From £5M to £20M: How Joblogic Supported Accent Services’ Journey to Scale Accent Services

Managing Director Ian Marriott recognised that paper-based systems were limiting efficiency and oversight as operations expanded nationwide. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, he led the transition to Joblogic to streamline workflows, improve visibility and reduce admin. The system now underpins Accent’s service delivery and plays a key role in supporting the business as it continues to grow.

Their Challenge

Accent Services adopted Joblogic’s field service management software to overcome several long-standing operational challenges that were hampering their efficiency, visibility and scalability

How Joblogic helped

Joblogic helped Accent Services streamline its operations by digitising job management, scheduling, and invoicing processes, reducing paperwork and improving efficiency across the business. This gave the company better visibility over jobs and supported its growth while keeping administrative workload low.

The outcome

Since adopting Joblogic’s facilities management software, Accent Services has seen measurable improvements in their day-to-day efficiency, team coordination, and service delivery

Why The Accent Services chose Joblogic

Accent Services adopted Joblogic’s field service management software to overcome several long-standing operational challenges that were hampering their efficiency, visibility and scalability:

Manual processes were slowing operations

ob scheduling, timesheets and purchase orders were all handled on paper. Joblogic’s job tracking software provided a centralised platform to digitise workflows and reduce admin for both office and field teams.

Visibility across the job lifecycle was limited

Without a unified system, it was difficult to track progress from quote to completion. Joblogic consolidated everything in one place, including engineer notes, purchase orders, reports and site photos.

Invoicing was inefficient and time-consuming

The finance team had to enter invoices manually into Sage, which consumed hours each week. Joblogic’s integration reduced this to minutes by enabling batch posting directly from the platform.

Reporting and insights were hard to access

Financial and operational data had to be manually compiled, slowing down decision-making. With Joblogic, the team gained instant access to live reports, filtered by client, job or timeframe.

The business aimed to go paperless

Ian Marriott set out to eliminate paper from day-to-day operations. Today, the service team works 95 percent paper-free, improving sustainability and removing the need for physical storage.
