Shippo adds to functionality for AI-powered shipping insights, analytics
Shippo updated its AI-powered Intelligence platform with surcharge dashboards, carrier performance maps, and cost visibility tools for merchants. Sellers using Shippo can now track additional carrier fees by service level and identify invoice adjustments that reduce shipping costs.
Carrier surcharges are quietly eroding margins — most sellers don't audit them systematically. Use the new surcharges dashboard to identify which carrier/service combos are generating the most add-on fees, then renegotiate or shift volume.
As carrier surcharges accelerate across FedEx, UPS, and USPS, tools that surface per-shipment fee breakdowns become margin-defense infrastructure — not nice-to-haves.
Check the Shippo surcharges dashboard by carrier and service level — if any carrier shows recurring accessorial fees above 5% of base rate, shift volume to the lower-fee option or negotiate a surcharge waiver.
Within 30 days, enable AI insights emails in Shippo to get weekly delivery performance flags before they escalate into customer complaints or late shipment penalties.

Full Coverage
Shipping platform provider Shippo announced updates to its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered “Shippo Intelligence,” adding insights and analytics features for merchants. Its latest updates to Shippo Intelligence are intended to help online retailers to better identify issues, reduce costs and improve delivery performance.
The new capabilities include AI-generated insights emails, interactive shipping performance maps and deeper cost visibility, according to Shippo. That includes surfacing an online retailer’s shipping costs, carrier performance and delivery outcomes, Shippo noted.
In addition, the new version of Shippo Intelligence includes two dashboards focused on surcharges and positive adjustments. According to Shippo, the surcharges dashboard details additional fees by carrier and service level. Meanwhile, the positive adjustments dashboard focuses on invoice changes that reduce shipping costs.
Maria Gonalez, chief operating officer at Nice & Bella, said the dashboards have been helpful for the jewelry retailer. The dashboards help give Nice & Bella “visibility into both current and historical performance, which in turn helps us prioritize next steps,” she stated in the announcement.
