Understand your final landed cost
Don't let unknown or surprise cost categories tank your margins. Use Loop's comprehensive cost attribution approach to GL coding to find insights that boost your P&L.
Don’t be fooled by averages
Drill your costs down to the why behind every product, customer, package, unit, or lane.
Centralize supply chain data
Unify shipment and spend data from any source or format to create a single, trusted source of truth.
Attribute real costs
Go beyond simple categorization and assign costs at a line-item level, revealing the true cost for every product, customer, or channel.
Forecast accurately
Ground your plans in comprehensive, auditable cost data—not just averages—to confidently predict the impact of your decisions.
Analyze performance
Access self-serve cost attribution analysis to move from reactive cost management to proactive profitability optimization.
Centralize supply chain and spend data
You can’t understand your true cost-to-serve if you don’t have a pristine, contextualized data foundation. Too often, teams spend more time cleansing data than analyzing it.
Loop's AI-native platform seamlessly ingests, cleanses, and contextualizes millions of data points from disparate systems to create the single, trusted source of truth required for cost attribution. This enables you to accurately calculate your total landed cost and understand how it impacts profitability.
Attribute costs
Stop guessing why your money is going where it is. Legacy cost allocation offers a high-level view of where money was spent, but it lacks the granularity to reveal the root cause of a cost.
Loop’s cost attribution engine moves you beyond the tedious tasks and accidental errors of manual cost allocation by automatically connecting every dollar to the specific business activity that drove it. Use our powerful rules-based engines to automate your unique business logic and to assign the GL codes, cost centers, and more so your finance, product, transportation, and executive teams have the insights they crave—and never knew were possible.
Forecast accurately
Don't base critical decisions on flawed calculations. Ground your choices in reality. Accurate and auditable freight data is crucial for cost management and future forecasting. Your transportation, finance, and executive teams need to precisely monitor and measure your total landed costs so you can appropriately model and manage your P&L.
With Loop, you can confidently meet the stringent requirements of accounting standards like ASC 606 and demonstrate robust internal controls for SOX readiness.
Analyze performance
Don’t just manage your freight spend as an unavoidable cost of doing business. Best-in-class teams proactively manage their spend as a powerful source of competitive intelligence.
Empower your teams to be analysts, not data processors, with Loop’s self-serve cost attribution analysis. Get out-of-the-box reports and dashboards that you can segment by multiple cost dimensions across your carriers, customers, and products.
Proactively manage your transportation spend
Cost attribution isn’t done quarterly or annually—it’s a daily practice that provides a lasting competitive advantage.
Data standardization
Contextualize, categorize, and standardize each data point to get complete visibility.
