Loop is recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Freight Audit and Payment Providers. The Gartner® Market Guide provides an overview of the freight audit and payment market, outlines key capabilities and trends, and offers guidance to organizations evaluating vendors in this space.
The freight audit and payment market is evolving fast. This year's Gartner Market Guide surfaces three trends every logistics leader needs to understand:
→ AI is reshaping how audits get done. Leading vendors are deploying AI to autonomously process invoices, catch discrepancies, and ensure data integrity at scale.
→ Data quality is the #1 challenge. Without clean, normalized data, FAP providers can't validate charges, optimize spend, or deliver meaningful insights.
→ FAP is expanding beyond transportation. Vendors are integrating data from procurement, warehouse, and customs systems to deliver a fuller picture of logistics costs.
"From the start, we knew FAP was the natural place to begin because it sits at the intersection of cost, compliance, and operational reality."— Matt McKinney, CEO & Co-Founder, Loop
