Put parcel intelligence to work
- Ask shipping data questions directly. SiftedAI lets teams investigate parcel spend in plain language, from changes in cost per package to carrier performance and surcharge increases. Answers are grounded in the shipper’s actual normalized data, giving teams another way to investigate what’s happening without manual reporting.
- Combine alerts with agentic analysis. Intelligent Audit’s DeepDetectAI provides real-time anomaly detection and proactive alerts across transportation data. Sifted pairs always-on parcel monitoring with an agentic AI that can analyze those types of changes, explain what’s driving costs, and help users determine what to do next.
- Get intelligence specialized around parcel. SiftedAI is trained specifically for parcel. This includes carrier pricing models and contract mechanics, which gives parcel-focused teams more intelligence about the nuances of their primary shipping operation.
Turn parcel insights into action
- Test operational changes against your actual shipping profile. Both platforms offer modeling capabilities. Sifted provides a parcel-focused virtual sandbox for evaluating distribution center changes, carrier proposals, service levels, and package dimensions against actual shipment data, including both cost and transit impact.
- Connect parcel intelligence with financial workflows. Sifted combines parcel monitoring and AI with automated GL coding, invoice reconciliation, carrier bill pay, carrier management, and reporting. This keeps the financial side of parcel management connected to the same platform teams use to understand and optimize shipping performance.
- Move from finding an issue to understanding what to do next. SiftedAI doesn’t just give teams another dashboard to review. Users can ask follow-up questions about their parcel data, investigate what’s driving a change, and get actionable guidance grounded in their own shipping profile.
