    Accelo
    Accelo is a system that can do it all. It's extremely sophisticated. Depending on the sophistication of your organization, or specifically the abilities of the people you put in charge of the implementation, it can almost be too sophisticated. It all just depends on your situation. The more you use it, the more data you give it, the more you'll be able to see and do. It's incredibly powerful. But it's definitely not a tool that would be appropriate for smaller boutique type organizations that have only basic needs.

    Support Rating
    Accelo
    From the beginning the Accelo team has been very invested in ensuring our success and overall happiness with the platform. The initial implementation specialists and trainers did a fairly good job of learning our company and needs, and tried to tailor the trainings accordingly. However, once we made the formal switch to the platform, meaning we no longer were using our legacy systems, we found that we had a lot of questions....and a lot of ideas and recommendations. The support team is extremely responsive and seemingly happy to receive our continual feedback. And if we encounter an issue that seems to be a system issue, they work diligently to fix it (we've actually had an engineer join a call with us to learn of the issue - and subsequently fix it)

    Accelo doesn't really exceed any competitors in any one area of their product, but in 2015 when we made the move this was the best option that included all the tools we wanted. However, user adoption was low in some areas due to the UI, so we scaled back Accelo and added other tools.

    Return on Investment
    Accelo
    • It substantially reduced the number of systems we use to run our business.
    • It reduced the need to train our staff on a variety of platforms.
    • It gave us the ability to have a client-facing portal that directly integrates with our backend systems.

    Accelo Screenshots

    Screenshot of project analytics. Accelo keeps projects on track with templates, task management, Gantt charts, AI-predicted completion dates, portfolio views, and built-in client approvals.Screenshot of the scheduling interface. Accelo matches work to the right person by skill, workload, and availability — with utilization reports, capacity forecasting, and dynamic allocations that keep delivery and pipeline aligned.Screenshot of the revenue dashboard. Revenue leakage hides in unbilled hours, missed scope, and late invoices. Accelo captures time automatically, tracks budget and margin live, automates invoicing end-to-end, and manages retainers and scope creep before the damage is done.Screenshot of an overview of capacity. Most firms make decisions on data that's already a month old. Accelo delivers real-time reporting across utilization, profitability, and project financials — with custom dashboards that give every role the signal they need to act.

    Projectworks Screenshots

    Screenshot of visualization that helps to understand capacity, who is available, and when more staff will be needed for work coming down the pipeline. Tag and filter staff by skills and certifications to help make the right staffing decisions.Screenshot of workforce utilization metrics.Screenshot of an example timesheet built for professional services firms. The timecode setup is flexible, to enable users to track how time is spent on projects at any level of detail.Screenshot of a display showing how much of the budget has been burned through actual time spent, as well as what is planned. This lets users know when a project is going over budget. These forecasts can be used to set a billing schedule for fixed-price projects, and a percentage mode to support percentage-based billing. Invoicing runs can be started from the forecasts screen.Screenshot of where to track actuals and see where a project will land against the project budget.Screenshot of an example invoice, which can be based on a timesheet (time and material / T&M), fixed price engagements, or percentage-based billing. It integrates with accounting systems.
