SiftedAI Introduces Action Library for Automatic Parcel Cost Monitoring

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 12, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Sifted, a leading logistics intelligence company, has introduced a new feature in its SiftedAI platform that automates parcel cost monitoring. The Action Library, a collection of pre-made templates, enables shippers to track various aspects of their parcel data without waiting for the next report.

With the Action Library, users can set up any question about their parcel data to run automatically and receive notifications when a result needs attention. This feature transforms parcel cost monitoring from a reactive process to an automatic one, ensuring that any cost changes are identified promptly.

Shawn McCarrick, CEO of Sifted, emphasized the importance of continuous monitoring in the logistics industry.

The Action Library offers five pre-made templates for users to choose from, covering areas such as shipping costs, shipment details, billing accuracy, carrier performance, and carrier strategy. These templates provide a starting point for shippers to track specific metrics that are crucial for their operations.

For instance, users can track fuel and surcharge spend to monitor how costs are changing and spot charges that require review. Another popular template is the carrier performance template, which allows users to compare on-time delivery, transit days, and cost per package across different carriers. Late shipments can also be tracked with a specific template, ensuring that any delays are promptly addressed.

One national retailer, for example, uses the Action Library to track fees that are fully covered by its contract as well as those that do not apply to its account, such as print invoice fees. Another client tracks the monthly impact of fuel surcharges on Express versus Ground shipments, providing valuable insights into cost management.

McCarrick further explained that SiftedAI is designed to be an always-on logistics analyst, analyzing invoices, monitoring carrier changes, modeling rate impacts, and recommending next steps. This platform helps shippers optimize their parcel spend and operations, with clients seeing a 17% reduction in cost per package.

Sifted clients include thousands of shippers, including Fortune 1000 companies managing more than $21 billion in transportation spend. The company's SiftedAI platform is an agentic AI tool that controls parcel costs before they become spend, offering continuous optimization and clarity in logistics management.

Shippers can now take advantage of the Action Library to automate their parcel cost monitoring, ensuring that they stay ahead of any cost changes and maintain control over their logistics operations.
