Questions

What advocates ask us.

Can other firms see our files?

No. Each firm has its own private database, and every document is only served to people signed in to your firm. MobKazi staff only access your system when you ask for support.

We keep everything in Excel and paper files. Can you bring it in?

Yes. Send us your client list and active matters in whatever form you have them, and we load them for you during setup.

Do we need to install anything?

No. Shauri runs in the browser on any computer, tablet or phone. Your team signs in at your firm's address.

How do the SMS court reminders work?

When you add a court date and tick "remind the client", Shauri texts the client the day before with the time and the court. You choose how many days before in Settings.

What happens if the internet goes off?

Whatever you were working on stays on the screen, and Shauri saves it as soon as the connection is back. The top bar always shows whether your changes are saved.

What if we want to leave?

Your data is yours. We export your clients, matters and documents for you, and you can cancel any time.
