SiftedAI's Action Library puts parcel cost tracking on autopilot

Track anything with Actions or start with a template, and see what changed without waiting for the next report

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sifted, the leading logistics intelligence company, today announced the Action Library in SiftedAI, its agentic platform for parcel spend management. The Action Library adds ready-made templates to Actions, a feature first announced in June, that lets shippers set up any question about their parcel data to run on its own and get notified when a result needs attention. Together, they turn parcel cost monitoring from reactive to automatic.

Every day without monitoring is a day a cost change can go unseen. Carrier rates, fees and surcharges update throughout the year, and the annual general rate increase (GRI) adds another round. A team that waits for the next report or invoice learns about a change after the cost has landed.

Carrier costs do not follow a schedule, so monitoring cannot wait for one. Shippers can track anything they want with Actions, or start with a template. SiftedAI runs each Action at the cadence the team sets, at any hour, and saves every result, so the team is never waiting on a report to find out what changed.

Track anything, or start with a template

With Actions, users set a question to run in SiftedAI on a cadence they choose. Users can:

• Choose a cadence: every day, week or month, or a specific day of the week or month, at any hour
• Set conditions to be notified only when one is met, such as a metric crossing a threshold
• Turn on notifications in the app or by email
• Edit or pause an Action as priorities change
• Review saved results from every run

The Action Library adds templates for five areas: shipping costs, shipment details, billing accuracy, carrier performance and carrier strategy. Popular starting points include:

• Fuel and surcharge spend: Track how costs are changing and spot charges to review.
• Carrier performance: Compare on-time delivery, transit days and cost per package across carriers.
• Late shipments: Get notified when packages move outside expected delivery windows.
• Leadership updates: Combine spend, shipment volume and cost per package in one recap.

Clients use Actions in practical ways. One national retailer tracks fees its contract covers in full as well as fees that do not apply to its account, such as print invoice fees. Another tracks the monthly impact of fuel surcharges on Express versus Ground shipments.

"Parcel shippers and logistics professionals have full days, and cost changes do not wait for a free moment," said Shawn McCarrick, CEO of Sifted. "We will always upgrade SiftedAI to fit how busy teams work. With Actions and the Action Library, SiftedAI monitors and tracks what matters to you and notifies you when a result needs attention, so you can act sooner."
