and buyer An admin assigns a seat to each store manager and buyer. Every card carries the same brand, and billing sits with the business instead of on expense reports. ### Work the vendor show Share your card by QR with suppliers and brand reps, and scan the cards they hand you. Contacts scanned in the same place can be grouped under that show. ### Remember what each supplier offered Add a note on terms, samples, or minimum orders to each supplier contact. Ask the AI Concierge later and the right vendor comes back with the details. ## Why retailers choose ConnectMachine ### Consistent branding across locations The Team plan's admin branding controls keep cards consistent from the flagship to the newest store, with an optional custom domain. ### Nothing to install on the other side Suppliers, landlords, and local partners save your card from the browser or add it to Apple or Google Wallet. No app required. ### A searchable supplier network AI scanning turns vendor show business cards into contacts you can search by company or note, instead of a drawer full of paper. ## Why retail teams lose supplier contacts Retail buying runs on relationships with suppliers, brand reps, and distributors, and many of those start at vendor shows and showroom visits. Buyers come back with a stack of cards and a notebook of terms, samples, and minimum orders that rarely stay attached to the right name. Store managers keep their own contacts too: landlords, local partners, and service vendors. With digital business cards for retail teams, every buyer and manager hands out the same brand, and the supplier cards they collect become contacts with notes they can search later instead of a drawer of paper. ## How a retailer rolls out ConnectMachine Start with the buyers and head office staff who attend vendor shows, then add store managers location by location.
