1. A method for tracking the location of objects in a tracking device environment, comprising:
displaying, within a tracking device application of a mobile device, a representation for each of a set of tracking devices within a geographic area, each tracking device associated with a task, the tasks associated with an order in which they must be completed;
in response to both receiving a signal identifying a tracking device of the set of tracking devices and receiving an indication that the task associated with the tracking device has been completed, providing an indication to the tracking server that the tracking device has been found and the task has been completed; and
in response to receiving an indication from the tracking server that each of the set of tracking devices has been found by the mobile device and that the tasks have been completed in order, displaying, by the mobile device, an indication in the tracking device application that the tasks have been completed in order.
