How it worksThe job description
Six jobs Arlo is learning. In the order you will feel them.
Processing is live today. Everything below carries an honest status tag, and each one opens the early-access list for that job.
- In development
Job 1 · First to ship
Post every payment to your ledger
Every card, link, plan, and ACH payment written back to the practice management system, so the day sheet reconciles itself. Open Dental first.
- In development
Job 2 · Following write-back
Run the morning brief
What was collected, what posted, what failed, and what needs your OK, pushed every morning by email and text before the first patient is seated.
- In development
Job 3 · Following the brief
Collect patient balances
The moment a patient portion is settled, Arlo drafts the exact-balance pay-link with a plain-language explanation, queued for your approval. Nothing sends until you say so.
- Coming 2026
Job 4 · 2026
Run your membership program
In-house membership plans billed on your own processing rails, with automatic renewals, failed-payment retries, and ledger write-back. No separate membership software.
- Coming 2027
Job 5 · 2027
Manage ortho contracts
Contract-native recurring billing: down payments, monthly schedules, and responsible-party handling, tracked against the contract instead of a loose card-on-file.
- Coming 2027
Job 6 · 2027
Watch your numbers
Collection mix, dual pricing adoption, fee savings, and aging balances, across every location for groups. Arlo reports it; you do not build the spreadsheet.
Coming 2026
Your membership program, run by Arlo.
Membership plans are the best answer to shrinking PPO reimbursement. But today, practices bolt on standalone membership software, pay its subscription on top of processing fees, and still reconcile by hand, because the membership tool, the processor, and the practice management system do not talk to each other.
Standalone tools
Another software bill, outside your payments stack, reconciled by hand.
