No jargon — just what the software actually does when the connection drops, because for most of this market it will.
SchoolPro is a real desktop application, installed on a computer in your office. Your student records, fees, and everything else live in an encrypted database on that machine — not in a data center somewhere you can't reach.
LAN Server Mode turns one computer into the server; every other computer, logged in as whichever role they are, connects to it over the school's own network. No ISP, no monthly data bill, and no single internet outage stops everyone from working at once.
Your pupil, staff and fee records never leave the building unless you choose to back them up. An encrypted recovery file, with an optional offsite backup, means a crashed laptop doesn't mean losing years of records.
When a connection is available, SchoolPro connects for a moment — at least once every 30 days — to confirm your license and fetch updates and Uganda's latest tax rates. It sends your license number and a pupil count, never names or records. Out of reach for longer? You get 5 more days and plenty of reminders first.
One office PC holds the records. Everyone else connects to it across the building, whether the internet is up or not.
A guided wizard walks through school identity, classes, terms, fees, Uganda's statutory rates and a first admin account.
