About The Project

I built this application to tackle the issue of certificate forgery and verification; a problem my organization has been facing quite a lot. Manually maintaining and verifying certificates was time consuming for my colleagues. It aims to save time and effort for employees of any Testing, Inspection and Certification company by maintaining a certificate/report database and clients by allowing certificate/report verification using QR Code. Admins can add/edit/remove cetificate data from the dashboard and interested parties can verify the authenticity of the certificates. The project may be modified for verifying other things like product authenticity, or 3rd party reports.

Main Features:

• Maintain Certificate Database.
• Certificate Verification
• Admin Dashboard
• Generate and download QR Code for verification.
