Platform Overview
Architecture and technology behind SheraAI LMS.
Built for Educational Reality
SheraAI LMS is designed around how educational institutions actually operate. Schools don't always have reliable internet. Teachers need tools that work in classrooms, not just offices. Parents want visibility without complexity.
Every architectural decision reflects these realities. The platform works offline, syncs automatically, supports multiple user roles with appropriate access levels, and runs on the devices teachers and administrators already use.
Offline-First Architecture
Full functionality without constant connectivity.
Most school management software assumes reliable internet access. When connectivity fails, work stops. SheraAI LMS inverts this assumption.
How It Works
- Local-First Data Storage: All data is stored locally on the device. Teachers can mark attendance, record grades, and manage classes without any network connection.
- Background Synchronization: When internet becomes available, the system automatically syncs local changes to the cloud. No manual action required.
- Conflict Resolution: If the same record is modified on multiple devices while offline, the system uses timestamp-based resolution to merge changes intelligently.
- Selective Sync: Users can control what data is available offline, managing device storage for their needs.
Practical Benefits
- Attendance can be marked during internet outages
- Teachers in areas with poor connectivity can work normally
- No data loss when connections drop unexpectedly
- Reduced dependence on school network infrastructure
Multi-Role Access Control
Right information to the right people.
SheraAI LMS supports eight distinct user roles. Each role has a tailored interface showing only relevant features and data, reducing complexity and protecting sensitive information.

Cross-Platform Synchronization
All platforms connect to the same cloud infrastructure. Changes made on any device appear on all other devices in real-time when connected. A teacher can mark attendance on their phone during class, and the administrator sees it immediately on their desktop.
Cloud Infrastructure
Secure, scalable backend services.
SheraAI LMS uses Firebase as its cloud infrastructure provider. This provides enterprise-grade reliability, security, and scalability without requiring institutions to manage their own servers.
Infrastructure Components
- Cloud Firestore: NoSQL database for structured data storage with real-time synchronization
- Firebase Authentication: Secure user authentication with multiple sign-in methods
- Cloud Storage: File storage for documents, images, and attachments
- Cloud Functions: Serverless compute for background processing and integrations
- Firebase Cloud Messaging: Push notifications across all platforms
Reliability
Firebase infrastructure is managed by Google Cloud Platform, providing high availability and automatic scaling. The platform handles traffic spikes during peak usage periods (like exam result releases) without performance degradation.
Technology Stack
Modern, proven technologies.
Cross-platform UI framework
Cloud infrastructure
Real-time database
Serverless backend
Flutter enables single-codebase development for Android, iOS, and web platforms while delivering native performance. Firebase provides a complete backend-as-a-service solution that scales automatically with usage.
