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.
What happens the first time
You sign in with internet and, at the bottom left, the «Installing offline mode» notice appears with the progress of the data and the screens. Wait until it finishes, on wifi if you can, before heading out to the field. The copy only includes what your user can see, only from your farm, and it updates itself every time you open the app with signal.
What you can do without signal
- Look up plots, employees, task records, advances, contracts, sales, purchases and expenses, customers, suppliers and products, depending on what your plan includes.
- See the «Home» screen with its indicators, calculated on the device from the local copy.
- Record the day's work: a task, an advance, a new employee. Each record shows up in its table with the «Waiting for connection» badge.
- Fix or delete anything that hasn't uploaded yet.
- Sign back in with «Sign in offline» and your password, even if you logged out.
Meanwhile, a wifi icon blinks in the top bar.
What needs internet
- The Owari Assistant, the built-in artificial intelligence agent, and the MCP connector.
- «Accounts payable» and «Paid», that is, settling and paying payroll.
- Renew or change your plan.
- Upload or open photos and documents.
- Downloading reports in Excel or PDF, because the server prepares them.
- Editing a task record or a purchase that's already saved.
Also, offline, the task form doesn't suggest the daily wage or the price per kilo: you have to type them in.
Details so there are no surprises
- If your session is still open, the app opens straight away without signal. «Sign in offline» only works on a device where you've already signed in with your email and password while online; if you sign in with Google, you need a connection if your session ends.
- That offline sign-in lasts until you close the app, for up to 12 hours; after that you type your password again.
- If the device goes more than 30 days without connecting, the lookup copy expires and is downloaded again once you're online. Anything waiting to upload is not deleted.
