X-CD Technologies is proud to introduce X-CD Apply, a dedicated submission management product built on top of X-CD’s proven Forms and Review infrastructure. With X-CD Apply, associations can now set up, manage, and grow competitive application programs (awards, scholarships, grants, and research positions) through a single, guided experience, replacing disconnected manual workflows with a cohesive platform.
From Hours of Setup to Minutes
Running a competitive program in X-CD has traditionally meant manually coordinating separate form and review modules, configuring email communications from scratch, and assembling a process that was never designed as a unified whole. X-CD Apply replaces that with a guided configuration wizard that walks administrators through every step in a single flow, from choosing an award type and building the application form to setting up communications and review modules. The wizard adapts dynamically based on selections, skipping steps that do not apply, and generates all the necessary infrastructure on completion.
A new award program that once took several hours of manual configuration now takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Intelligent Year-Over-Year Migration
For associations that run annual programs, recreating forms and migrating applicant data each cycle is one of the most time-consuming recurring tasks. X-CD Apply eliminates that effort with purpose-built migration tools.
Administrators filter eligible applications from a previous cycle by review status and submission date, review a real-time summary of the migration pool, and execute with a single action. The original program is never modified. Returning applicants see their existing data pre-populated and can update it rather than re-enter it. What once took days now takes under five minutes.
Nominations, References, and Automated Workflows
Nomination and reference collection are standard requirements for many award programs, but configuring them in X-CD’s current tools requires complex, manual workarounds. X-CD Apply builds both workflows directly into the platform. For nominations, a nominator enters a colleague’s information, and the system automatically sends the nominee a unique link to complete or approve their nomination.
For references, administrators specify how many are required, and the system sends each reference provider a direct, unique link—no account creation or login needed. Reference status updates in real time on the administrator dashboard, showing exactly which references are pending, complete, or missing.
A Unified Dashboard for Every Program
X-CD Apply gives administrators a single screen with complete visibility into their award program. Application counts by status, reference and review progress, submission deadlines, open and close controls, and a shareable front-end URL for applicants are all accessible in one place. Administrators no longer need to move between disconnected modules to understand where a program stands. The dashboard serves as a real-time command center from launch through winner notification.
Real-Time Analytics and Submission Insights
X-CD Apply includes built-in analytics that refresh in real time without page reloads, giving administrators data-driven visibility that was previously unavailable. View submissions broken down by any multi-option field, track application velocity over time with interval and cumulative views, and see a geographic breakdown by country for international programs. All analytics data is also accessible via authenticated API endpoints for integration with external reporting tools, making stakeholder and committee reporting significantly easier.
Flexible and Scalable Pricing
X-CD Apply’s pricing model is designed with flexibility in mind, catering to organizations of all sizes and needs. Starting at a free tier for basic form creation, the platform scales to meet the demands of larger organizations with multiple awards, scholarships, and grants. Each tier provides access to more advanced features, such as unlimited submissions, review modules, file uploads, and data migration tools, ensuring that X-CD Apply can grow with your organization.
