5 minutes to read

You already know where the chaos lives:

Buried in broken invoice processes.
Buried in disconnected systems.
Buried in your team’s time, every single day.

You’ve seen the opportunity. Now the real challenge is helping leadership see it too.

That’s where we come in.

The truth about buy-in

When it comes to securing budget or green-lighting change, executives don’t need you to become a tech evangelist. They need you to answer five key questions–with proof.

How much is this costing us today?
What’s the risk of doing nothing?
How quickly will we see value?
Will it disrupt current workflows?
What makes this solution better than what we already have?

Loop gives you every answer—clearly, credibly, and with results to back it up.

What execs really care about:

CFO: Wants margin protection, clean cost control, and risk mitigation.

→ Loop identifies 2–7% in freight overspend and unlocks 1–3% in working capital

CIO:Wants tech that integrates fast, reduces complexity, and won’t create debt.

→ Loop goes live in weeks, requires minimal IT lift, and unlocks the layer between raw data and actionable intelligence

CSCO: Wants agility, supply chain visibility, and ops alignment.

→ Loop automates FAP workflows and gives real-time spend clarity across carriers, modes, lanes etc.
