What do you like best about Accelo?

Takes a bit to learn, but once you wrap your head around it, the ease of implementation and functionality is great. We use this every day in our agency and it helps us keep track of all of our clients, projects and invoicing. It also seamlessly integrates with Xero and other popular softwares. I have found the customer support to be good. They have a great range of articles you can read if you're having trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

When switching from the old to new version of Accelo, I found quite a few key features were not transferred over that I use every day. This meant that I had to stay using the old version for a while. Additionally, there are some glitches sometimes with filters etc and the ability to produce dashboards and reports, but are usually fixed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having one centralised portal where we can access our client database along with a history of all the work we have done for them is game changing. The ability to assign key tasks and projects to employees keeps everyone on track and accountable for the work they have to do. Additionally, the functionality of being able to produce reports from our data means we can continuously improve our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Mathewson of Accelo

Thanks so much, Alyssa! We’re thrilled Accelo is helping your agency stay on top of project delivery and invoicing. It’s great to know the Xero integration and support resources are delivering value. Your feedback on transitioning features and reporting is incredibly helpful — we’re always evolving to meet teams like yours where they are.

What do you like best about Accelo?

Integrating client information with contacts, emails, projects, all the way through to invoicing is a time saver for our small team, allowing access to pertinent information for the whole team. There is still a lot that Accelo can do that we haven't tapped into yet. It is challenging to learn, but their team walks you through step by step and sets up as much of the backend for you as possible, taking the time to train you along the way. We use Accelo every day in numerous ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

For our specific work, which doesn't fit nicely into any platform, several of the more robust features just don't work for how we do what we do, so it didn't eliminate as many manual and duplicative processes as we'd hoped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Accelo?

Accelo really shines with its automated workflows, real-time collaboration, and smooth integration with other tools, making everything run much smoother. What’s awesome is how easy it is to use, how you can tweak it to fit your needs, and how it pulls all your client and project info into one place, giving you a clearer view of the big picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

So far, in the three years I have been using Accelo, I have yet to experience any flaws. *Touch wood* Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accelo is tackling a bunch of issues like keeping track of projects, managing client info, and staying on top of time and tasks all in one place. It’s helping me stay organized and saves time by automating a lot of the routine stuff, so I can focus on more important things. Plus, it keeps everything synced up, so I’m never scrambling to find info or update things last minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Mathewson of Accelo

Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that Accelo is making it easy for your team to bring the big picture into focus. We appreciate you partnering with us for three years and we're looking forward to continued success together!

What do you like best about Accelo?

Accelo offers a unified platform that integrates project management, time tracking, CRM, and billing—all in one place. This significantly reduces the need to switch between tools and improves overall workflow efficiency. The automatic time tracking and task management features are especially helpful for consulting and service-based businesses. The real-time visibility into project status and budget is another major plus, allowing for proactive decision-making. Its integration with tools like Outlook and Xero is also smooth and helpful for day-to-day operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

The user interface can feel cluttered and unintuitive at times, especially for new users. The learning curve is quite steep, and onboarding team members often requires additional training. Some modules feel overly rigid and don’t offer the flexibility needed for unique workflows. Additionally, reporting options, while robust, can be cumbersome to configure unless you’re well-versed in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using Accelo, our operations involved multiple disconnected systems, which led to inefficiencies, missed tasks, and lack of clarity on project profitability. Accelo helps us consolidate project management, client communications, time tracking, and invoicing in a single system. This integrated approach gives us real-time insight into workloads, deadlines, and billable time.

The automation features reduce administrative overhead, and the visibility it provides into project progress and resource allocation enables us to deliver services more reliably. It also improves our accountability with clients by offering clear reporting and faster invoicing, which supports better cash flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Mathewson of Accelo

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! It’s great to hear Accelo is helping bring clarity and consistency to your operations. There’s more innovation ahead, and we’re excited to keep improving the experience to support your continued growth.

What do you like best about Accelo?

All the reports that Accelo generates, they aer super helpful. We can easily generate and export all the reports and make a clear financial decisions which helps the company. Moreover, the time entry and expense entry is also super easy and tracable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Since Accelo is a US based software, it does not consider the Canadian tax system. For instance while entering the expense, it does not consider PST. due to that we have to manually deduct the pst from the total and check if the auto generated GST is correct or not. There are some concerns regarding the customer service as well. It is difficult to get a response from out account manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Specially the reports which Accelo provides, they are easy to create and help us to make decisions at very affordable rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Mathewson of Accelo

Thanks so much for your review! We’re glad to hear Accelo’s reporting, time, and expense features are helping your team make clear, confident decisions – feedback like this helps us improve for all our users, including our valued Canadian teams. Excited to keep supporting your success!

What do you like best about Accelo?

As our low volt campany continues to grow in different directions, Accelo is able to grow along with us. Integrating sales, project management, service calls, and billing in one platform has been more than worth the effort. The team behind Accelo continues to provide excellent support, quickly and clearly, with options and best practices. We use Accelo at every level of our company, from full time office staff to full time field techs. As the team grows, adding users is a simple process. Regardless of the platform, be it PC or mobile, we are able to onboard a new tech quickly with minimal learing curve on Accelo. The day to day functions of the platform, from scheudling to accessing client data, allow us to be fluid and grow. With the new version 4 rolling out, we have found new features and functions that make the processes of scheduling and tasks even easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

The mobile app is the weakest point from a management perspective. For the end-user in the field, the function is enough on Android and iOS, but the web portal is more potent for management and billing. Client facing portal is something we have not used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Accelo:

Understand that you are buying into a custom product and will need to put forth some effort to fine tune the system to your needs. This is the nature of a custom system. The return on your time and money is well spent with Accelo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

This platform allowed us to centralize and streamline our scheduling, project maangement, and service tracking, as well as to be able to better visualize the labor and monetary aspects of our work. We can better track all metrics internally and in near real-time, resulting in increased profit and customer satisfaction. The ability to have data flow between the office and the field allows us to support customers in one call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Mathewson of Accelo

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We love to hear about how Accelo has supported your growth and streamlined your operations across sales, project management, and service tracking. Your feedback on the mobile app is well received and we are committed to continuous improvement based on your valuable insights – they help us refine our platform to better serve your professional service business needs!

What do you like best about Accelo?

The softweare is user friendly once training has been completed. We use it everyday, all day in the office and it handles everything for us from job quotes, to active jobs and projects. And once the jobs are complte it integrates with our Quickbooks to close a jobs and send it over for billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

We function on job and client codes, which was not something immediately offered when we began using the software. However customer support built this in for us in our client and project entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accelo acts as our primary admin tool and software for our office. Everything we work on begins within the system to start and end a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Accelo of Accelo

Thanks for your review, Tim! We are glad Accelo simplifies your agency’s workflow from job quotes to project completion and that our team could customize client and job codes to fit your needs.
