From application to decision and reporting

Every programme has its own rules. Submit.com brings the key stages into a structured workflow that can be configured around your eligibility criteria, assessment approach and approval process.

Apply

Guide applicants through relevant eligibility questions and collect the information and documents required for their application.

Claim

Collect supporting evidence and monitor claims, expenditure and delivery against the requirements of each programme.

  • A clear record of every application, assessment, comment and decision
  • Role based permissions and separation of duties between reviewers and approvers
  • Reporting configured for each programme, with export for year end returns
