VodaTrak Software
VodaTrak is Voda IQ’s Android based data management software built specifically for fisheries and wildlife research. Designed for use in the field, hatchery, and laboratory, VodaTrak streamlines PIT tag data collection while giving researchers full control over how their data is captured, stored, and accessed.
Built for the Field
VodaTrak runs on Android devices, making it easy to deploy on tablets and mobile hardware commonly used in research environments, and even your mobile phone. The interface is intuitive and fast, allowing researchers and technicians to focus on sampling rather than software.
Export Data
Data can be exported, saved on the internal memory and sent automatically by email for safe storage.
Fully Customizable Fields
Every study is different. VodaTrak allows users to customize data fields to match project specific needs. Capture standard PIT tag information alongside additional biological, environmental, or experimental data without forcing your workflow into a rigid template. The possibility to create multiple choice data fields speeds up the workflow even more.
Compatible with Voda IQ Hardware
VodaTrak integrates seamlessly with the Voda IQ Veloce Measuring Board, as well as the R8BT and RT600 readers, allowing PIT tag detections and length measurements to be captured digitally and associated directly with each individual record. This reduces manual data entry, improves accuracy, and increases efficiency during high volume field and hatchery operations. Software also allows to connect a scale and a bar code reader by BLE for data collection.
Designed for Researchers
VodaTrak was developed by fisheries professionals who understand the realities of fieldwork. It is built to be reliable, flexible, and scalable so your data collection system can grow with your research.
