CompuSystems Introduces CompuLEAD Desktop II – The Next Generation Lead Retrieval System for Tradeshow Exhibitors

BROADVIEW, IL--After years in the making, CompuSystems, Inc. (CSI) has launched the next-generation lead retrieval system, CompuLEAD Desktop II (CL II). This new solution takes advantage of the latest advancements in data collection and management technology.

CL II gives tradeshow exhibitors an easy way to quickly and effectively capture and qualify leads on the show floor. It’s lightweight, small in size and features a slot reader to record attendee badges. The exhibitor simply drops the badge in the card slot -- no scanning or swiping is required. “This is the most logically designed and easiest to use device of this type I have ever used,” said C.B. Fields of Baritec Inc, who was an exhibitor at this fall’s American College of Surgeons 91st Annual Clinical Congress.

CL II utilizes cutting edge hardware and software to record badges to ensure quick and reliable badge scanning. “Reliability is the most important aspect of a lead retrieval unit,” said Chris Williams, CSI’s Senior VP of Sales. “In a tradeshow environment, lead generation is mission critical. We’ve invested in the best and most robust technology to ensure that our units read the first time, every time.”

“This lead retrieval system is the best I have ever used,” said Andrea Ortiz of Chad Therapeutics, an exhibitor at the Florida International Medical Expo 2005. “It was simple to operate and it worked every time.”

When exhibitors rent CL II, they are supplied with their own personal USB memory drive to store their leads electronically. The USB drive is built right into the unit so when a lead is recorded it is automatically stored to it. Exhibitors can remove the USB drive any time during the show should they need immediate access to their leads; otherwise they take it with them at the end of the show. Their leads are provided to them in the widely-used Microsoft Excel file format.

CL II has several other features to help exhibitors manage their leads more effectively on the show floor. They can recall a lead that was taken at an earlier time using the keypad and LCD, and then edit it by hitting a few buttons. The unit is equipped with the appropriate hardware and software to connect multiple units to an in-booth computer network. And it is Bluetooth enabled which allows it to communicate wirelessly with other Bluetooth devices.

“CL II does much more than the traditional lead retrieval system,” Williams continued. “It is much like a computer with an operating system running our proprietary lead management software. A software-based lead retrieval solution gives us tremendous flexibility, allowing us to quickly add features and functionality to meet the demands of our customers.”

To further enhance the lead retrieval experience at tradeshows, CSI has developed a software application to maximize efficiency in distributing and collecting the lead retrieval units in the exhibit hall. The new process is much faster, thus, significantly reduces exhibitor wait time.

CSI will demonstrate the new CL II capabilities at IAEM’s Expo! Expo! 2005 Annual Meeting & Exhibition.
