ScanPod Mobile

At the recent International Confex at ExCeL London, RefTech unveiled its latest innovation: ScanPod Mobile. This new handheld solution is designed to enhance attendee scanning by providing greater flexibility and real-time data capabilities, complementing RefTech's existing suite of event technology.

Building on the success of the original ScanPod, ScanPod Mobile offers all the essential scanning functions - entry scanning, session and seminar scanning, verification scanning, access control, and delegate entitlement - in a lightweight, handheld format. Connecting via local Wi-Fi or mobile data, it accesses the event database in real time, offering immediate updates and live data tracking.

One notable feature of ScanPod Mobile is its ability to integrate seamlessly with existing ScanPods. Organisers can use both technologies together or separately, depending on event needs. For example, a self-scan pod can be placed at the main entrance, while staff use ScanPod Mobile at side entrances, or both can operate at the same checkpoint, offering unparalleled flexibility.

Key Benefits for Organisers:

  • Revenue Protection: Real-time verification ensures badges can't be passed on, safeguarding against non-registered access.
  • Live Data Access: Instant attendee tracking allows organisers to monitor capacity and flow in real time.
  • Live Entry Control: Ideal for conferences with multiple sessions and ticketed events, enabling precise access management.
  • Compact & Portable: Compatible with Android and iOS devices, ScanPod Mobile requires no hardwired internet or power, making it highly adaptable to various event environments.
  • Enhanced Delegate Management: Facilitates the allocation of delegate packs or catering entitlements while preventing misuse

Margaret Reeves, Managing Director at RefTech, commented:

"Some organisers want that friendly face at the door or someone on hand for access control, but they still need real-time data. ScanPod Mobile offers the perfect solution, combining personal interaction with cutting-edge technology."

The launch of ScanPod Mobile emphasises our commitment to providing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of event organisers, ensuring efficient and secure event experiences for all attendees.
