In this episode of Everything is Logistics, Blythe talks with Shawn McCarrick, CEO of Sifted, about how AI is changing parcel spend management for shippers.

Sifted is a SaaS-based business optimization and parcel spend management platform. Their Copilot product helps shippers monitor parcel spend, set alerts, ask questions in natural language, and catch cost issues before they turn into bigger problems.

They cover:

Why parcel spend has become a bigger line item for many shippers
How Sifted moved from consulting and audit work into SaaS and AI
Why cost prevention matters more than finding savings after the money is already spent
How Sifted Copilot helps shippers monitor spend, KPIs, and carrier data
Why data governance and third-party validation matter for AI in parcel shipping
How shippers can set up alerts, triggers, and simulations
Why SaaS products may become more headless as AI interfaces become more common

This conversation is part of the CargoRex AI Use Cases in Logistics guide, featuring real examples of how logistics companies are using AI across freight, warehousing, procurement, visibility, and operations.
