Periscope offers six main solutions: marketing, customer experience, category, pricing B2C, pricing B2B, and sales. Each combines ongoing data management, insights, software tools, client services, and capability-boosting support. Together, they help clients by weaving Periscope’s IP into their everyday ways of working.

“We are working with clients to accelerate and sustain their commercial transformations. This means helping them to surface new synergies in their supply chain. To build their expertise globally yet provide the ability to act locally, with AI-driven insights that meet the nuanced needs of their customers. We believe our end-to-end revenue management capabilities can help retailers and manufacturers navigate the complexity of challenges they face, to deliver profitable and sustainable growth.”
