Continuous Product Innovation Driving Success
These recognitions reflect our continued investment in improving both platforms and delivering new capabilities for professional services teams.
In early 2026, Forecast released updates to timesheet approvals, retainer insights, and enhancements to financial category management.
In 2025, we launched updates to our mobile app, automated project billing progress fields, strengthened password security requirements, and introduced Multi-Currency Invoicing, enabling users to create invoices in various currencies, simplifying international billing, and supporting global business operations. We also released Tentative Scheduling, providing teams a new way to plan upcoming projects directly from the Quote stage. By providing visibility into the sales pipeline, project managers can estimate timelines, assign teams, and review the impact on resourcing before a deal is finalized.
Furthermore, our ongoing improvements to Accelo v4 have focused on streamlining workflows and modernizing the user interface, resulting in a more intuitive and efficient platform that simplifies and strengthens how organizations manage projects from quote to cash.
Looking Ahead: AI-Powered Professional Services Operations
As professional services organizations face increasing pressure to deliver projects faster, protect margins, and scale efficiently, AI is becoming a critical capability within services operations platforms.
Across Accelo and Forecast, we are continuing to expand how artificial intelligence supports professional services teams, helping them plan smarter, automate manual work, and make faster, data-driven decisions.
Today, teams already benefit from AI-driven resource allocation and capacity forecasting, which help identify potential scheduling conflicts, highlight over- or under-allocation, and automatically recommend optimized project schedules.
Looking ahead, we are continuing to build AI capabilities designed to further streamline operations, including:
- MCP intelligence that connects delivery data to LLMs like Claude or Gemini Pro, to run queries using natural language prompts.
- Capacity assistance that help managers staff projects faster and more accurately.
- Predictive insights that surface potential project risks before they impact delivery or profitability.
- AI-assisted project planning and scenario modeling that helps teams generate schedules, timelines, and allocations more efficiently, even as scope changes.
- Agentic workflows to automatically detect missing time entry or conflicting data.
Together, these innovations aim to reduce manual planning, improve delivery predictability, and give professional services teams the insights they need to run healthier, more profitable businesses. Learn more about AI in professional services and what's ahead.
