You don't need special equipment: Owari Agro is a web app you use from the browser of the phone, tablet or computer you already have, and you can install it on your home screen like an app. There's no need to look for it in an app store: you sign in with your account and the screens adapt to each device's size.
How to sign in
- On the login page, with your email and password, or with «Continue with Google».
- «Remember me» keeps the session open on that device, and «I forgot my password» helps you recover it.
- The same account can be opened on several devices. In the avatar menu, under «My account», on the «My sessions and API» tab, you'll see the «Active sessions»: each row is a session open on a device.
Install it as an app
- Android, and computers with Chrome or Edge: the «Install Owari Agro» notice appears; tap «Install» and it goes onto your home screen.
- iPhone or iPad with Safari: tap «Share» in the Safari bar and choose «Add to Home Screen».
Once installed, it opens like an app, without going through the browser. The screens are also stored on the device, so it opens fast and uses little data (how much data it uses).
In the field, without signal
- Each device has its own offline mode (a mirror copy of your data stored on the device, the «mirror table»): you need to sign in once with internet on each one before heading out to the field. We explain it in how it works offline.
- To sign back in without a network after logging out, using «Sign in offline», that device must have signed in with email and password; with Google you can't sign in offline if the session was lost.
- Offline mode needs a browser that allows saving data on the device. It doesn't work in Safari's private browsing, for example.
The same work on several devices
What you record on your phone shows up on your computer instantly if both are online, because changes are announced in real time to all of the farm's sessions. So you can log tasks out in the field and, from the computer, check the «Home» screen, settle payroll or download Excel or PDF reports. If someone else works with you too, see how to work as a team.
