New hajj portal design 2016

Today we see more compact design of hajj portal. This is good. But in passport process nothing changed from last year. Miss to old portal with fastest pilgrim registration.

Some companies can emulate passport scanner for web page not only with selenium today.
They can send pilgrims via http request without user interface. This is much faster. We have some solutions too.
And dont foget how you can emulate passport without any hardware.
