## Map-first exhibitor discovery (search, categories, POIs)

Start with discovery. Nextech maps are built to help attendees find exhibitors fast—with search, categories, POIs, and clear routes from “interested” to “at the booth.”

## Lead retrieval workflows (scan, qualify, export)

Give exhibitors a lead retrieval experience built for show-floor speed. Capture leads, qualify on the spot, and export clean data for follow-up—without relying on perfect Wi-Fi.

- Fast scanning, qualifiers, notes, and lead scoring
- Offline-tolerant capture and secure export options
- Exhibitor dashboards for scans and lead quality
