Digitalizing university certificate issuance at UBT
How we designed and delivered a secure digital certificate issuance platform, replacing a fully manual institutional workflow at the University of Business and Technology.
In January 2024, we launched the UBT Digital Certificate Platform, moving the university’s certificate issuance from a slow, paper-based workflow to an automated, digitally-signed system.
The Problem
Before this project, generating, verifying, and distributing academic and administrative certificates required manual approvals, physical signatures, and in-person collection. This process was time-consuming and hard to audit.
The Solution
We built a secure, centralized web application backed by custom ASP.NET Core APIs. The platform handles:
- Automated certificate template generation.
- Digital approval workflows for department heads.
- Secure digital signing and verification.
- Instant PDF generation and student email delivery.
Outcomes
The platform completely replaced the manual process, saving hundreds of hours of administrative work and allowing students to download verified certificates instantly.
