The admin app includes a login page where administrators must authenticate using their credentials.

JWT tokens are used to manage sessions securely.

• Manage exchange rates, locations, and currencies.
• View and update rates.
• Insert new rates.
• Delete rates.
• Data visualization using Google Charts.

Exchange Client App

• View nearest exchange rates based on location.
• View best exchange rates.
• Map integration with Google Maps.
• Reactive design.
