Smart business cards for sales teams
Taplink gives every sales rep a branded NFC and QR business card that shares their profile with a tap, saves to the prospect's phone in one more tap, and lets the prospect send their own details straight back to the rep. It is built for South African sales teams of 10 or more and managed from one admin portal. Cards cost a one-off R399 each for 10 to 49 reps, falling with volume, plus R90 per card a year, including VAT.

Built for the way sales actually works
Paper cards go stale when a rep changes number or title, get lost in a jacket pocket, and give you no idea whether they ever led anywhere. A sales team also changes: people join, move regions, and leave, and reprinting the whole team every time is slow and expensive.
A Taplink card fixes all of that. It is always up to date, it saves straight to the prospect's contacts, and it can put your rep one tap away on WhatsApp. When a rep leaves, you switch their card off from the dashboard rather than hoping it was handed back.
What it does for your reps
Share every detail in one tap
A tap or scan opens the rep's profile, and the prospect saves every detail in one tap. No typing, no lost card.
Follow up on WhatsApp
A WhatsApp link on the profile turns a first meeting into a direct conversation, while the rep is still front of mind.
Every rep on-brand
One consistent, branded profile layout across the team, so a junior rep and a regional manager present with the same polish.
Add and remove reps fast
Provision new joiners in bulk from a list, and deactivate a leaver's card immediately from the dashboard.
Update without reprinting
A new number, title, or promotion updates once, centrally, and every card already in the field opens the new details. Leave the number off the printed card and nothing ever needs reprinting.
Ready for expos and events
A tap works on a busy stand, so reps share fast and prospects keep the details without collecting paper.
The other direction: capturing the prospect
Handing over details is only half of a first meeting. Every rep's profile can also show a “Share your details” form, so the prospect can send theirs back on the spot. They give a name and an email address or telephone number, and can add a company and a note.
The rep is emailed the moment it happens, while the conversation is still fresh. The visitor has to tick a consent box first, and the time they gave consent is stored with the lead, which is the record you will want if anyone asks how the contact details were obtained.
Your sales manager sees every lead the team has captured on one dashboard and exports the lot to CSV, from your own account, whenever it is needed.
To be clear about the boundaries: there is no CRM integration, no lead scoring, and no automated follow-up sequence. Leads reach your reps by email and reach your systems as CSV.

Can a prospect save a rep's details without an app?
Yes. The prospect taps or scans the card and the rep's profile opens in their browser. They save the full contact details in one tap, with no app to install.
Can a rep follow up on WhatsApp from the card?
Yes. A profile can include a WhatsApp link, so a prospect can open a conversation with the rep straight from the card. It turns a first tap into a direct line of contact.
Can we keep every rep on-brand?
Yes. Every card and profile carries your company branding and a consistent layout, so the whole sales team presents the same professional identity.
What happens when a sales rep leaves?
Deactivate their card from the central dashboard. Their profile stops working immediately, so a departing rep does not walk away with a live company card.
Can we roll cards out to a large or changing sales force?
Yes. Provision cards in bulk from a list and add or remove reps as the team changes, without reprinting anyone else's card.
Do the cards work at expos and events?
Yes. A tap or QR scan works anywhere, so reps can share details fast on a busy stand and prospects keep them without collecting paper.
