Your questions, answered plainly

€240 per year per lodge, with every module and every update. The first month is free, time enough to try Sodalis with your brethren.

Yes. Start by visiting the demonstration lodge, no sign-up needed. After a demonstration, your lodge is opened with the first month free.

There is no self-service lodge creation: request a demonstration, and the Sodalis team opens your lodge with you and guides your first steps.

Through a CSV import assisted by artificial intelligence, which recognises your columns, or record by record from a photo of an identity document. As the opening is guided, we migrate your membership with you.

The database is hosted in France; documents uploaded to the lodge's binder are stored in the European Union. Each lodge lives within its own data perimeter, with no crossover with others.

Data is processed in accordance with the GDPR. The lodge is the controller of its data; Sodalis acts as its processor, on its behalf. The application contains no advertising and no audience-measurement tool.

Each brother enters his e-mail address and receives a personal, single-use link, valid for twenty minutes. There is no password to remember and none to steal; the session then stays open for thirty days on the device.

Every brother has his lodge's home page: visible meetings, news for his degree, agapes, polls. Only appointed officers enter the management area, and every meeting, agape, news item or document carries its own visibility. Investigation reports are compartmentalised separately.

Sodalis is designed first around the practices of the GLDF and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite — minutes and moral report templates included — and remains open to every lodge. The rite is a free field in the settings, and the lodge's templates can be edited.

Yes. Each brother chooses his language from several; the interface and the e-mails — summonses, digests, polls — follow it.

Sodalis is an installable web app: from the phone or tablet browser, “Add to Home Screen” places it among your apps. There is nothing to download from the app stores, and an internet connection is required.

A limited one, for specific tasks: answering questions about the application, pre-filling a record, summarising a paper, helping to write. It never makes decisions, is never used on candidates, and is scoped by role. It is not anonymous: the data a task needs is sent to the platform's AI provider.

Yes: the lodge remains responsible for its data. Dues and poll results export to CSV, current documents to a ZIP archive, and the Sodalis team can hand the lodge a complete backup of its data.

No. One e-mail address opens all his lodges, even across different obediences: a unified home page, a calendar layering each lodge in its own colour, and switching from one lodge to another in a single step.
