3D Model - Swiftium Lead Retrieval Scanner
June 3, 2011 by Travis
Filed under Other News From SmartSource
Lead Retrieval and attendee tracking is standard practice at large scale conventions and trade shows. SmartSource is the official at well over 300 trade shows each year and provides trade show rentals and services to many more shows and events across the nation.
3D Model of Swiftium Barcode Scanner
The Swiftium Barcode Scanner offered by SmartSource rentals is becoming increasingly popular with exhibitors and associations hosting events. This device is a blackberry based lead retrieval unit that is housed in a small sled with a powerful scanner. The blackberry processes an attendee’s information when their badge is scanned (usually with a 2d barcode) with the swiftium device. The data is stored for future follow up or sales opportunities.
One advantage of the Swiftium lead retrieval scanner from SmartSource is the availability of real time lead data. Since the device uses a blackberry, it is possible to transmit data from the trade show or exhibit floor in real time. This data can be accessed and viewed over the web from other locations or employees. This flexibility gives companies more options and access to follow up with their data and view the overall impact at the event.
SmartSource recently added a new 3D Swiftium Barcode Scanner model to it’s website to give a more up close and personal view of the device. Using your mouse you can click on the device and rotated it any way you want to get a better view/idea of the physical device.
For information on providing lead retrieval scanners and attendee tracking at your next trade show, convention or event - call SmartSource at 800.888.8686 to connect to the office closest to your location.

SmartSource Word Cloud

Technology solutions from SmartSource Rentals can include a huge variety of things and it is hard to sum up in a few words. SmartSource offices nationwide have provided everything from notebook and laptop rentals to full service event productions with sound, lighting and Audio Visual. A good way to quickly visualize some of the solutions SmartSource Rentals provides is by using a word cloud.
Using a great word cloud creation site to generate a visual cloud was easier than one might think and almost immediately created a great visual interpretation of many of the things the company has to offer. Judging from the word cloud created using pages from the SmartSource Rentals website, the main themes include technology, event, courtroom, trade show, rentals and of course SmartSource. This is a great representation and pretty accurate.
Technology Rentals:
This one is a no brainer for SmartSource. The company has a multi-million dollar inventory of technology rental equipment including computers, laptops, plasma displays, LCD’s, Kiosks, Projectors, Speakers, Microphones and more.
Event Rentals:
This could be just about any event but generally involves larger business events or full scale AV productions. Trade shows, conventions, user conferences and corporate training events are the most common and large scale events such as the ING New York City Marathon are not uncommon.
Courtroom Rentals:
Litigation usually involves specific technology and experience configuring rental equipment properly to ensure that it not only works but that it is setup in a way that certain members of the courtroom can or can not see certain things. Overhead projectors, flat screen monitors and closed circuit video is some of the more common technology.
Trade Show:
As the official to more than 300 Trade Shows every year and countless involvement providing technology rental equipment and services to many others, SmartSource can be considered trade show technology experts. New digital signs and display offerings and interactive touch screen kiosks are particularly popular.
