About Perygon & Sedulo

Perygon is Sedulo's fintech and business-intelligence platform for SMEs and larger organisations, turning people, risk and performance data, such as staff happiness and engagement scores, into clear, actionable insights. It’s used by leadership, product and People teams to spot trends, prioritise action and measure outcomes across the business. Backed by Sedulo’s nationwide advisory expertise, we’re investing heavily in a design-led roadmap, so the experience feels consumer-grade while remaining secure, scalable and ready for white-label client rollouts.
