Our Review
After diving deep into Glimpse's platform and speaking with several CPG brands using their solution, we're genuinely impressed by how they're transforming a historically painful aspect of retail operations. This isn't just another fintech tool – it's a sophisticated AI solution that's actually solving a real problem.
A Fresh Take on an Age-Old Problem
What caught our attention first was Glimpse's laser focus on the deductions management headache. If you're not in CPG, you might not realize that brands often lose millions in revenue through retailer deductions – those mysterious payment shortfalls that come with cryptic explanation codes. Traditional solutions involved throwing more people at the problem, but Glimpse's AI approach is refreshingly different.
Where The Magic Happens
The platform's ability to automatically decode and classify deductions is where things get interesting. We've seen the technology in action, and it's impressive how it can transform hundreds of PDFs with obscure codes into actionable insights. The system doesn't just identify issues – it actively pursues recovery, which explains why customers like immi have seen ROIs as high as 9X.
Room for Improvement
While Glimpse's core technology is solid, we'd love to see more advanced predictive analytics features in future updates. The platform could potentially help brands prevent deduction issues before they occur, not just resolve them after the fact. That said, they're already miles ahead of traditional solutions.
Who Should Get Excited
If you're running a mid-sized or larger CPG brand and losing sleep over deductions management, Glimpse should be on your radar. The sweet spot seems to be companies dealing with multiple retailers and distributors who are tired of leaving money on the table. For smaller brands just starting out, the investment might be premature – but for established players, it's a no-brainer.
With $10 million in Series A funding and backing from Y Combinator, Glimpse is well-positioned to keep innovating in this space. They're solving a real problem with sophisticated technology, and that's exactly the kind of solution we love to see in the market.
