Control tower
Your Freight Control Tower, Powered by Orbit
Warp is not a bolt on visibility tool. Warp is the carrier network and the control tower in one platform. You do not need to integrate a separate visibility vendor because the visibility is built into the execution layer. Every shipment tracked. Every exception detected. Every response automated.

What a freight control tower gives you
Enterprise shippers and 3PLs search for a freight control tower because they need one thing: a single system that sees everything, catches problems early, and acts on them automatically. That is exactly what Warp delivers. The Warp driver app, our AI backbone Orbit, and the webhook infrastructure work together as a control tower that monitors your freight from pickup to proof of delivery. Learn the fundamentals in our guide to what is a freight control tower.
Four pillars of freight control
Visibility
Every shipment, every status, one view.
The Warp driver app gives you live GPS tracking, scan in and scan out events, proof of delivery photos, and electronic signatures on every shipment. Line haul trucks carry ELD integrations for continuous location data. No check calls. No manual updates. Every event flows into a single view of your freight operations.
Exception detection
Problems flagged before your team notices.
Our AI backbone, Orbit, monitors every load for late pickups, late departures, missed scans, route deviations, temperature deviations, dwell anomalies, speed anomalies, unplanned stops, and hours of service issues. Orbit does not wait for your team to chase problems. It flags them the moment they appear.
Automated response
AI agents that act, not just alert.
When Orbit detects an exception, it fires a webhook event. Your AI agents or automated systems can receive that event and take action: rebook a shipment, notify your customer, escalate to a human, or adjust downstream operations. The control tower does not just show you problems. It solves them.
Single view
All your freight operations in one place.
Whether you ship LTL through Warp cross docks, FTL on dedicated lanes, or final mile via cargo van and box truck, every shipment lives in one system. One dashboard, one API, one set of webhooks. No fragmented visibility across multiple carriers and platforms.
How Orbit monitors your freight
Our AI backbone, Orbit, runs automated quality monitoring on every load in the Warp network. It does not wait for your operations team to spot problems. It watches every signal from the Warp driver app and ELD integrations and flags exceptions the moment they appear. Here is what Orbit monitors on every shipment:
Late pickup
Driver has not arrived within the pickup window
Late departure
Vehicle has not departed origin within expected timeframe
Missed scan
Expected scan event did not fire at a checkpoint
Route deviation
Vehicle has left the expected route corridor
Temperature deviation
Reefer unit reading outside acceptable range
Dwell anomaly
Vehicle stationary longer than expected at a non scheduled stop
Speed anomaly
Vehicle moving significantly faster or slower than expected
Unplanned stop
Vehicle stopped at a location not on the route plan
Hours of service
Driver approaching or exceeding HOS limits
How alerts reach your team
When Orbit flags an exception, Warp fires a webhook event with the full context: shipment ID, exception type, timestamp, GPS coordinates, and suggested action. Your systems receive this event in real time. There are three ways to consume control tower alerts:
Webhook to your TMS
Direct integration with your existing systems.
Register webhook URLs in your Warp dashboard. Exception events flow directly into your TMS, ERP, or custom operations platform. Your team sees the alert in the system they already use.
AI agent subscription
Autonomous exception handling.
Your AI agents subscribe to webhook events and handle routine exceptions automatically. Rebook a missed pickup. Notify a customer about a delay. Escalate a temperature deviation to your quality team. No human intervention required for standard responses.
Warp dashboard
Visual command center for your operations team.
The Warp dashboard shows every shipment status, every exception, and every alert in one view. Your team can drill into individual shipments, see the full event history, and take manual action when needed.
Why Warp is different from bolt on visibility tools
Most freight visibility platforms are separate systems that sit on top of your carrier relationships. They require integrations with every carrier, and the data quality depends on each carrier's willingness to share. That creates gaps, delays, and blind spots. What you need is freight observability built into the execution layer.
Warp is different because Warp is the carrier network. Every local 3rd party carrier in the Warp network uses the Warp driver app. That means every pickup scan, every GPS ping, every delivery photo, and every signature flows through Warp's infrastructure automatically. There is no separate integration to build. There are no data gaps to manage. The visibility is not a layer on top of execution. The visibility is the execution.
This is why companies using Warp as their control tower see 30% faster disruption recovery. When you own the carrier dispatch and the visibility layer, you can detect a problem and fix it in the same system. Rebook a carrier in seconds. Reroute through a different cross dock. Dispatch a backup vehicle from the same network. No phone calls to a separate carrier. No waiting for a visibility vendor to update their feed. One system, one response. Pair the control tower with AI freight exception management for fully automated recovery.
What the control tower covers
LTL shipments
Cross dock visibility from pickup to delivery.
Every pallet scanned in and scanned out at Warp cross dock facilities. Live GPS on local 3rd party carriers via the driver app. ELD integrations on all line haul trucks for continuous location data.
Truckload
Full visibility on dedicated lanes.
ELD integrations on every truckload shipment provide continuous location data, hours of service status, and route compliance. No check calls. No manual tracking. Orbit monitors for deviations automatically.
Final mile
Box truck and cargo van tracking.
Local 3rd party carriers on the Warp driver app provide live GPS, proof of delivery photos, and electronic signatures. Every delivery confirmed in real time through the control tower.
Results from AI powered control towers
Companies that deploy AI powered freight control towers consistently report measurable improvements across three core metrics. These results come from detecting problems earlier, automating the initial response, and eliminating the manual work of chasing carriers for status updates.
- -30% faster disruption recovery. When the system detects a late pickup or route deviation, it fires an alert and can trigger an automated rebook within minutes instead of hours.
- -20% improvement in on time delivery. Proactive exception handling catches problems while there is still time to fix them, not after the delivery window has passed.
- -15% lower logistics costs. Automated responses, fewer emergency shipments, and better carrier utilization across the network reduce total cost.
Frequently asked questions
What is a freight control tower?
A freight control tower is a centralized platform that gives you real time visibility, exception detection, and automated response across every shipment. Warp combines the carrier network and the control tower into one platform so you do not need a separate visibility tool.
How does Warp detect exceptions before my team does?
Our AI backbone, Orbit, continuously monitors every shipment for late pickups, missed scans, route deviations, temperature deviations, and dwell anomalies. Orbit flags exceptions automatically and can trigger webhook events so your systems or AI agents take action immediately.
Do I need to integrate a separate visibility platform?
No. Warp is the carrier network and the control tower. Visibility is built into the execution layer through the Warp driver app, which provides live GPS, scan events, proof of delivery, and e signatures on every shipment.
What kind of results do companies see with an AI control tower?
Companies using AI powered control towers see 30% faster disruption recovery, 20% improvement in on time delivery, and 15% lower logistics costs. These gains come from detecting problems earlier and automating the response.
How do alerts from the control tower reach my team?
Warp pushes webhook events for every status change and exception. Your TMS, ERP, Slack, email, or AI agents can subscribe to these events and take action automatically. You can also monitor everything through the Warp dashboard.
