Circular Showcase: LoopOS
More and more organisations are embracing circular business models, but delivering them at scale remains a significant operational challenge.
Trade-in programmes, device subscriptions, warranty services, certified pre-owned sales and buy-back schemes require customer journeys, pricing engines, payment systems, logistics providers and service networks to work together seamlessly. Yet many organisations still manage these activities across multiple disconnected systems.
Founded in Portugal, LoopOS has developed a technology stack designed to simplify this complexity.
Built for circular programmes
LoopOS enables organisations to launch, manage and scale circular programmes without building bespoke systems for every initiative.
The platform supports everything from customer onboarding and pricing calculations to payments, logistics coordination, service fulfilment and partner management. By bringing these capabilities together, organisations can deploy new services more efficiently while reducing operational complexity.
Connecting the moving parts
A key differentiator is LoopOS’ ability to coordinate the various parties involved in circular operations.
Physical stores, customer service teams, logistics providers, repair partners and secondary market channels can all be connected through the platform, helping organisations manage complex workflows while maintaining a consistent customer experience.
By combining workflow automation, integrations and agentic AI capabilities, LoopOS helps businesses reduce manual administration, automate decision-making and adapt programmes as operational requirements evolve.
Enabling long-term growth
Today, LoopOS works with retailers, telecommunications providers, insurers and consumer technology businesses looking to create new revenue streams, improve customer retention and extend product lifecycles through circular services.
As circular business models continue to mature, LoopOS is helping organisations build the operational foundations needed to support these programmes at scale.

LoopOS is interested in speaking with retailers, brands, telecommunications providers, insurers and service organisations looking to launch or scale circular services:
