Loop Secures US$95m to Boost Supply Chain Visibility

Supply chain leaders are facing mounting pressure to navigate geopolitical instability, supplier diversification and rising operational costs whilst maintaining visibility and control.

Loop, an AI-powered logistics data platform, has secured US$95m in Series C funding to expand its supply chain intelligence capabilities and help organisations turn fragmented operational data into actionable insights.

The funding round, led by Valor Equity Partners and the Valor Atreides AI Fund with participation from 8VC, Founders Fund, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners and Tao Capital Partners, will enable Loop to scale its platform across more enterprise supply chain use cases.

The company plans to invest in AI talent whilst growing its product and engineering capabilities to address the visibility and cost-control challenges that supply chain teams face daily.

Loop's platform utilises full-stack AI to unify shipment and tracking data across fragmented systems, transforming disconnected information into a cohesive foundation for supply chain decision-making. According to the company, this approach could enable logistics and procurement teams to operate more efficiently whilst gaining stronger control over working capital and network visibility.

Addressing fragmented supply chain data

Supply chain operations are increasingly complex, with data scattered across legacy systems, ERPs, transportation management systems (TMS), warehouse management systems (WMS) and order-management platforms.

This fragmentation creates significant challenges for supply chain leaders attempting to measure cost-to-serve, optimise logistics networks or respond quickly to market disruptions.

"We see every day how much pressure companies are under to manage supply chains through constant disruption, and how often critical decisions are still being made on top of fragmented data and brittle systems," says Matt McKinney, Loop Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, in a press release.

"This investment lets us expand our platform and connect the financial and operational data that our customers need to make better decisions, faster."

Loop's approach focuses on back-office supply chain operations first, targeting areas where data fragmentation often has the highest economic impact.

The company is working to strengthen connections across existing supply chain systems, aiming to create a unified intelligence layer that could improve visibility across procurement, suppliers, trade and compliance, warehouse operations and inbound logistics.

By addressing these data silos, Loop aims to help organisations build more resilient supply chain operations that can adapt to changing market conditions.

The platform's ability to integrate disparate data sources positions it as a critical tool for companies looking to modernise their supply chain infrastructure without replacing existing systems.

Improving supply chain cost control

The platform is being designed to address a critical challenge facing supply chain leaders: the difficulty of deploying AI effectively when necessary data is inconsistent and spread across multiple systems.

Many organisations struggle to have a singular, cohesive view of their supply chain information, making it harder to identify cost-saving opportunities or respond to disruptions efficiently.

Loop aims to make it easier for supply chain and procurement leaders to make informed decisions by converting trapped operational data into an intelligent system that can be used across logistics and finance workflows.

Through this restructure of fragmented information, the company intends to help businesses reduce costs, improve network visibility and gain better control across their supply chain operations.

The platform is currently working with brands including Olipop, Outset Medical and Dot Foods. According to Loop, it has already helped these clients improve supply chain visibility, reduce operational costs and create more scalable and reliable foundations for logistics decision-making.

This focus on cost control comes at a critical time, as supply chain teams face increasing scrutiny over operational expenditure and working capital management. Loop's data-driven approach enables finance and operations teams to collaborate more effectively, identifying inefficiencies and optimising spend across the logistics network.

Expanding supply chain intelligence capabilities

Loop utilises DUX, a family of models and agents built to meet complex logistics and supply chain challenges. The technology combines data, document and domain understanding to help contextualise and act on information across a range of supply chain systems. According to Loop, this could provide customers with a more unified view of their supply chain operations, enabling stronger decision-making and creating a better foundation for automation implementation.

"Loop went deep into one of the hardest parts of the supply chain and turned it into an advantage for their customers," adds Antonio Gracias, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Valor, in a press release.

"Through the AI systems they've built, they're taking data that was previously fragmented and inaccessible and are turning it into intelligence that improves cost, processes and working capital. That foundation extends into other operational and financial functions, which is why Loop is positioned to become the intelligence layer of the entire supply chain."

The new capital will be utilised to help the company grow its team and diversify use cases across the supply chain and logistics industry.

Through the funding, Loop can bring its capabilities to more organisations at a faster pace, with the aim of becoming a foundational platform to help transform fragmented supply chain data into actionable strategy for operational and financial decision-making.

As Loop expands its capabilities, the company is positioning itself to serve as a comprehensive intelligence layer for enterprise supply chains.

The investment will support the development of new features and integrations that address emerging challenges in global logistics, from sustainability tracking to regulatory compliance.
