The AI contact recognition module allows you to convert offline interactions into structured leads within your CRM without manual input.
The solution is integrated into the AvadaCRM interface and works via camera: the user takes a photo of the data carrier, after which the system extracts contact information, creates a ready-made lead card, and additionally saves the source image in the chat with that contact.
The module processes not only business cards but also any media — banners, flyers, packaging, presentations, device screens, documents, and advertising materials. AI analyzes the data structure and automatically distributes it across CRM fields.
Technologies: Computer Vision, OCR + AI, Python, OpenAI/Vision API
Where is it used?
The module is integrated into the mobile version of the CRM and is used as a tool for quickly collecting contacts in the field.
Managers can capture data directly during interactions at meetings, presentations, client offices, showrooms, or events and immediately save it in the system. The contact appears in the CRM already populated and ready for further work.
Problem
Collecting contacts outside of a digital environment remains ineffective: data is captured in the form of photographs or on paper, but is not systematized and often does not reach the CRM.
Manually transferring information takes time, is prone to delays, and is prone to errors. As a result, some leads are lost and processing speed is reduced.
Task
Create a tool that allows you to capture and structure contact information as soon as it is received.
The key focus is not only on text recognition, but also on its interpretation: the system must understand the structure of information and generate a complete contact card without user intervention.
How the solution works
- the user captures an image through the camera;
- the system selects text areas and extracts data;
- AI analyzes the structure and determines the types of information;
- a contact card with filled fields is generated;
- The original image is saved in the lead's card and chat.
The whole process takes a few seconds and does not require any additional actions.
Possibilities
The system is adapted to real-world conditions and works with a wide range of data sources. It handles complex layouts, extracts information even with poor image quality, and works correctly with multiple languages.
AI doesn't just recognize text, it identifies key entities and organizes them into a structured format.
The system automatically detects: phone, Telegram, WhatsApp, email, website (URL), LinkedIn and other social networks, first and last name, company, additional contact and text information.
Use cases
- exhibitions and meetings - quick collection of contacts without losses;
- work “in the field” - adding leads immediately after communication;
- networking - maintaining contacts without business cards;
- lead generation and market analysis – collecting a database of companies and contacts;
- work with any sources - banners, screens, documents;
- Digitalization of the database – transfer of business cards and materials to CRM.
Technical implementation
The solution is based on a combination of Computer Vision and OCR, followed by AI processing.
After recognizing the text, the system analyzes its structure, identifies entities (name, company, contacts, links), and converts the data into CRM format. Data transfer is accomplished via an API.
Processing is performed in real time, allowing the tool to be used directly during the interaction process.
Architecture
- interface with camera access;
- image processing service;
- OCR / Vision models;
- data analysis and structuring module;
- CRM integration API;
- image storage.
Result
The implementation of the module bridges the gap between offline contacts and CRM.
Contacts are recorded at the moment of interaction and immediately become part of the sales funnel.
Business effect:
- acceleration of contact processing;
- reduction of operational workload;
- minimizing lead loss;
- increasing reaction speed.
