Loop vs Slabstack

Loop is a platform for running a concrete plant in one place. It covers orders, production planning, dispatch, invoicing, quality control, fuel management and audits. Its sales CRM lets concrete businesses customize sales stages and review process analyses from a computer or phone. Planning tools handle trucks, pumps and demand, connecting with plant, ERP or management systems, GPS, delivery-note printing, messaging apps and notifications. A control panel shows truck progress and unauthorized stops in schematic or map views. Customer-facing tools can use the concrete company’s branding, show delivery progress in real time and display delivery history. Messaging, SMS and WhatsApp automations send delivery or order-stage updates. The Quality Control module follows samples through laboratory testing and creates statistical analyses and customer certificates; the module requires an active plan feature and user permission. Loop lists dispatch scheduling, production tracking, job costing, Android, iOS, web and API access. It says it handles migration and integration for moving plant operations. Pricing is on request, and the homepage offers a free demo.
