“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Bottom line
Loop is a logistics data platform that uses full-stack AI to unify shipment, tracking and invoice data, then automate freight and parcel audit, carrier payments, contract optimization and real-time visibility. It targets transportation and finance teams at shippers, 3PLs and manufacturers, and cites 5-7% spend reduction from audits, 15-20% contract savings and go-live in weeks rather than months. Deployments are demo-led; Loop publishes no pricing, support tiers or security certifications.
Frequently asked questions
What is Loop, in one sentence?
Loop is a logistics data platform that uses full-stack AI to unify shipment, tracking and invoice data, then automate freight and parcel audit, carrier payment, contract optimization and real-time visibility for shippers, 3PLs and manufacturers.
How long does it take to go live?
Loop's own messaging says 'weeks, not months' to implement, and customer quotes describe moving an invoice through document retrieval, categorization, audit and approval in minutes once live. Buyers should still budget time for data integration with carriers, invoice feeds and ERP/GL systems, since the platform connects to invoice, shipment and finance data.
How is Loop priced?
Pricing is not published. Loop's contact form is demo-led and asks for annual transportation spend bands ($5M, $5-25M, $25-100M, $100M+), which suggests contracts sized to freight volume and modes rather than a simple per-seat list price. Ask for a volume-based quote and a defined ROI case before committing.
Does Loop replace our TMS or ERP?
No. Loop positions itself as the data, audit and payment layer for transportation spend: it cleans and standardizes shipment and invoice data and feeds downstream systems. Dispatch, routing, production planning and the general ledger stay in your existing TMS and ERP.
What AI does Loop ship, and what happens to our data?
Loop markets a full-stack AI platform: AI data extraction for invoices and shipment documents, DUX, a logistics-trained suite of models and agents, and an autonomous Exception Agent for exception management. Loop has not published whether customer data is used to train or improve its models, so confirm that in contracting.
What security certifications does Loop hold?
None could be verified from the sources reviewed: there is no security, trust or compliance page among the pages examined, so SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and FedRAMP status are unconfirmed. Ask for the latest audit reports and a completed security questionnaire before signing.
