Is there any software that tracks interdependencies between project items?
Every kind of project management software that allows timelines I've tried does not allow to make an interdependecy between two project items. Is there one that does?

For example, I have two items:

1) Bring concrete to the construction site 17-19 November 2018

2) Pour concrete 20-25 November 2018

and if 1) is delayed, I would like 2) to be automatically moved in time as well.

But every piece of software I tried (Dropbox Paper Timeline, Roadmunk etc.) just bumps 2) into a separate timeline without moving it in time.

But I cannot start pouring concrete if it's not on the construction site! Is this really such an uncommon use case that it gets ignored by every piece of software I found?

This shouldn't be a difficult project to implement, I'm just not sure about what kind of UI-controls you'd need.

If step 1 is delayed to 26 November how should the step 2 be re-scheduled? It kinda depends on the work force's availability. Or should it be highlighted somehow, like please re-schedule this with the supplier?

I think the term you’re looking for is “gantt chart”.
