Do I need an internet connection?
No. The database is on your server, the mobile app holds its work offline, and the program updates from your own server. Only the optional assistant backend ever reaches outside, and it switches off.
What happens if my server dies?
It is PostgreSQL. Your backup, your schedule, your off-site copy, set up with you at installation. Documents are rows in the same database, so one dump takes the lot. The phones keep working offline meanwhile.
Can I get my data out?
Any SQL client, pg_dump, or the export on the reports
board. No export fee. There is nothing to hand back, because you never
gave it away.
Does it replace my accounting software?
No. It integrates with the finance software you already run. Umami owns the job, the hours, the parts and the machine, and hands over a clean invoice.
What hardware do I need?
An office desktop running Windows 10, Windows 11 or Linux. No graphics card, on the desk or the server. The tablets can be the ones you have. The server is small.
What about my phones and tablets?
Android 7.0 and later, and iOS. Android devices update from your own server, so nothing is published to a store. Techs can use their own phones; the shop revokes access by killing the token.
What does it cost to run?
Electricity and a box. Everyday assistant answers cost nothing. The optional model backend is metered by whoever you chose to run it, and you can turn it off.
Can my mechanics see everybody’s wages?
No. Rights are set per person and enforced in the database, not only on the screen.
