Tamarixia Tracker is the easy way to track and report your wasp releases

The full story of Tamarixia Tracker

We independently designed Tamarixia Tracker to help us in the state wasp release program

What is Tamarixia Tracker?

As told in our full story, we started working with the Dundee Biological Control Laboratory to release Tamarixia wasps. We soon realized we'd have a lot of forms on our hands. So, our company created Tamarixia Tracker, an app for managing vital wasp data. We designed the app for our own internal use, but it’s working well enough that others may benefit from it. So, we decided to offer it to others in the Tamarixia Release Program.

How does Tamarixia Tracker help?

Simplifies filling out release forms...

Instead of working with a lot of report forms, simply enter data into Tamarixia Tracker and let the app organize your reports.
iPhone and iPad versions...

Sometimes, it's better to record real-time data in the field to save time back at the office. The app runs natively on both iPhone and iPad within FileMaker Go. You can sync mobile data back to the desktop version.
Makes reporting easy...

Much of the work on reporting data is organizing reports before sending them to the lab. When used with Acrobat PDF software, simply combine PDFs of your release data and summary reports into a single file to make it all easier to manage.

Our Philosophy

Psyllid control is complicated. We want to simplify it. One way to do that is with easy-to-use citrus apps for organizing and sharing data. In this case, we designed an app to help us with our Tamarixia Release Program. We needed a quick way to provide the state with vital wasp release data. (Personally, we think all forms in the citrus industry should be this easy to use, but that's another story for another day.)

Data sharing is important to success

"Tamarixia Tracker helps us all work together by sharing data and tracking wasps out in the wild. This will lead to a faster, better understanding of how they're working for us." -Steven Rogers

Tamarixia Tracker is free, so don't expect miracles. It's a straightforward app that does its job. We ask only that you provide feedback to us using the contact form at the top of this page when you encounter issues or have an idea on how to make it better.

How do I get support?

We don't provide any support other than occasional updates, nor do we offer troubleshooting on individual computers. However, we test before each version is released. Your best option for support is to provide comments and feedback to us and we'll do our best to work them into the next version of the app. The screencast shows you how to use the main parts of the program.

What's your license agreement?

What are my system requirements?

Currently, the software runs on both Mac and Windows with FileMaker installed. It's tested on FileMaker v.13 and we're looking for folks to beta test on FileMaker back to v.11. We do have a standalone app for Mac users (Mavericks compatible). If there's sufficient interest, we may produce a standalone app for Windows or consider scaling a web application to make it available to everyone.
