A Simple Interface for SHG Treasurers

The screens are built for a group treasurer who has not used software before. Attendance, savings and repayments are in the order a meeting runs, with plain labels throughout.

In the order the meeting runs

A meeting takes about an hour, often less.

Attendance first

Marking who came is the first item on the screen, since it is the first thing that happens in the room.

Savings as they are counted

Entering an amount takes one line, so a queue does not form behind the treasurer.

Repayment on the loan

A repayment is recorded from the member’s own loan, and the balance after it is shown at once.

Written the way the group speaks

Labels matter more than layout.

Plain language

Screens use the words savings, loan, interest and meeting. Technical terms are avoided.

Short path to daily work

Tasks done twice a month take few steps. Yearly tasks may take longer.

Used on a phone

Most treasurers record the meeting standing in a courtyard with a phone, and not at a desk.

Getting the group started

A group needs software it can work on its own.

Shown at handover

The treasurer and group leader are taken through the screens they will use, with their own group’s data already loaded.

Mistakes can be corrected

An entry typed wrongly can be corrected, and the correction carries a date.

Somebody to ask

When a screen is unclear, the team at the Nagarbhavi office answers by phone.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do all our members need smartphones?

No. The treasurer records the meeting, and a member with a phone can view her own record if the group wants that. Many groups run with one phone in the room.

How long does the interface take to learn?

It depends on the treasurer and the group. The screens follow the order of the meeting, and training is part of setting the system up.

Can we see whether this suits us before committing?

Yes. We start by looking at whatever you keep today, whether a register, an Excel sheet or nothing. The report says plainly if software is not yet worth it.
