Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a data audit system to generate and cause display of a tracking interface at a client device, wherein the tracking interface is configured to facilitate the visualization of tracking data retrieved from multiple sources. The audit system is configured to access a data source to retrieve tracking data that includes an associated asset identifier that identifies a subject of the tracking data, to link the retrieved tracking data to a data object at a database of the audit system based on the asset identifier, and to generate and cause display of a visualization of the tracking data within a tracking interface.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

one or more processors of a machine; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the one or more processors, causes the machine to perform operations comprising;

accessing a first database to retrieve tracking data that describes geographic locations of an asset, the tracking data including an asset identifier;

storing the tracking data to a data object associated with the asset identifier, the data object being stored within a second database;

causing display of a tracking interface that includes a graphical window;

receiving a selection of the graphical window from a client device;

determining a pattern within the tracking data associated with the asset identifier, the pattern including a set of data points indicating associations with data objects in the second database;

identifying an anomalous data point from the pattern by determining the anomalous data point corresponds to another asset identifier of another data object that is outside the pattern; and

causing display of a map visualization of the tracking data associated with the asset identifier in response to receiving the selection of the graphical window, the anomalous data point being visually distinguished from the remaining tracking data in the visualization.

2. The system of claim 1, the operations further comprising:

linking, in the second database, the tracking data of the data object to the another data object.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the anomalous data point is visually distinguished from the remaining set of tracking data in the map visualization using at least one of:

different colors, different graphical elements.

4. The system of claim 1, the operations further comprising:

accessing the first database to retrieve additional tracking data that describes additional geographic locations of another asset, the additional tracking data including the another asset identifier.

5. The system of claim 4, the operations further comprising:

storing, in the second database, the additional tracking data as part of the another data object identified by the another asset identifier.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein displaying the map visualization includes overlaying the tracking data on the additional tracking data.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the map visualization visually distinguishes newer data points from older data points in the tracking data.

8. A method comprising:

accessing a first database to retrieve tracking data that describes geographic locations of an asset, the tracking data including an asset identifier;

storing the tracking data to a data object associated with the asset identifier, the data object being stored within a second database;

causing display of a tracking interface that includes a graphical window;

receiving a selection of the graphical window from a client device;

determining a pattern within the tracking data associated with the asset identifier, the pattern including a set of data points indicating associations with data objects in the second database;

identifying an anomalous data point from the pattern by determining the anomalous data point corresponds to another asset identifier of another data object that is outside the pattern; and

causing display of a map visualization of the tracking data associated with the asset identifier in response to receiving the selection of the graphical window, the anomalous data point being visually distinguished from the remaining tracking data in the visualization.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

linking, in the second database, the tracking data of the data object to the another data object.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the anomalous data point is visually distinguished from the remaining set of tracking data in the map visualization using at least one of:

different colors, different graphical elements.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

accessing the first database to retrieve additional tracking data that describes additional geographic locations of another asset, the additional tracking data including the another asset identifier.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

storing, in the second database, the additional tracking data as part of the another data object identified by the another asset identifier.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein displaying the map visualization includes overlaying the tracking data on the additional tracking data.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the map visualization visually distinguishes newer data points from older data points in the tracking data.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage device embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

accessing a first database to retrieve tracking data that describes geographic locations of an asset, the tracking data including an asset identifier;

storing the tracking data to a data object associated with the asset identifier, the data object being stored within a second database;

causing display of a tracking interface that includes a graphical window;

receiving a selection of the graphical window from a client device;

determining a pattern within the tracking data associated with the asset identifier, the pattern including a set of data points indicating associations with data objects in the second database;

identifying an anomalous data point from the pattern by determining the anomalous data point corresponds to another asset identifier of another data object that is outside the pattern; and

causing display of a map visualization of the tracking data associated with the asset identifier in response to receiving the selection of the graphical window, the anomalous data point being visually distinguished from the remaining tracking data in the visualization.

16. The machine-readable storage device of claim 15, further comprising:

linking, in the second database, the tracking data of the data object to the another data object.

17. The machine-readable storage device of claim 15, wherein the anomalous data point is visually distinguished from the remaining set of tracking data in the map visualization using at least one of:

different colors, different graphical elements.

18. The machine-readable storage device of claim 15, further comprising:

accessing the first database to retrieve additional tracking data that describes additional geographic locations of another asset, the additional tracking data including the another asset identifier.

19. The machine-readable storage device of claim 18, further comprising:

storing, in the second database, the additional tracking data as part of the another data object identified by the another asset identifier.

20. The machine-readable storage device of claim 18, wherein displaying the map visualization includes overlaying the tracking data on the additional tracking data.
