Loop, a pioneering delivery management platform, is transforming South Africa’s logistics sector with a strong focus on sustainability. Handling over 3 million deliveries per month, Loop helps businesses in South Africa —from major retailers like Checkers Sixty60 to SMEs—reduce their carbon footprint while improving efficiency.
They are now expanding their offering by adding a software-as-a-solution (SaaS) model, allowing local businesses to choose a homegrown software solution to integrate its advanced delivery technology directly into their existing systems for greater sustainability, scalability, and operational control.
Reducing Environmental Impact with Smarter Routes:
At the heart of Loop’s platform is its proprietary route optimisation algorithm, which significantly cuts down kilometers traveled per delivery by an average of 20%.
This results in:
- Lower fuel consumption – Reducing costs and dependency on fossil fuels
- Reduced carbon emissions – Less pollution, contributing to greener supply chains
- Longer vehicle lifespan – Less wear and tear on delivery fleets
“By optimising routes, we’re able to dramatically decrease fuel use and emissions, while making deliveries faster and more cost-effective. Sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand,” says Kimberley Taylor, Founder and CEO of Loop.
Kimberley Taylor is not just the visionary behind Loop’s industry-leading technology—she is also part of an elite group of South African female tech start-up founders revolutionizing logistics and supply chain management. As a young, dynamic leader, she personifies ingenuity and innovation, demonstrating how South African talent is shaping the future of global technology.
Her success with Loop places her among industry leaders in tech-driven sustainability, proving that smart logistics solutions can be both profitable and environmentally responsible.
“The future of logistics must be both smart and sustainable. By reducing fuel consumption, emissions, and inefficiencies, we’re helping businesses lower their environmental impact while improving profitability,” Taylor adds.
Enhancing Efficiency & On-Time Deliveries:
Loop’s intelligent system not only supports eco-friendly logistics but also boosts business efficiency:
- Real-time monitoring – Businesses track orders, driver performance, and delivery times via a central dashboard
- Automated route planning – Ensures drivers take the shortest, most efficient routes
- On-time deliveries – Less waiting, reduced congestion, and improved customer satisfaction
Loop’s driver mobile app ensures drivers follow the most efficient sequence of deliveries, while its customer tracking page provides real-time updates—reducing time spent at each stop by up to 50%. This approach has led to major improvements, including a fast-food client increasing its customer satisfaction score from 3.5 to 4.87 out of 5 in just two months.
A Greener Future for Delivery & Logistics
Loop’s new software-as-a-solution model allows larger enterprises to integrate these sustainability-driven tools into their existing logistics systems, unlocking even greater efficiency and environmental benefits.
As Taylor and Loop continue to innovate, the company is proving that technology can be a powerful force for sustainability, business growth, and customer satisfaction.
