Analytics Engineer

Today, logistics payments are a big black box that unnecessarily drains thousands, if not millions, of dollars. Legacy services do not meet the market’s needs. Transportation teams need a solution that unlocks insights from their complex datasets, rather than drowning them in manual workflows.

Loop harnesses AI expertise with deep logistics industry knowledge to deliver automated audits, streamlined resolutions, expedited payments, and most importantly actionable insights. All so that shippers and 3PLs can improve spend visibility, eliminate unnecessary costs, and optimize their transportation spend. Loop’s customers see a 4% reduction in costs and an 80% boost in back-office productivity.

Loop is a customer-obsessed company that sees the complexity in the supply chain as an opportunity rather than a challenge. Our foundational AI capitalizes on the messiness in the system to maximize outcomes for our customers.

Investors include Founders Fund, 8VC, Susa Ventures, Flexport, and 50 industry-leading angel investors. Our team brings subject matter expertise and experience from companies like Uber, Google, Flexport, Meta, Samsara, Intuit, and Rakuten - as well as traditional logistics companies like CH Robinson.
