1. A system, comprising:
an item in transit that comprises or is located in proximity to a sensor;
at least one processor; and
storage media storing program instructions, which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform one or more operations, comprising:
receiving, by a host device over a network, environmental data collected by the sensor while the item is in transit, the environmental data including real-time location data obtained via the sensor;
identifying, by the host device, contextual data that comprises at least one of a phase of the item in transit, a risk level of the item in transit, an on-track notice of the item in transit, a notification associated with the item in transit, or a comment associated with the item in transit;
identifying, by the host device, a party associated with the item and a level of access rights associated with the party;
identifying, by the host device, an accessible portion of the environmental data and contextual data by obfuscating one or more elements of the received environmental data based on the access rights of the party;
providing, by a user interface for the party, the accessible portion of the environmental and contextual data together as elements in an information feed to the party;
determining, by the host device and based on the received environmental data, that the item has reached a destination;
providing, by the user interface, at least a portion of the obfuscated environmental data collected by the sensor while the item was in transit to the party; and
deactivating, by the host device, the sensor based on the determination that the item has reached the destination.
