Periscope
Born out of a creative agency struggling to cope with the demands of high-speed growth, Periscope is an online studio management system which accelerates workflow, increases profitability and brings back the joy! www.periscopehq.com
Route
Periscope is a fully operational, subscription based, web application. It has been developed over a 3 year period and its UK launch is scheduled for Summer 2009.
Background
Before Periscope, IE’s business operated through multiple, paper based and digital systems. Everything from lists in notebooks to Excel spreadsheets and Word documents. Clients and suppliers increasingly began to notice the value of the system to IE – and potentially to their own organisations – and began asking where they could buy it. In 2006 IE decided to redesign and rebuild the system from the ground up in order to take it to market.
“Periscope is so simple. So clear and easy to use.” Bal Nandra, Course Director, BA Visual Communication, Birmingham City University
Brief
To design and build an intuitive web application through which a creative business might be run. To enhance client relationships by improving client satisfaction. To simplify scheduling and resource planning by minimising overrun and increasing profitability. To Reduce the ever-present administrative burden and release time for creative work. To measure and report key performance indicators to make it easier to manage people and projects. To improve communication with clients and in-house teams and to interface with existing email and accounting systems.
“A superb value system for SME’s. Beautifully designed. A business in a box!” Grant Melrose, Project Consultant, West Midlands Collaborative Commerce Marketplace
Timeframe
3 years from decision to take to market to public launch.
Outcome
Since implementing Periscope IE’s sales have increased by 32%, trade debtors have decreased by 35% and debtor days have been halved. Summer 2009 public launch.
