What Sifted does

Sifted is a privately held SaaS company that operates a cloud-native Logistics Intelligence platform, branded SiftedAI, for parcel shippers in the United States and Canada. The platform connects to 18+ carriers (including FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, OnTrac, and regional providers), automatically pulls every invoice, normalizes charges across carriers, and continuously monitors parcel spend. Core modules include Profile Monitoring (a weekly Sifted Score across six health categories plus always-on dashboards), Scenario Modeling (network, service, package, and contract simulations), Carrier Management (base audit, claims, contract compliance), Parcel Audit (holistic invoice and contract auditing), Accounting Automation (GL coding and bill pay), Reporting and Analytics (including GRI forecasting, LTL dashboard, and Databridge data transfer), 3PL Brand Management (white-label portals, margin optimization, pricing generator), and Monitoring via Alerts (SiftedAI Pulse monthly reports, custom alerts). SiftedAI Copilot, launched in Beta in 2026, is the agentic AI interface that monitors data in the background, answers natural-language queries about parcel operations, and surfaces proactive recommendations.

The platform is positioned against traditional parcel auditors by emphasizing continuous monitoring and upstream cost control rather than periodic sample audits, and against generic AI assistants by training on logistics-specific data and operating within a secured environment with SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. Served verticals include retail, manufacturing, healthcare, 3PLs, and private equity firms, with personas spanning Finance, Logistics/Operations, and Executives. Pricing is a volume-based annual subscription (custom quotes at the $200K-$250K+ annual parcel volume floor) with unlimited user seats and optional premium add-ons such as Databridge, Snowflake integration, and advanced contract compliance; the model is no-gain-share so customers retain 100% of recovered savings.

The current entity was formed in 2020 through the merger of VeriShip (founded 2005) and Sifted (founded 2017), executed under the Sifted brand with backing from growth equity investor Summit Partners, which had invested in VeriShip in 2018. The company is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, in the Kansas City metro area. Leadership includes CEO Shawn McCarrick (formerly VeriShip CEO), co-founders Adam Moulding (COO), Mark Chamberlain (CTO), and Caleb Nelson (CRO), plus a CFO and a team of VPs across Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Logistics Engineering, Client Success, and HR. GTM is sales-led with enterprise field sales, inside sales for mid-market, and website-driven demo requests for smaller accounts. Served logos include Fortive, Burberry, Sonos, Kohler, Stuller, Claire's, Cotton:On, Kendra Scott, Markforged, Beddy's, Chicago Music Exchange, and 50+ 3PLs aggregating thousands of sub-brands.

Regional players

• ShipBob: Tech-enabled 3PL for DTC and e-commerce brands with proprietary WMS, multi-carrier shipping, and analytics. Comparable to Sifted on 3PL parcel intelligence, though ShipBob is a U.S.-focused fulfillment operator rather than a multi-tenant software platform.

Direct peers

• EasyPost: Multi-carrier shipping API providing rates, labels, tracking, and address verification across 100+ carriers. Comparable to Sifted's carrier-integration layer but positioned as developer infrastructure rather than spend-intelligence analytics.
• Shippo: Multi-carrier shipping API and platform serving SMB and mid-market shippers across USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Closely comparable to Sifted on multi-carrier normalization, although Shippo skews lower in the volume tier and lacks Sifted's spend-optimization analytics depth.
• ShipStation: Multi-carrier shipping management platform owned by Auctane, used by tens of thousands of SMB and mid-market shippers. Comparable to Sifted on multi-carrier label generation and rate-shopping, though ShipStation is more execution-oriented and less focused on spend analytics and contract modeling.

Broad incumbents

• FourKites: Supply chain visibility and predictive ETA platform with parcel, LTL, and truckload coverage. Comparable to Sifted on multi-carrier data normalization and predictive analytics, but at a significantly larger enterprise and capital scale.
• Project44: Supply chain visibility platform covering parcel, LTL, and ocean across a large enterprise base. Comparable to Sifted on multi-modal visibility and carrier-data normalization, though project44 is far broader in scope and larger in scale than Sifted's parcel-first focus.
• Descartes Systems Group: Public logistics technology vendor with a broad portfolio spanning transportation management, parcel audit, customs, and global trade compliance. Comparable to Sifted through its parcel audit and rate-management offerings while operating across many adjacent logistics categories.

Emerging players

• Turvo: Cloud TMS with shipment execution, visibility, and collaboration tools for shippers and 3PLs. Comparable to Sifted on multi-modal optimization and 3PL workflows, though Turvo's strength is TMS execution versus Sifted's spend-intelligence and contract-modeling analytics.
• FreightPOP: Multi-modal TMS and rate-management platform covering parcel, LTL, truckload, and ocean with rate-shopping and audit capabilities. Comparable to Sifted on multi-carrier parcel spend optimization for mid-market shippers, though FreightPOP is broader and earlier in scale.
• ParcelPerform: Parcel experience and post-purchase intelligence platform serving global shippers and 3PLs. Comparable to Sifted on multi-carrier visibility and 3PL use cases, with greater geographic reach in EMEA and APAC but lighter analytics depth on cost optimization.
