Purpose

1.1. Enable fully compliant, real-time, and auditable recordkeeping for all animal care activities—feeding, watering, health checks, waste management, and incident reporting per hospitality and farm-stay regulations.
1.2. Centralize log collection, timestamping, staff accountability, and cross-verification for regular regulatory audits and insurance validation.
1.3. Integrate multi-location data, automate notifications for missing logs, generate daily compliance summaries, and archive records for statutory retention.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. On scheduled event (e.g., feeding time, health check, cleaning).
2.2. On submission from staff via mobile/web form, SMS, or voice input.
2.3. When a regulatory audit window approaches or is complete.
2.4. Upon anomaly detection (missed care, abnormal environmental readings).
