Loot, a fully automated platform that offers quick, flexible credit solutions for businesses, enters the Masonry Alliance Program at the Cornerstone Tier.

Starting in 2024, the MAP replaces Strategic and Corporate Partnerships as the only way for active suppliers to remain involved in the MCAA.

"Loot engaged in conversations with us and pretty quickly we realized there are a lot of synergies between our organizations. It's incredibly exciting for our eleventh Cornerstone commitment to be an innovative technology company whose focus is on helping contractors grow their business. We look forward to a long and collaborative relationship," said Dan Kamys, MCAA Director of Content.
