Owner Guide

As a farm owner, your role in Arlo focuses on strategic oversight: ensuring operations progress as planned, identifying significant deviations, and making high-level decisions.


  • Review key metrics regularly
  • Monitor significant variances
  • Approve budgets and important decisions
  • Ensure team uses the platform correctly
  • Log daily operational data
  • Configure sanitation forms

Those tasks belong to administrators and supervisors.
