KARTEE
KARTEE vs HiHello
HiHello offers a professional presence platform. KARTEE delivers enterprise identity and contact capture infrastructure, unifying sharing surfaces under one governed profile for compliance, lead capture, and brand consistency.
From professional presence to enterprise identity infrastructure
Both platforms provide digital cards, email signatures, and meeting visuals. KARTEE unifies them into one governed identity, so Wallet, signatures, and captured contacts stay on-brand and feed your CRM.
HiHello operates as a professional presence platform, offering digital cards, automated email signatures, virtual backgrounds, a directory, scanning, and CRM attribution. Recipients access profiles without an app. Sharing options include QR, links, Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and NFC tags. HiHello is NFC-compatible but does not sell NFC cards. Enterprise plans include SSO, SCIM, and SOC 2 Type II.
KARTEE functions as identity and contact capture infrastructure for global enterprises. The same live profile powers Apple and Google Wallet in Online and Airplane (offline) mode, corporate HTML signatures, Zoom and Teams backgrounds, campaign QR codes, and optional NFC. Administrators enforce field locks and Azure AD / Entra ID directory synchronization. Partners deploy the platform under their own brand.

HiHello offers signature management at team scale. KARTEE extends this with native Wallet functionality (online and offline), optional NFC, multilingual profiles, and white-label deployment, all from one governed identity.
Apple and Google Wallet
Native Apple and Google Wallet in Online and Airplane (offline) mode. Recipients never download an app.
Optional NFC on the same profile
KARTEE NFC cards tap to the live profile. Hardware remains optional - identity does not require a shipment.
Multilingual identity
One governed profile supports multiple languages and markets. Global teams maintain consistent brand rules, regardless of their working language.
White-label deployment
Partners deliver KARTEE under their own brand, using the same identity and capture infrastructure.
Industry modules and ESG
Optional industry modules for restaurants, real estate, hospitality, finance, healthcare, education, government, and apps, plus an ESG dashboard for directional sustainability reporting.
Centralized governance
Field locks, templates, RBAC, and Azure AD / Entra ID directory synchronization keep every employee profile on-brand.
When KARTEE is the preferred solution
Choose KARTEE when all presence surfaces must originate from one live identity, including Wallet, optional NFC, multilingual profiles, and white-label deployment.
Brand and marketing teams
Lock cards, signatures, meeting backgrounds, and Wallet passes to a single live profile. This ensures every interaction reflects a consistent company brand.
Sales and field teams

Enterprise IT departments
Enforce field locks, Azure AD / Entra ID directory synchronization, SSO, RBAC, and audit logs across multiple entities. Identity follows the employee, not a shipping queue.
Global multilingual teams
Implement a unified identity program across diverse languages and markets. Every profile remains on-brand, regardless of the language employees use.
Partners and agencies
