KIMBERLEY TAYLOR
Today morning cruise was joined via telephone to have
a chat to Kimberley Taylor to discuss more about her journey in being a businesswoman
and the founder of her online delivery software platform named LOOP.
“Loop” is based in Johannesburg and was launched in
2016 in Johannesburg, South Africa and has proved to be a disruptor across the
African continent with their uniquely developed technology which solves real
issues in the delivery and logistics space.
Kim shared with us that in 2018, she won the ‘MTN App
Enterprise of the Year Award’ and went on to win the 2022 Grindstone Top
Performing Company Award. Prior to founding Loop, she completed her Chemical Engineering
Degree at the University of Wits.
“Loop is designed to remove friction points and
inefficiencies, and to optimise the interaction between our clients and their
own clients, through collaborations and partnerships. Loop is a custom-based
delivery platform, designed to give visibility to the business, the driver and
the customer. The two main algorithms that have proudly been developed by Loop
are the Route Optimisation and a Clustering algorithm”.
Kimberly also mentioned that there is lots of pressure
with being a futuristic person and that it does come with challenges. She says
that her team growing has been one of her favourite parts and seeing the growth
of people and the connecting has been her favourite part as well. Kim also
mentioned that because they’ve grown so much that they were able to expand
their team and she’s so grateful for that.
Our presenter Khusi also asked Kimberley, where people can get in contact with her and also if she has any last words of motivation for anyone out there in which she responded that you can still learn a way of thinking and problem solving and that skillset is very wanted in the industry today as well as problem solving.
