1. A wireless tracker device, comprising:
a communication module configured to determine a location of the wireless tracker device;
a management module configured to reduce a frequency of location updates sent from the wireless tracker device when the location of the wireless tracker device has yet to reach a destination distance threshold;
wherein the destination distance threshold is measured between the location of the wireless tracker device and a shipment destination location;
an authentication module configured to determine whether the location of the wireless tracker device is within the destination distance threshold of the shipment destination when a code was received and whether the code was received within a time threshold of the wireless tracker device being located within the destination distance threshold of the shipment destination; and
wherein the communication module is configured to transmit a chain of custody notification to a computer server to indicate whether there was a break in the chain of custody.
