SMS status notifications
SMS keeps receivers and ops aligned when a run is en route, delayed, or needs a quick confirmation. PorterChain uses SMS as part of capacity execution — status and exceptions on live shipments — not as a standalone messaging SKU.
What SMS is for
Typical uses: shareable status prompts, ETA updates when a window slips, and exception alerts when access fails or a customer is not available. Messages point back to tracking and the shipment record so everyone works from one story.
Tied to the capacity run
Notifications follow the vehicle-and-driver assignment that is actually executing. When ops reassigns capacity, status can update with the same shipment — not a disconnected text thread that ops never sees.
What we do not promise
We do not sell SMS marketing campaigns or guarantee delivery of every carrier message in every region. Notification options are confirmed during onboarding for your program tier and channels.
