Army Umrah Automation System ( AUAS)

Abstract

With every upcoming year, Pakistan Army repeats a complete process of manual selection of candidates for Umrah based on laid criteria. Applicants apply through traditional mailing system. Complete process including application reception, short listing of ineligible candidates and final selection of candidates based on their merit along with necessary correspondence is done manually with the help of clerks. The faculty and staff try to manage this heap of data by generating results, but the output is still error prone. Considering the requirements of Pakistan Army, Army Umrah Automation System (AUAS) is a web application that provides its three categories of users: staff, manager and administrator; a simplified and automated Umrah selection system. We can also call these users as representatives at Unit, Corps and GHQ. Its extensive scope features task like viewing dashboard, managing pilgrim records, pilgrims lists, booking records, viewing and updating booking status, hotel management, selection of travelling agency, voucher generation and printing etc. AUAS is looked forward to as an app that provides its users with the services which they need in order to perform all the work with ease and more accuracy. With a simple and elegant user interface and constant online availability, AUAS is a successful replacement for the traditional Umrah selection system.
