One company card for your whole team: consistent contact details, updated once
When everyone prints their own cards, your brand drifts and your details go stale at different speeds. One shared card design fixes both.
A small team's contact details are messier than they look. One person has last year's phone number on their cards, another used a different logo, a third never got round to ordering any and hands out a scrap of paper. To the customer it does not read as a tidy business — it reads as several people who happen to share a van livery. A single company card puts everyone on the same page.
The problem with everyone doing their own thing
Paper cards drift. Every reprint is a chance for the logo to be slightly wrong, the phone number to be a version out of date, or the job title to be whatever that person fancied that week. Multiply small inconsistencies across a crew and your brand looks fuzzy at exactly the moment you want to look established and reliable.
One profile design, many people
With Universal Contacts you set up a company card design once — your logo, your colours, your layout — and each team member gets their own profile inside it. The person's name and direct details change; the branding and the shared company details stay identical across everyone. A customer who meets your estimator and later your fitter gets the same consistent card twice, which is exactly the impression you want to leave.
- Shared branding: one logo, one colour, one layout for the whole team.
- Individual profiles: each person has their own name, photo and direct line.
- Shared essentials: the main office number, website and review link are the same on every card.
Update once, everyone changes
This is where a shared card earns its keep. Move office, change the main number, launch a new website or update the company logo, and you change it in one place. Every team member's card reflects it immediately — no collecting everyone's cards to reprint, no one accidentally handing out the old address for six months. The same is true when someone joins or leaves: add or remove a profile and the physical cards sort themselves out.
Change the company details once, and every card your crew carries is up to date the same afternoon.
Who carries what
Different roles need different cards, and that is fine. Your customer-facing staff might carry a smart printed card to hand over; site staff might prefer a rugged one that also opens the gate; everyone can keep a copy in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet so they are never caught without. Whatever they carry, it points at the same consistently branded profile, and every one of them can capture a lead back into your shared dashboard.
What it costs a team
Every profile is free, so you can set the whole team up at no cost and share by QR straight away. When you want physical cards, a team pack of five printed plastic cards is £95 as a one-off — add the five names at checkout and each person gets an invite that links their card to their profile automatically. Individual cards start at £24, with bamboo, dual-chip and metal finishes if particular roles want something different. There is no per-seat subscription; you buy the cards once.
Getting a crew set up
Start by building the company profile design and adding each person. Share by QR while you decide on materials, then order a team pack or a mix of finishes. Because the cards only ever point at the profiles you have already set up, ordering is the last step, not the thing you have to get perfect first.
