1. A system, comprising:

  • at least one server computing device in communication with at least one tracking device, the at least one tracking device comprising a plurality of layers combined to form the at least one tracking device, the plurality of layers comprising at least;

    a first layer comprising a localization system and a communication system, the localization system being configured to obtain location data to localize the at least one tracking device via a global positioning system (GPS), the communication system being configured to obtain the location data to localize the at least one tracking device via an alternative localization strategy responsive to the localization system being unable to obtain the location data via GPS;

    a second layer comprising an antenna, the localization system or the communication system being configured to communicate via the antenna; and

    a third layer comprising a power source configured to provide power to the localization system and the communication system; and

    at least one application executable in the at least one server computing device, the at least one application comprising;

    logic that determines a location of the at least one tracking device based at least in part on the location data;

    logic that encodes the location of the at least one tracking device in a user interface; and

    logic that transmits the user interface to a client device for rendering in a display.
