Tracks Software

Tracks Software makes collection management software that zoos and aquariums use to keep animal records. Its approach gives keepers, vets, curators and other staff a shared view of the same animal data, with access set by role, so departments can work from one picture of the collection. The product is built in Colorado.

What Tracks Software offers

• Tracks — the main package, licensed each year and including every module and update, as many user accounts as needed, basic support and an invitation to the user conference.
• Care modules — welfare, enrichment, training, nutrition, water quality and ambassador animal scheduling.
• Records modules — transactions, collection planning, permits, dive log and biofacts.
• Per-module licences — facilities that keep inventory in another system, such as Species360, can license single modules.
• Hosted Tracks — a hosted option so a facility need not run its own servers.
• Related tools — ZooMonitor for behaviour monitoring and the AnimalDataSharing platform.
