Sifted

Sifted (formerly VeriShip) is the leading logistics data-science platform that helps shippers save money by optimizing business decisions. Though originally founded in 2005, 2020 kicked off a new era as Sifted and VeriShip merged. The combination created a new model for managing transportation spend — one that brought together the power of self-service technology and transportation data science to help shippers navigate an increasingly complex shipping environment.[1] The company is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, having been previously headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas.[2][3]
