LokOS app for Android

LokOS — ERP tailored for village self-help groups

LokOS is a free enterprise resource planning (ERP) application designed to support financial intermediation and administration of self-help groups (SHGs) in rural India. It centralizes records and workflows so groups can manage loan repayments, member documents, and routine administrative tasks from a single application.

Key capabilities and tools

• Download master datasets for use when you don’t have an internet connection.
• Browse a list of all active SHGs and see pending or assigned tasks at a glance.
• Store members’ photos and important identity or membership documents in a secure digital archive.
• Track staff performance and customize capacity-building programs to suit different SHG needs.
• Record and monitor federation loan repayments and related financial activity.
• Serve as an integrated management information system so organizations don’t need several separate programs.

Suggested companion app

LokOS-Training App — a free, recommended add-on — focuses on informational support and training resources to complement the main LokOS tool, helping staff and members make the most of the platform.

Availability and constraints

The application is intended for users based in India and is not available for use outside the country. This geographic restriction is important to consider before planning deployment.

Summary: who benefits and what to expect

LokOS is best suited for organizations seeking an all-in-one MIS for SHG administration: it streamlines administrative workflows, improves recordkeeping, and supports offline access to essential master data. Its primary drawback is the India-only availability, which limits use by groups operating elsewhere.
