CARTLY
The digital business card built for companies and teams
About CARTLY
CARTLY is a Swiss digital business card platform from Fribourg-based CARTLY Sàrl that lets sales, HR, and marketing teams create, brand, and manage virtual business cards from one admin dashboard. Team members share cards by QR code, link, Apple or Google Wallet, or email signature, and collected contacts sync to CRMs via Zapier. A free single-card plan covers individuals and freelancers.
