Every shipment tells a story. Behind each parcel lies a network of decisions, costs, and processes that can either strengthen a business or quietly erode its margins. Many companies accept shipping spend as a fixed, unavoidable part of operations, unaware of the inefficiencies hiding in plain sight. Misapplied contracts, billing discrepancies, lost packages, and manual administrative processes silently chip away at profits, creating missed opportunities and operational stress.

Sifted emerged with a mission to change that narrative. Based in Kansas City, the company is redefining logistics intelligence by giving shippers clarity, control, and actionable insights across 100 percent of their parcel spend. By combining deep expertise with advanced technology, Sifted enables businesses to turn what was once a costly, time-consuming administrative function into a strategic advantage.

Founded on the principles of innovation, focus, and a client-first mindset, Sifted has grown into a trusted partner for companies seeking to optimize logistics at every level. Its philosophy is simple yet profound: logistics decisions should be informed, precise, and proactive. When companies understand the full picture of their shipping operations, they can reduce costs, improve service, and regain control over their bottom line.

AI-Driven Insights

Sifted’s core strength lies in its SiftedAI platform. Leveraging artificial intelligence, it continuously monitors shipping spend, carrier performance, and operational anomalies, offering personalized recommendations without the need for constant manual oversight. Unlike conventional consulting models that provide periodic insights, SiftedAI operates in real time, alerting shippers when action is needed. This proactive intelligence allows businesses to stay ahead of issues, prevent overcharges, and capture opportunities that would otherwise go unnoticed.

The platform is designed to be intuitive and actionable. From time-in-transit predictions to spend summaries, it converts complex datasets into digestible insights. Businesses can now visualize accessorial charges, dimensional weight impacts, and cost per package, all at a glance. The Sifted Score, akin to a credit score for shipping, quantifies shipping health, providing businesses with a clear starting point to prioritize improvements and measure progress.

SiftedAI’s Copilot further amplifies operational intelligence. This agentic AI continuously overlays the platform, monitoring shipments, identifying risks, and uncovering potential savings even before shippers ask. It’s trained specifically for logistics, using company data safely and delivering precise, actionable results—not guesses.

Optimizing Networks and Operations

Sifted goes beyond monitoring to actively optimize shipping networks. Through its suite of modeling and simulation tools, businesses can evaluate warehouse locations, test service types, and assess packaging strategies. Network Optimization helps determine where distribution centers should be located for maximum efficiency, balancing cost and delivery speed. Service Type Optimization ensures the right level of service—ground, two-day, or overnight—is applied to each shipment, reducing unnecessary spend. Package Modeling predicts the impact of box sizes and packaging choices, helping companies prevent oversize or dimensional charges before they occur.

The platform also empowers contract optimization. With Sifted GRI Analysis and Contract Monitoring, businesses can simulate proposals, align contracts to their shipping profiles, and avoid unexpected rate increases or volume penalties. Contract Compliance and Carrier Management tools automatically detect billing errors, validate charges, and streamline claim filing for lost or damaged packages. This ensures businesses capture all recoverable funds while minimizing administrative burden.

Unified Accounting and Reporting

Financial clarity is critical to operational efficiency, and Sifted excels in this area. Automated Bill Pay allows businesses to process invoices without manual intervention, ensuring timely payments, maximizing discounts, and reducing errors. Shipment GL Coding simplifies complex accounting processes, consolidating data across multiple accounts and carriers to provide a clean, error-free ledger.

Sifted’s Reporting Studio and Databridge capabilities enable businesses to create customized visualizations and consolidate data across systems. From LTL shipping dashboards to GRI and peak season analysis, the platform delivers a comprehensive, real-time view of operations, helping companies make informed decisions with confidence.

Driving Margin and Brand Excellence

Beyond operational efficiency, Sifted supports strategic growth. The platform’s Margin Optimization tools track profitability across accounts, services, and brands, providing clear visibility into how operational decisions impact margins. Proposal Generators and brand-specific invoice solutions streamline commercial interactions, enabling companies to respond quickly to client demands without compromising confidentiality. Multi-brand companies can configure shipments, apply brand-specific rules, and export clean, client-ready reports effortlessly.

Sifted’s holistic approach integrates intelligence, automation, and actionable insights to create a logistics ecosystem where every decision is informed, every shipment is optimized, and every dollar is accounted for. Its commitment to continuous improvement and measurable results positions clients for sustainable success.

The Sifted Promise

Sifted believes logistics should empower, not burden. By turning opaque shipping processes into transparent, actionable intelligence, the company allows businesses to reclaim control, improve margins, and focus on growth. 

As companies scale, face seasonal pressures, or expand geographically, Sifted provides the clarity, confidence, and operational muscle to thrive. From AI-powered anomaly detection to contract optimization, network simulation, and financial automation, it delivers a comprehensive suite that transforms logistics from a back-office function into a strategic advantage.
