Why Loop ERP?

Brokerage ERP

Why Loop ERP?

Moving commodities across suppliers, processors, and end buyers requires accurate contracts, dependable pricing, clean settlement data, and constant visibility into every transaction. Loop ERP is built for brokers managing metals, aggregates, plastics, paper, electronics, or blended materials with fast-moving deal cycles.

Loop ERP replaces spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a single system that prices, tracks, bills, and settles with accuracy, whether you:

  • Coordinate multi-party trades
  • Manage contract-based buying and selling across regions

What is commodity brokerage ERP software?

Commodity brokerage ERP software is a system that manages the full deal lifecycle, from contract creation and indexed pricing through logistics coordination, grading, and financial settlement, inside a single platform. Brokers handling metals, plastics, aggregates, paper, or electronics deal with fast-moving cycles, multi-party transactions, and pricing that shifts by grade, index, and supplier terms.

Standard ERP systems aren't built for that. A purpose-built brokerage ERP connects purchasing, sales, dispatch, and finance so every deal closes cleanly, every settlement ties back to the original contract, and margin is visible in real time.

The Only All-in-One System You Need

Everything Under One Roof

Loop ERP connects purchasing, sales, logistics, and finance so brokers can manage every deal from contract to cash in one place.

1

Sales Contracts and Orders Linked End-to-End

Manage customer contracts and corresponding sales orders from execution through fulfillment and settlement. Every deal flows through one system, eliminating manual cross-referencing and reducing contract compliance risk.

2

Pricing Structures Without Manual Overrides

Handle supplier-specific pricing variations and margin calculations automatically. No more spreadsheet-based pricing lookups or rate adjustments that delay invoicing or introduce errors.

3

Real-Time Settlement and Payment Tracking

See pending settlements, accrued margins, and payment status instantly. Reconcile with suppliers and customers in one place instead of juggling email confirmations and spreadsheet tabs.

4

Complete Financial Visibility from Deal to GL

Every transaction flows directly into accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the general ledger. Margins and freight costs post automatically, so you know profitability by deal, customer, and supplier without month-end cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About Loop ERP

Can Loop ERP handle the pace of high-volume deal cycles?

icon

Yes. Contracts, pricing, logistics coordination, and settlement all live in one place, reducing the friction that comes from managing each stage in separate tools.

Does Loop ERP support track and trace for brokered material?

icon

Yes. Loop maintains chain-of-custody documentation by lot, weight, grade, and site from origin through final destination. That traceability is available for audits, ESG reporting, and customer requirements, without any manual documentation work.

How does Loop ERP give brokers visibility into open positions and margin?

icon

Real-time dashboards track contract volume, margin by deal, open positions, and outstanding payments. You can see where your exposure is and what deals are pending settlement without pulling data from multiple tools. AI-driven insights surface margin risks and pricing adjustments before they impact your bottom line.

How does Loop ERP manage multi-party deals and settlements?

icon

Loop is built for buy-sell trades, consignment arrangements, and multi-party deals. Vendor settlements support freight deductions, rebates, and netting across complex deal structures. Buyer invoices are generated from the same deal data that drives your purchasing side, so both ends of a transaction stay in sync.

How does Loop ERP handle indexed pricing and supplier-specific terms?

icon

The pricing module supports dynamic pricing by index, grade, and specification, with supplier-specific agreements and deal-level terms built into the workflow.

What commodities does Loop ERP support?

icon

Loop supports brokerage operations across metals, plastics, aggregates, paper, electronics, and similar materials-based commodities. Each commodity type can be configured with its own pricing rules, grading criteria, and deal terms, so the system reflects how you actually trade, not a generic workflow you have to work around.

Is Loop ERP built for commodity brokers, or is it a general ERP that covers brokerage as an add-on?

icon

Loop is designed for the full commodity deal lifecycle, from contract creation and indexed pricing through logistics coordination and financial settlement. Standard ERP systems aren't built for fast-moving deal cycles, multi-party transactions, or inventory that shifts in grade and value between buy and sell. Loop handles all of it in one system.

How does Loop ERP handle supplier settlements and vendor payments?

icon

Loop ERP automates supplier payments based on ticket data, net weight, and grade. It supports deductions, freight netting, multi-party deals, consignment sales, and joint ventures. Buyers receive invoices that break out surcharges, alloy adjustments, and transport costs — all generated from the same ticket data that drives operations.

What platform is Loop ERP built on?

icon

Loop is built on Oracle NetSuite, which means you get enterprise-grade accounting, CRM, and financial reporting built in. There is no separate accounting system to sync with, and no additional middleware between your operations and your books.

How secure is Loop ERP?

icon

Loop ERP runs on Oracle NetSuite, so your data lives inside enterprise cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, and audit logging on every transaction. Ticket edits, grade changes, and settlement adjustments all carry a user stamp and timestamp. If a record is overridden or reclassified, you can see who did it and when, which matters for disputes, audits, and internal controls.

How does Loop ERP help with sustainability reporting?

icon

Loop ERP pulls data straight from the same ticket and inventory records that run the yard, so sustainability reports reflect what actually moved, not a separate data set. Real-time dashboards track tons recycled by material, carbon saved, and landfill diversion by facility or customer. When a buyer or regulator asks for proof, you can produce a traceable record tied to specific loads, grades, and destinations instead of rebuilding it from spreadsheets.

Can Loop ERP handle large-scale operations?

icon

Yes. Loop ERP is built on NetSuite, the same platform used by enterprise recyclers, multi-yard operators, and shredder networks. It handles multi-entity accounting, consolidated reporting across locations, high daily ticket volumes, and complex settlement structures without slowing down. If you are running one yard today and five next year, you do not need to replatform to keep up.

How long does it take to implement Loop ERP?

icon

Implementation time varies, depending on the number of locations, material streams, and integrations involved (scales, cameras, payment processors, third-party logistics). The Loop ERP team handles data migration, workflow configuration, scale integration, and training in parallel, and we work directly with your operations leads, not just IT, so the system matches how your yard actually runs on day one.

What makes Loop ERP different from other ERP systems?

icon

Most ERP systems treat inventory as static boxes on a shelf. Loop ERP is built for inventory that changes grade, weight, and value at every step, which is how scrap, recycling, aggregate, brokerage, and similar materials-based businesses actually work. It is also NetSuite-native, so you do not need a separate accounting package, a middleware layer, or a patchwork of integrations to get from inbound ticket to closed financials. One login, one system, one source of truth for operations and finance.
