• Approval System
  This is software that has been written to approve documents digitally. This system will inform a Land Surveyor via e-mail or fax as soon as a document has been approved or not approved.

• Data Provision Management System
  This system will allow any client of the Surveyor-General to set up a profile of data (shopping basket) that is required by their organization on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual basis. This software will automate the provision of data to any organization that has a profile lodged with the Surveyor-General. The provision of any data required will thus be timeous and correct.
