The goal of this software is to make drafting out applications/letters a seamless task with the help of pre-defined templates and a user-friendly interface.

There can be 2 sets of users:

1. Executors, who can choose from a number of templates made available to them upon logging in and fill in additional details as required. Once done, they can send the final draft for approval.

2. Approvers, who approve applications

After an application is fully approved, it is ready to be sent out to the customer. The executor can carry out this task from within the software. Upon execution, the customer will receive a copy of the application in pdf format.
