Foresters Incorporated: DogTrack Radio Telemetry Software

DogTrack Telemetry Software
A whole new way to manage wildlife radio telemetry data
Developed by wildlife biologists with experience in radio telemetry, DogTrack is more than just another software package for analyzing telemetry data.  We designed DogTrack to minimize the time consuming data analysis and management needs often associated with radio telemetry research and provide a platform that helps the researcher standardize their telemetry field methods and virtually remove data entry errors, all while remaining simple and intuitive to operate. 

Click here to learn about the ways we think DogTrack will save you time and money while increasing the accuracy and quality of your data.

We also can customize DogTrack to your specific needs.  For example, if you have a current database structure that you would like to maintain, specific types of data that you collect that are not currently supported by DogTrack, or other specific needs, we may be able to build a custom version of DogTrack to meet your requirements.  Please contact us with your specific data needs and questions.

For Field Computers and Windows™
DogTrack is unique in that it features both a Windows™ office component and DOS™ field component.  Enter your data immediately in the field on rugged, handheld field computers and eliminate the need for paper data sheets that can be lost or destroyed.  Or take a laptop to the field and enter data directly into DogTrack Office.
