The Problem

Too many tools. Too many steps. Too much room for error.

Most farms juggle three or four pieces of kit just to get through a session. Arvo replaces that with one workflow you can run from a phone in your pocket.

Too many systems

Multiple devices and apps slowing down yard work — paper, scanners, spreadsheets, all out of sync.

Errors creeping in

Manual entry and disconnected tools mean wrong tags, missed weights, and rework after the fact.

Hard to onboard staff

New hands lose hours just figuring out which tool to pick up — never mind doing it right.

Data lag

What you capture in the yard isn't usable until someone gets back to a desk and uploads it.

The Solution

One simple app for all livestock recording tasks.

Arvo brings everything into a single workflow so you can capture, verify, and report while you work — not after.

Live Weight (LWT)

Capture weights in real time with clean session tracking — no double-keying, no lost rows.

Body Condition Score

Record BCS as you move through mobs. Preset scores, fast tap entry, full session history.

DNA Sampling

Lock the right sample to the right animal at the point of capture — no mismatches downstream.

Herd Reads

Scan and verify animal IDs instantly. Works with EID readers or manual entry — your call.

Tag Updates

Replace and update animal IDs accurately. Clean, structured fields — no re-typing into another system.

Mobile First Workflow

Built to run from a phone in the yard. No tablets, no laptops, no extra hardware required.

How It Works

You bring the data. We give you the tool.

Arvo is independent and provider-neutral. You stay in control of your records — we just make them easy to work with in the yard.

01

Bring your own records

Download your animal data from your existing provider — or email our support desk for a hand.

02

Import to Arvo

Drop your CSV into Arvo. EID, LID and Management Tag — verified and ready to use on-farm.

03

Work in the yards

Scan, weigh, score, sample. EID reader or manual entry — records build live as you work.

04

Export when you're done

Review your session and export the CSV yourself — share with your vet, livestock representative or office on your terms.

Why Farmers Use It

Built for the yard, not the office.

Every decision in Arvo started with a question: does this make the session faster, more accurate, or easier on the crew?

  • Accuracy first

    Right animal, right record, every time. EID and visual checks, locked at the point of capture.

  • Faster yard sessions

    Less stopping, less rework, more throughput. Crews move with the mob, not against it.

  • Easy onboarding

    New staff can use it with minimal training. Big buttons, plain words, no manual required.

  • Works both ways

    Use your existing EID reader or fall back to manual entry — dual mode, your call on the day.

  • Real-time reporting

    Data builds as you go. Reports are ready when the gate closes — not three days later.

Farm It Forward

Fund your rural club, school or community group.

Every session your members and families run through Arvo puts a slice back into your community — no bake sales required.
