FAQ
Will there be a charge for processing in business cards from Eight?
Our data input staff will change the images into data, so this will use some of your digitization limit in the same way as scanning in from the Sansan scanner. Depending on the contract you have, if you exceed the limit for digitization, an extra charge may result, so please use this after checking how many more cards you can have digitized.
How long will it take for the images to be changed into data?
Please note that it may take some time to redigitize card images. This depends on the amount of cards being processed and on the overall server load. Cards processed via the Sansan Scanner or Mobile App are also given system priority over those imported from Eight.
Are cards previously acquired from Eight included?
No, they are not. There is no duplicate importing.
