I hope not be OT, but here [1] you can find an application similar to the one you are going to start. In that example, the tracking system is made with a Web Application but it can be expanded via Qgis, for the reason that the most import thing is to update the data from the receiver. Once you have the data updated at a certain interval, you can access them with anything (for examples a Qgis plugin that will reload data at a selected interval).
