Accelo is a comprehensive service operations automation platform built specifically for professional service businesses such as agencies, consultants, engineers, IT service providers, and other client-facing professional firms. Founded in 2011 by Geoff McQueen, Accelo evolved from a service business management platform into what it calls ServOps (Service Operations) – a unified approach to managing the entire client service lifecycle.

The platform combines several traditionally separate business functions into one integrated system:

  • Client Relationship Management – tracking interactions, managing contacts, and storing client information
  • Project Management – planning, executing, and tracking project progress
  • Retainers Management – tracking ongoing client work and recurring contracts
  • Time Tracking – capturing billable and non-billable hours
  • Billing and Invoicing – generating accurate invoices based on work completed
  • Resource Scheduling – allocating team members to different projects
  • Client Portal – providing clients with visibility into their projects

Accelo’s platform stands out by connecting all these functions through a seamless workflow that follows the client journey from initial sales opportunity through project delivery and ongoing service relationships. This integration addresses the significant inefficiencies that occur when service businesses use disconnected tools for different aspects of their operations.
