1. A system comprising:

  • a mobile device, the mobile device including;

    a global positioning system (GPS) receiver,a communication device,a data reader,a user interface,a memory, anda processor;

    a secure network having an authentication server, the secure network in communication with the mobile device via a mobile network; and

    a secure item database server in selective communication with the mobile device via the secure network based on authenticating by the authentication server,wherein the memory of the mobile device includes instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the mobile device to;

    determine a current geographic location of the mobile device in response to satellite broadcasts received by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver of the mobile device;

    programmatically transmit, by the communication device, the current geographic location to a location service hosted on a location server in communication with the mobile device via the mobile network;

    receive, from the location service, an identification of a plurality of geographic locations of interest, the geographic locations of interest being identified based, at least in part, on a distance between the current geographic location and the geographic locations of interest;

    receive, via a first firewall, user-identifying information from the mobile device;

    programmatically transmit, via a secure network, the user-identifying information to a threat management server;

    in response to a determination that the user-identifying information is not a threat programmatically transmit, via a second firewall, the user-identifying information to an authentication server of the secure network for authentication;

    in response to receiving an authentication, transmit a message to the mobile device authorizing relocation;

    detect, via the GPS receiver, a relocation of the mobile device from the current geographic location to a selected one of the geographic locations of interest,acquire, by the data reader, item-descriptive data associated with an item at the selected one of the geographic locations of interest,receive, from the user interface, item-property data associated with the item at the selected one of the geographic locations of interest,connect the mobile device to the secure network by transmitting, from the communication device and via the mobile network, user-identifying information to the security authentication server of the secure network through the first firewall and the second firewalls,programmatically transmit, via the secure network and in response to receiving an authentication from the authentication server, the item-descriptive data to the secure item database server through the first firewall and the second firewall, wherein a load balancer transmits the item-descriptive data to at least one of a plurality of geographically distributed servers and the secure item database server,receive, from the secure item database server in response to the transmission of the item-descriptive data, (i) an identification of a corresponding item located at a different geographic location from the selected one of the geographic locations of interest, and (ii) corresponding item-property data associated with the corresponding item at the different geographic location; and

    programmatically determine a difference between the item-property data and the corresponding item-property data, the difference effecting a change in corresponding item-property data in the secure item database server.
