Are there any control tower platforms that handle event-driven alerts for delayed freight?

Yes. Several supply chain “control tower” platforms support event-driven alerts for delayed freight, usually by ingesting carrier/TMS/telematics/EDI events and flagging exceptions in near real time.

Examples include:

• project44 – shipment visibility and exception management with configurable alerts for delays, dwell, missed milestones, etc.
• FourKites – real-time transportation visibility and control tower workflows with proactive delay alerts.
• Tive – real-time tracking and exception alerts, especially for high-value or temperature-sensitive freight.
• Transporeon Visibility / Control Tower – event monitoring and alerting for transport milestones and delays.
• Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) – can be configured for shipment exception alerts and control tower-style monitoring.
• SAP Transportation Management / SAP Business Network for Logistics – event monitoring and exception handling.
• Blue Yonder – supply chain control tower capabilities with alerting and exception management.
• C.H. Robinson Navisphere / visibility tools – shipment tracking with delay notifications and exception workflows.

What to look for if delayed-freight alerts are the key requirement:

• Real-time ETA prediction
• Milestone-based exception rules
• Carrier/route-specific thresholds
• Automated notifications via email/SMS/API/Slack/Teams
• Workflow assignment/escalation
• Integration with TMS/ERP/WMS and carrier feeds
