Japanese contact platform Sansan pilots virtual cards for Singapore clients

It allows easier digital exchange of personal information.

Japanese cloud-based contact management system provider Sansan is adding a virtual business card exchange function for key clients in Singapore and elsewhere, according to a news release.

The Sansan Virtual Cards function allows users to carry digital cards that can be issued via Sansan, and can be sent to others using the virtual business card exchange function. It also lets Sansan users issue a link to their virtual card and send it to others.

In addition to their name, email address, company name, and title, they can also send their profile photo with the business card, if the photo is uploaded to Sansan. Those who receive a virtual card can easily import the information to their phonebook or Sansan.

To receive the card, a person can scan a QR code on their phone and save the details into their list of contacts.

Key Singapore customers who will be onboarded include Ngee Ann Polytechnic, SuperStream and CEO Asia, in addition to PT. Affirmate Bisnis Nusantara, and OS Selnajaya from Indonesia, and Global Partners Consulting and ISI-Dentsu of America, Inc.
