KIMBERLEY TAYLOR
What inspired the creation of Loop Platform, and how has its mission evolved since its inception?
Loop was born from a university project where I encountered the travelling salesman problem – a classic challenge in finding the most efficient sequence to visit multiple destinations. This problem sparked my curiosity about real-world delivery challenges. As I dug deeper, I discovered countless inefficiencies in how deliveries were managed, from route planning to a lack of real-time visibility and poor communication with end-customers. This curiosity became a passion, leading to the creation of Loop. Our mission has always been to simplify delivery operations and make them more intuitive and efficient.
Over the years, this mission has evolved into a relentless drive to solve both the big and small pain points in delivery logistics, always focusing on how to bring ease and flow to complex operations. Spending time with our clients and truly understanding their day-to-day struggles has been instrumental in shaping the platform and our approach.
