The selection of qualified manpower and the competencies needed by any institution in a standard circumstance, and due to the clarity of the system requirements, the Waterfall Model methodology was used as an implementation model for the application, and the necessary data was collected from electronic and traditional sources, as well as general research was used in various sources of information, and it was used.  The experimental approach to analyze the system and use the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in it, and to design the system, the Android Studio program was used to build the application using both JAVA and XML languages. This application was linked to a database (Firebase), and finally the partial and complete testing was done to detect and handle errors, and it was proven.  The results of this research are that all the desired goals have been achieved, and an easy-to-use system free of complexity has been reached.
