The card opens in the browser, so no one needs to download anything. ### One school brand on every card An admin assigns a seat to each staff member, and branding controls keep every card consistent with the school's identity. ### Keep partner and vendor contacts organized Scan cards from education fairs, community partners, and vendors. Add a note on each so the next staff member knows the context. ## Why schools choose ConnectMachine ### Nothing for families to install Parents save a staff card from the browser or add it to Apple or Google Wallet, so the admissions contact is on their phone after the tour. ### Seats that follow staff changes Centralized billing and seat management on the Team plan let the school assign cards as staff join, without reprinting. ### Staff contacts only Cards represent school staff. Keep student information out of cards and contact notes, and share only the details families need to reach the right office. ## Why school contacts get lost after fairs and tours Admissions teams meet families at school fairs, open houses, tours, and parent nights, often one conversation after another. A printed card handed across a table is easy to lose, and a family that cannot find the right contact weeks later may not reach out at all. Staff also meet education partners, community organizations, and vendors, and those contacts tend to stay with whoever met them. Digital business cards for schools let admissions and office staff share a school-branded card families save from a QR code, and scan partner and vendor cards into contacts with notes. ## How a school rolls out ConnectMachine Start with admissions and front-office staff before fair season, then add administrators and department leads. [See how QR code business cards work.](https://www.connectmachine.ai/use-case/qr-business-card.md) 1. An admin starts a Team plan, billed centrally to the school, and assigns a seat to each staff member who meets families or partners. 2. Admin branding controls, and an optional custom domain, keep every card consistent with the school's identity. 3. Put a staff member's QR on table signs, slides, and tour handouts. Families save the card in the browser or to Apple or Google Wallet, with nothing to install. 4. Staff scan partner and vendor cards and add a note on context. Contacts scanned at the same fair can be grouped under that event. 5. Keep cards and notes to staff contact details only, never student information. ## Pricing - Free plan: Your digital business card and QR sharing, with 4 cards included. - $5.99 per month: Unlimited AI card scanning, voice notes, and the AI Concierge, or $59.99 per year. - Teams, $5.99 per seat: Team plan: $5.99 per seat per month, billed centrally to the school. ## FAQ ### Do parents need an app to save a staff card? No. They scan the QR code or open the link in a browser and save the contact, or add it to Apple or Google Wallet. ### Can every staff card use the school's branding? Yes. The Team plan includes admin branding controls and an optional custom domain, so every card matches the school. ### How do admissions teams use it at school fairs? Put the QR on the table or a banner so families can save the contact, and scan the cards of partners and counselors you meet. Contacts scanned in the same place can be grouped under that fair. ### What happens when staff change? The Team plan admin assigns and manages seats, so the school decides who holds a card. Billing stays with the school. ## Get started Families leave the tour with your contact saved.
