If your team attends events, conferences, or client meetings, you already know the process:
You collect business cards…
Then spend hours manually entering that data into your CRM.
It’s slow, repetitive, and full of errors.
So the real question is — why are we still doing this manually?
💡 The Idea: OCR-Powered Lead Capture in NetSuite
Imagine scanning a business card and instantly creating a lead in NetSuite.
That’s exactly what SuiteWorks Tech’s NetSuite OCR Business Card Capture SuiteApp does.
It uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to:
- Extract text from business card images
- Map the extracted data to NetSuite fields
- Automatically create CRM records
No manual typing. No delays.
⚙️ How the Workflow Works
The automation process is simple and efficient:
- Capture or upload a business card
- OCR scans and extracts the data
- Key details are identified
- Data is mapped to NetSuite fields
- Lead or contact record is created instantly
📊 What Data Gets Extracted?
The OCR engine captures structured information such as:
- Full Name
- Email Address
- Phone Number
- Company Name
- Job Title
This data is organized and stored directly inside NetSuite CRM.
🧠 Why This Matters
From a system and business perspective, this solves multiple problems.
⏱ Eliminates Manual Work
No more repetitive data entry tasks for sales teams.
🎯 Improves Data Accuracy

🔐 Built Natively Inside NetSuite
Unlike many OCR tools, this solution is built directly within NetSuite as a native SuiteApp.
That means:
