Frequently asked questions about Owari Agro

Question 1

What software can I use to manage a coffee farm and other crops at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Owari Agro is farm management software built first for coffee: it comes with the tasks, stumping records and per-tree yield a coffee plantation needs. In the same account you can run plots of other crops, such as plantain, banana, avocado, citrus or corn, each with its own tasks and harvest.

Question 2

How do I set default values for the daily wage, price per kilo and meals on my farm?

Accepted Answer

In Owari Agro, the daily wage, the price per kilo and meals are set up in Farm details, from your user menu: there you enter the «Daily wage», the «Price per kilo» and, if your plan includes meals, whether the farm uses them and how much each one costs. When you log a task, the form suggests those values so you don't have to type them every time.

Question 3

How do I calculate the real profitability of each plot on my farm by comparing what it produces with what it costs?

Accepted Answer

Owari Agro gives you both halves of the math: for each plot, what it produces (kilos, kilos per tree and per hectare) and what it costs in labor; and by crop and for the whole farm, sales, expenses and profit. There is no single «profitability by plot» screen, because supply purchases and sales are recorded by crop, not by plot.

Question 4

How do I measure yield per tree and per unit of area on a coffee farm or any other farm?

Accepted Answer

In Owari Agro you record each plot's number of trees and planting spacing; with that, the system calculates the area in hectares and, with the kilos harvested during the year, shows on the Home screen the kilos per tree and the kilos per hectare of each plot.

Question 5

Can I draw my farm's plots on a map and calculate their area?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Owari Agro, under Plots > Geolocate, you draw each plot's outline on a satellite map, save it and download it as GeoJSON or KML. The area in hectares doesn't come from the drawing: the system calculates it from the plot's number of trees and planting spacing.

Question 6

How do I organize a farm that grows coffee together with plantain or other crops?

Accepted Answer

In Owari Agro each plot has a crop type, so a farm with coffee and plantain is organized into coffee plots and plantain plots. Tasks and harvests are recorded by plot, while purchases, sales and indicators are split by crop.

Question 7

How do I compare the last few days of coffee harvest across the different plots on my farm?

Accepted Answer

The Home screen in Owari Agro shows the kilos harvested today, the last 7 days against the 7 before, each plot's last harvest and the yield of every plot this year. To compare plot against plot over specific days, filter the «Per Kilogram» tab of the Task log by plot and date.

Question 8

How do I move my farm accounts from a notebook to my phone without being a tech expert?

Accepted Answer

With Owari Agro you move your notebook to your phone one record at a time, with short forms: a setup guide walks you through step by step, the task form suggests the values it already knows and the Owari Assistant lets you ask for things in your own words. No tech skills needed.

Question 9

How does Owari Agro work on farms without internet or in plots with no cell signal?

Accepted Answer

Owari Agro works without signal thanks to its offline mode: the first time you sign in with internet on a phone or computer, it stores on that device an encrypted mirror copy of your farm's data (the «mirror table») and the screens you have access to. From then on you can look up and record data in the field with no coverage, and whatever you save uploads by itself when the connection comes back.

Question 10

What is the data mirror table, and how does it keep what I record out in the field from getting lost?

Accepted Answer

The «mirror table» is the local copy used by Owari Agro's offline mode : an encrypted replica, stored on your phone or computer, of the farm data your user can see. What you record without signal is kept separately on the same device, in a queue, and only leaves it once the server confirms it was received.

Question 11

Do I have to upload my data manually when I get signal back, or does the system sync by itself?

Accepted Answer

The system syncs by itself: when the device gets its connection back, Owari Agro uploads what you saved without signal, in the right order, and tells you how many operations were synced. There are no files to export or buttons to press, and if something couldn't upload, it tries again later.

Question 12

Do my farm's currency format and default values stay the same when I work offline?

Accepted Answer

Your farm's currency format stays the same without internet: the currency, symbol position, separators and decimals are saved on the device and every amount is displayed the same way. The default values in «Farm details» can also be checked and changed without signal, but the task form only suggests them automatically when you're online.

Question 13

Does the app use a lot of mobile data or take long to open on slow rural connections?

Accepted Answer

After the first time, it uses very little. Owari Agro stores its screens on your phone, so it opens almost instantly every time, and from your farm's data it only downloads what changed; the heaviest download is the first one, when offline mode is installed.

Question 14

Can the manager on the farm and the owner in the city work at the same time without overwriting each other's data?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can work at the same time: when online, whatever one farm user records shows up instantly on the others' screens, without reloading. For that, each person needs their own user (Export or Hacienda Pro plans), and it's best that two people don't edit the same record at the same time, because the system doesn't detect that clash.

Question 15

Do I need to buy special equipment, or can I use Owari Agro on any phone and computer?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 16

Will the records I made offline be lost if my phone's battery dies or it turns off in the field?

Accepted Answer

They aren't lost. Every record you save without signal is written to the phone's memory before the screen shows it as saved, so it survives a dead battery, closing the app or turning the phone off, and it uploads by itself the next time you open Owari Agro with a connection.

Question 17

How does the artificial intelligence agent built into Owari Agro work?

Accepted Answer

The Owari Assistant is an artificial intelligence agent built into the app: you tap the bubble in the bottom right corner and ask it, by typing or by voice, to look up or record your farm's data. It acts as you, with your same permissions, and before saving any change it shows you what it's going to do and waits for your confirmation.

Question 18

Do all accounts include access and tokens to use the Owari Agro AI agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes: every Owari Agro plan comes with a weekly token allowance for the Owari Assistant, the artificial intelligence agent built into the app. The allowance renews every Monday, is shared by all of the farm's users and, when it runs out, the farm can keep going with purchased credit that never expires.

Question 19

What can I ask the Owari Agro AI agent to do in my farm's day-to-day work?

Accepted Answer

You can ask the Owari Assistant, in plain words and by text or voice, to look up your farm's data (kilos harvested, day wages, pending payroll, advances, meals, expenses, sales and fertilization) and to record, correct or delete tasks, advances, sales, expenses, employees, plots and other data, always with your confirmation before saving.

Question 20

Can I connect my farm's data to other MCP-compatible AI assistants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Owari Agro has an MCP connector (Model Context Protocol) with 65 farm tools, 17 for looking things up and 48 for recording, editing, deleting and payments, so the artificial intelligence assistant of your choice can look up and record data with your own account. Each user only sees the tools their role allows.

Question 21

Is it safe to use the AI agent with my farm's financial and operational data?

Accepted Answer

The Owari Assistant and the MCP connector act as the user using them, never with more power: they only see and change what that user's role allows, only on their farm, and before saving a change they show a preview and ask for confirmation. The key to the artificial intelligence service lives on Owari's server and never reaches the browser.

Question 22

Can a coffee grower or field worker with no technical experience use the AI agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Owari Assistant, Owari Agro's artificial intelligence agent, works through conversation, by typing or by voice, the way you'd talk to a person: you don't need to know the menus or anything about computers. Anyone with their own farm user in Owari Agro can use it.

Question 23

How do I ask the AI agent how much each plot is costing me or what my farm's profit is?

Accepted Answer

Ask in plain words, for example "how much did labor on the La Loma plot cost me this year?" or "what was the profit on coffee?": the Owari Assistant adds up on the server the labor for each plot, expenses by type, classification, supplier, month or crop, and the sales, expenses and profit of the farm or of a crop for the dates you give.

Question 24

Can I talk to the Owari Agro AI agent in my own language?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Owari Assistant, Owari Agro's artificial intelligence agent, answers in the language each user picks on the platform, from the seven available: Spanish, English, Portuguese, Italian, French, Chinese and Japanese. Voice dictation and reading answers aloud use that same language.

Question 25

What languages is Owari Agro available in for managing farms in different countries?

Accepted Answer

Owari Agro is available in seven languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, Italian, French, Chinese and Japanese. Each user picks theirs under «Language», and a farm from another country can sign up with its own phone number and ID document.

Question 26

Can I set my country's currency, the decimals and the units of measure on the platform?

Accepted Answer

Currency and decimals, yes; units of measure, no. In Farm details > «Currency and number format» you choose the currency, where the symbol goes, the thousands and decimal separators and how many decimals are shown; kilos, meters and hectares are fixed for every farm.

Question 27

How do I settle workers' pay by day wage, half day wage, kilo harvested or contract?

Accepted Answer

In Owari Agro every task is recorded with its pay type, by full day wage, half day wage or kilo, and its value is calculated; to pay, in Accounts payable you check the pending tasks, review each worker's breakdown with their advances and tap Pay. Contracts are recorded with their value, but this settlement doesn't add them in.

Question 28

How do I automatically deduct advances and record meals for my workers?

Accepted Answer

Advances are recorded in Advances and, when you settle with a worker in Accounts payable, the system suggests deducting them, oldest first and never more than what the worker is owed; you can adjust or remove each deduction. Meals aren't deducted from the worker: they're checked on each task and paid to whoever prepares the food.

Question 29

How can I know from another city exactly how much money I need to pay my workers this weekend?

Accepted Answer

Sign in to Owari Agro from your phone or computer, with internet, and open Accounts payable: the «Total to pay» card adds up all the unpaid tasks your manager recorded. That total doesn't subtract advances; you see each worker's exact net amount when you prepare their settlement or by asking the Owari Assistant.

Question 30

How do I track the agronomist's fertilization plan and compare projected costs with what was actually applied?

Accepted Answer

In Fertilization > «Fertilization plan» you build a crop's plan for a year: the fertilizer application cycles, the formulas with their fertilizers and the dose per tree for each plot, and the system projects the cost per plot, per cycle and for the year. What's applied in the field is recorded in «Traceability»; there's no screen that puts the projected and the actual side by side, but the Owari Assistant can compare them for you.

Question 31

How do I record harvest sales and supply purchases to know my farm's real profit?

Accepted Answer

Record each sale in Sales and each purchase in Purchases and expenses; with that, in Home > «Finance» you see the farm's sales, expenses (purchases plus labor from tasks) and profit for the year, and a month-by-month comparison by crop. These modules are available from the Harvest plan up.

Question 32

Can I download task, payroll, expense and production reports in Excel and PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Owari Agro list has a Download button to get it as a PDF or Excel file, and the Reports screen brings together the farm's reports with a date range. Each user only downloads what their role lets them see, and always only from their own farm.

Question 33

How do Owari Agro plans adapt to the number of workers and plots on my farm?

Accepted Answer

Owari Agro has four plans, Seed, Harvest, Export and Hacienda Pro, which differ in how many active workers, users and plots the farm can have: from 5 workers, 1 user and 3 plots on Seed up to 100 workers, 3 users and 50 plots on Hacienda Pro. Seed covers recording tasks and advances; the other three include every feature.

Question 34

How does the 30-day free trial work, and do I need to enter a credit card to get started?

Accepted Answer

The Owari Agro free trial lasts 30 days on the plan you choose, with that plan's limits, and you don't need a credit card or any other payment details to start. Nothing is charged automatically when it ends: you decide whether to pay for the plan to keep using it.

Question 35

Do you charge automatically, or how does payment work when I renew my account?

Accepted Answer

Owari Agro doesn't charge automatically: no recurring billing is turned on and your card details aren't stored. You decide each renewal and pay for it online, on the payment page the app takes you to, for the plan you choose.

Question 36

Is my farm's information deleted if the trial month or my plan ends and I don't pay right away?

Accepted Answer

Your farm's information isn't deleted right away, but it isn't kept forever either. When the trial or plan expires unpaid, the account is suspended; under the Terms and Conditions, for the 30 days after the suspension the information can only be viewed or downloaded, and once that period is over Owari deletes it.

Question 37

Can I change plans whenever I want if I hire more workers during harvest season?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can change plans whenever you need to from "Plan status" > "Change plan": you choose the new plan and pay for it online. The time you had left on the last plan you paid for isn't lost, because it's turned into days on the new plan.

Question 38

What module differences are there between the Seed plan and the Harvest, Export and Hacienda Pro plans?

Accepted Answer

The difference between Seed and the other plans comes down to four records: contracts, meals, sales, and purchases and expenses, which Seed doesn't include and Harvest, Export and Hacienda Pro do. Tasks and advances are on every plan; between Harvest, Export and Hacienda Pro, only the number of workers, users and plots changes.

Question 39

How do I control what each user on the farm can see, create, edit or delete?

Accepted Answer

In Owari Agro, what each user can do is set by their role: which pages they can open and, in each module, whether they can create, edit or delete records. The farm assigns each user's role in "Users and permissions", its data is isolated from every other farm's, and every addition, edit or deletion is logged with the date, the author and the previous data.

Question 40

How does Owari Agro work if I manage several farms or need more than 100 workers?

Accepted Answer

In Owari Agro each farm is an independent account, with its data isolated from the others: if you manage several farms, you open one account per farm, each with its own email and its own plan. For more than 100 active workers, which is the Hacienda Pro cap, or for special needs, write to the sales team at info@owariagro.com.
