Smarter Onsite Data, Captured Automatically.

vFairs RFID and BLE Smart Event Badges log every meaningful booth visit on their own, rank leads by dwell time, and tie each one to a real, named attendee from your registration data. No one has to remember to scan.

You leave the event with floor heatmaps, session dwell time, and complete exhibitor lead reports, all flowing into the same dashboard as your check-in and registration data.
