1. A system for tracking location of a movable asset within a space, comprising:
a tag configured for attachment to the movable asset;
a plurality of anchors configured for measuring location data of the tag within the space, wherein the tag and the anchors each comprise a transceiver module operable to measure location using ultrawide band (UWB);
a listener in communication with a communications portal, the listener configured to receive location data from the anchors and to transmit the location data to the communications portal; and
wherein the communications portal comprises software for organizing the location data, software for creating a virtual barrier for the tag, and a screen for displaying the location data and the virtual barrier to a user, and
wherein the software for creating the virtual barrier, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to set a point of the virtual barrier at each location in which the user positions the tag and to display the points of the virtual barrier on the screen.
