Common questions
Clear answers, without overclaiming.
Can Datab work without continuous internet?
Datab is designed around local-first deployment patterns. The exact continuity available depends on the product, channels and integrations selected for an institution.
Does local-first mean anti-cloud?
No. It means deployment choice, a closer operational recovery path and more institutional control. Appropriate cloud services can still extend backup, access and coordination.
Does Orula make decisions for staff?
No. Orula is positioned as institution-specific assistance: summaries, patterns and recommendations under explicit human approval boundaries.
Who is Datab currently for?
Our commercial focus is microfinance banks, smaller regulated financial institutions, cooperatives, thrift societies and other member-owned finance institutions.
How is a deployment scoped?
We begin with workflows, roles, data, branches, connectivity, controls and recovery requirements—not with a fixed hardware package.
Is every platform capability generally available?
Readiness varies. We distinguish shipping product functions, preview capabilities and planned extensions during the deployment conversation.
