Real data. Actionable insights. Tailored recommendations.
In 2023, Sendcloud acquired Tracey, an AI startup specialising in real-time parcel monitoring, courier benchmarking, and delivery predictions.
Once reserved for larger customers, this technology now powers smart shipping events, analytics dashboards, and AI-driven recommendations — giving every Sendcloud user the tools to monitor performance, cut costs, and resolve issues before they impact customers.
Sendcloud operates the largest European shipping dataset, analysing millions of shipments and billions of scan events to predict ETAs, detect delays, and benchmark courier performance.
We process data from 160+ global and local couriers, from DHL, UPS, DPD, and FedEx to PostNL, bpost, Royal Mail, La Poste, and many more.
Our Shipping Intelligence even detects shipping events couriers don’t provide, giving earlier alerts on delays, expiring pickups, or missing parcels so you can act faster and reduce support requests.
Our built-in shipping analytics software gives you different levels of reporting depending on your plan:
– Free, Lite and Growth users get access to a basic shipping and returns overview, as well as cost analytics.
– With the Premium plan, you unlock full analytics for shipping, costs, and returns.
– Pro and Enterprise users gain advanced analytics, with added benchmarking to compare performance and refine their strategy.
