"Best project management tool available"

What do you like best about Accelo?

The ability to have full visibility over multiple projects removes the admin so we can assess our productivity, profitability and work loads to ensure we're delivering great projects, on time.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

We're still in the very early stages of Accelo and the only problems we have encountered so far is that, at times, we don't like the auto time being added to peoples schedules. This is easily rectified though!

Recommendations to others considering Accelo:

Learn what works for your business, our workshop with Accelo was great but you need to go in and see what your specific needs are.

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

We used a different tool previously and couldn't view our profitability, time spent on tasks - Accelo has solved this.

"Scale Your Business"

What do you like best about Accelo?

Accelo gives us the platform to organise our business operations to the level of detail that makes us the most efficient and ensures the quality of work. We can plan in detail but have the real-time optics across every user so that we can react to the daily challenges in completing workload and make the adjustments to keep everyone well utilised and client work on track. We have a fully processed project management system with and with the transparency internally and externally on project progress and cost. It is a system used at all levels of our business from completing individual tasks, to managing projects to making cost decisions.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Not all of the extra features I would like which could reduce admin time are yet available but with the number of new features released since we started using the system and the visibility they provide on their roadmap, I am very confident that we will see them in the near future.

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

Improved utilisation of the team

Quality control

Transparency for clients

Live system processes

Cost of work

Task management

Reporting

Scaling of the business

"Accelorating our processes"

What do you like best about Accelo?

They really thought through some of the recurring pain points of an agency; one of the only options we encountered who had "Retainers" with the right amount of flexibility for our needs.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Some small details could be more customizable, like client messaging buttons, etc. Invoicing is a little cumbersome if you are working with multiple retainers and it's clear the software wasn't built for that use case.

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

We are consolidating multiple platforms with Accelo and giving more visibility to the team, as well as more real-time recognition of client profitability.

"As project manager of my company. Accelo gives you all of the options needed to run a project."

What do you like best about Accelo?

Creating a template for each project. So that once you are starting projects you are able to plug in your template and set your dates accordingly. Then each task is dependent on the next.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

The projects that i am putting through are pretty basic. I am using accelo projects very simply and not getting into using / looking at the extra features that it gives for dates and setting hours.

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

Accelo solves the problem of our team not knowing what is next. I can set up projects and tasks and then set the dates out. So that they know what is next on their list.

"Robust Tool"

What do you like best about Accelo?

No PM system is perfect and we have tried a dozen. This by far is the best one we have used. The easy integrations and flexible api are two of the major items that we needed. The google integration and quickbooks integration are great.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Using all the features is a lot to manage because it does so many things. Everything is does has been great for us.

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

One of the major problems is client tracking and information. The google integration allows managers to follow information threads which help answer and solve problems quickly.

"Great Management Site!"

What do you like best about Accelo?

I love the Stream feature - showing all emails between clients. I think that helps especially in my business. I also like the time tracking feature and the performance dashboard too - it gets a little friendly competition within our website! My company mainly uses the tasking dropdown and the time tracking and those have been super helpful.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

The time tracking can be a little tricky to use - but overall I really like this feature as well. But overall, I don't have any major complaint about Accelo - i think it's a great site. Sometimes my emails do not show up in stream - so its really frustrating.

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

Its a great management tool. We are able to see how our team spends time on specific tasks and if it's profitable to do so.

"Thorough Tool and Excellent Onboarding!"

What do you like best about Accelo?

Accelo provides our team with all the bells and whistles we need. From retainer management, project management to customer relationship management, we have better visibility to where our time is allocated throughout our organization.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Accelo is thorough in its features, providing many ways to accomplish a particular goal. Luckily for us, our implementation manager walked us through these various approaches and best practices to keep us working with the same methodology.

Recommendations to others considering Accelo:

Don't fret about the onboarding — Accelo's implementation process is best in class!

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

We can better understand where our time is allocated and can easily track hours against retainer periods. It also provides a level of resource visibility that we haven't been able to access historically.

"Powerful Capabilities & Useful Integrations"

What do you like best about Accelo?

As a service-based digital agency, we use Accelo as a CRM, project management tool, time tracking, and ticket-based request system. By integrating the CRM with project management and time tracking, we streamline the process of billing. Projects can be assigned as recurring retainers with tasks or as single tickets. There are multiple ways to track project time: task timers, logging time within a retainer or project, adding time from the task board or from the daily timesheet. This variety of time tracking methods allows employees to keep track of their time in the way that works best for them. Integrations with Gmail ensure that client communications are recorded and accessible to the whole team.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

It can be a bit tricky to learn how to use it, just because there are so many elements managed within one tool and so many different ways to go about accessing information and tracking time.

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

Having one central place to manage projects, track time, and record client communication means that we can be more transparent as a team and keep everyone in the loop about who is responsible for what part of a project and how each piece fits into the project as a whole. Anyone can look back at client communications or check the status of a task to figure out exactly where we stand.
