  • We've been a customer for 5 years and to my knowledge have no plans to change that status.
  • It has taken our data from only available via emailed Excel spreadsheets to easily available to everyone in the company.

  • Positive Impact: Before Periscope Data was available to my department, I had to search through the Que in Smile Check for the cases that were low hanging fruit. Now Periscope pulls that data and that data only from those Ques and I am able to use the filters for better accuracy.

  • We've been able to automate certain reporting that required far too much manual work saving time and money as a result
  • We are very early in our use, but the sky is literally the limit with Periscope.

  • It's tough to put an actual number on it. However, it has had a positive impact on our team for us to understand our workload.
  • We can track how profitable we were as a department by seeing how many hours we charged our customers versus how many hours we've tracked. As a young department in our company, this data is extremely important for us to adjust our pricing as we move forward into the new year.
  • It hasn't had a negative impact, except when Periscope servers are down.

  • We've become a much more data focused organization. Periscope has allows us to better understand certain metrics that we can inform both our day-to-day tactical operations as well as our more strategic long term vision.
  • At times, Periscope has generated almost too much focus on certain metrics that may not inform our business decisions as much as some members of our team would think. That's not necessarily the fault of Periscope but it is certainly an impact of using it.
