Ocean freight audit & pay

Whether you’re shipping port-to-port or door-to-door, EXW or DDP, Loop helps you validate every charge. We bring clarity to your costs and control to your processes—so you know exactly what you’re paying for, why you’re paying it, and where to recover unvalidated costs.

Take control of ocean freight spend

Loop's powerful AI centralizes all of your ocean spend data from any document or feed in one location, giving you and your teams complete spend visibility.

Complete ocean spend visibility

Unify shipment and spend data, regardless of format and source, to monitor performance and uncover anomalies.

AI-powered ocean audits

Eliminate unnecessary losses by accurately auditing every invoice with 100% financial compliance.

Allocate all costs, automatically

Using your business rules and GL coding logic, Loop's AI can automatically allocate all costs, down to whatever level of granularity you need.

Configurable rules engine

Loop’s AI-powered policy engine enforces your rules for invoice approval, reducing exceptions and ensuring compliance in every payment.

Configurable to your ocean needs

Loop’s flexible FAP platform is engineered to evolve with your growing business needs. Whether you’re focused on end-to-end visibility, full ocean audit, or a mix of both, Loop adapts to your data, contracts, and internal workflows. It supports the way your team actually operates, not the way legacy systems think you should.

Visibility for ocean optimization

Our system digitizes and normalizes 100% of your ocean invoices, turning unstructured billing data into codified spend intelligence.

You get a clear view across carriers (SSLs and NVOCCs), lanes, container types, and charge codes—making it easy to identify top cost drivers, policy gaps, and areas of financial risk.

Advanced ocean audits

Loop builds a digital twin of your environment to deliver fast, accurate audits of every invoice against your actual terms—rate cards, quotes, TMS exports, even gate-in/gate-out timestamps.

We validate contracted rates, container counts, event timing, and free time usage. That means less manual recon, fewer missed errors, and a much faster path from invoice to payment approval.

Powered by AI, controlled by your rules

With Loop’s policy engine, you define how freight invoices are approved. Set variance thresholds by charge type or carrier. Require documentation before payment. Short-pay charges that don’t meet your standards. Configure workflows that match your audit, compliance, and finance policies.

Loop enforces all of it automatically proprietary AI models we’ve built  in house. With the industry’s best AI-native FAP, you get fewer exceptions, rapid time-to-value, less back-and-forth, and higher confidence in every dollar that leaves your books.

Precision cost allocation, built for ocean complexity

Loop makes it easy to allocate costs with precision, using the same normalized, audit-grade data already powering your workflows.

Whether you need to split charges by SKU, PO, port pair, vendor, or customer, Loop’s cost allocation engine gives you the flexibility to match freight spend to your internal financial structure.

Everything flows directly into your ERP or financial systems, so landed cost becomes measurable at scale—and P&L mapping finally makes sense.

Start where you are, scale as you grow

Whether you're consolidating contracts, trying to report your true transportation spend, or looking to automate global audit workflows—Loop’s ocean solution is purpose-built to evolve with your needs.
