Your Hands-On Technology Partner
Your team wasn’t hired to copy and paste.
We find the work in your business that is slow, stuck, or still done by hand, build the fix, and stay on to run it. Working systems in weeks, not months.

Who We Work With
Real businesses. Real systems.
Every engagement is hands-on and ongoing — strategy, build, and the support that keeps it working afterwards.

BN Reports
Home Inspection SoftwareBN Reports runs an all-in-one platform for Canadian home inspectors — AI-assisted reports, a mobile app, scheduling, and a client portal. We work on the product itself.
-
Team 14
Motorsport · OttawaTeam 14 is an Ottawa rally team that runs a 1,200 hp Ferrari SF90 in the Gumball 3000. We built the site that sells their sponsorship: the rally record, a sponsor page that maps every panel of the car’s livery to the tier that buys it, and a business-case model sponsors can adjust themselves.
-
DP World
Logistics · PeruThree people at DP World’s Peru operation pulled carrier rates, compared competitors and built reports by hand every day. We replaced it with a system that compares pricing automatically and flags what changed.

- Every morning a clear summary of pricing shifts, risks, and opportunities
- Fewer errors missed fees and quoting mistakes caught automatically
What You Get, Free
One call. A map of where your money is leaking.
Thirty minutes, no preparation, no obligation. We walk through how work actually happens in your business and you leave with three things — whether or not you ever hire us.
-
01
A map of your process
How work moves today, and the specific points where it stalls, gets repeated, or breaks down between people.
-
02
A number on the waste
Hours lost each week, the mistakes they tend to cause, and what that adds up to in payroll across a year.
-
03
A recommended first move
The one change with the fastest payback — and an honest answer if we don’t think there is one worth making yet.
Use Cases
Where we usually save teams the most time and money.
If any of these sound like your week, there is almost certainly time and margin to recover. We fix the one with the biggest payback first, then work down the list.
-
Sales
Lead generation handoff
New leads from forms, inboxes, and ads land in one place — so nobody gets missed and follow-up happens same day.
-
Sales
Quote and proposal speed
Quotes go out in minutes instead of days, with pricing, scope, and terms that don't need correcting later.
-
Finance
Invoice follow-up
Reminders go out on schedule without anyone remembering to send them — money arrives sooner.
-
Service
Customer onboarding
Every new client gets the same complete start, without depending on who happens to be handling them.
-
Ops
Reporting and summaries
The weekly report builds itself and lands on time — same format, same numbers, no Friday scramble.
-
Ops
The spreadsheet that runs the business
That one giant workbook everyone is afraid to touch becomes a proper tool — same logic, fewer breakages, safe for more than one person to use.
-
Build
Custom software
When no off-the-shelf tool fits the job, we build the one that does — working alongside the software you already run, and we stay on to keep it working.
-
Web
Website design and build
A fast, credible site that says plainly what you do — built, then kept current instead of left to age.
-
Team
AI enablement and training
Talks, team workshops, and hands-on sessions grounded in the work your people do each day — so the tools get used after the session, not just seen in it.
Also common
- Lead enrichment — company and contact details fill themselves in.
- Document comparison — changes between contract versions surface in minutes.
- Support triage — requests reach the right person immediately.
- Expense and receipt handling — captured, coded, and routed as they happen.
- Approval bottlenecks — clear ownership, automatic nudges, visible status.
How It Works
From first call to measurable savings.
Most first wins go live in two to four weeks. Here is what happens between the call and the savings showing up.
-
01
Let’s Talk
Thirty minutes on where work feels slow, repetitive, or expensive. Nothing to prepare — just show us what a normal week looks like.
-
02
Map the Opportunity
We follow the work step by step, put numbers on where time disappears, and rank the fixes by what they actually return.
-
03
Build the Plan
What we would change, what it costs, and when the savings should appear — in writing, before you commit to anything.
-
04
Make It Real
We build it around the tools you already use, so nobody has to learn a new system or migrate anything to get value.
-
05
Launch, Learn, Support
We keep running it. Monitoring, updates, and tuning as your business changes — so the savings hold instead of fading once attention moves on.
About Acceleris Labs
You bring the problem. We take it from there.
We go into the finance, sales, or service work that is quietly eating your week, fix it, and then run it for you — so your team stays on customers and growth instead of maintenance.
Automation projects usually fail for boring reasons: the fix was built for a process nobody actually follows, or it worked until something changed and no one owned it. We work the other way round — start from how your team really operates, keep the tools they already know, and stay on afterwards. Walk through the five steps.
- Recommendations in plain language, with the reasoning shown.
- Built on the tools you already use — no migration, no new logins to learn.
- Ongoing support, so savings keep holding as the business changes.
AI enablement: talks and training
Most teams have access to AI already and still are not getting much from it. We run sessions that fix that — conference talks, team workshops, and hands-on training grounded in the actual work your people do each day, not demos of tools they will never open again. Sessions can stand alone, or come with a build so the team is confident running what we hand over.
The Difference
We do not build it and disappear.
Most teams lose value after launch because no one owns upkeep. We stay on as your partner to monitor, maintain, and improve the service over time.
- Fewer outages and surprises because someone is accountable.
- Better long-term results as your process evolves.
- Less internal workload because your team is not left to manage the system alone.
Who You Work With
Brent Steele, founder
Every client works with me directly — discovery through delivery through ongoing optimization — so nothing gets lost in the handoff between whoever sold the work and whoever does it.
My background is modernization and transformation in regulated, data-sensitive environments: research, analytics, governance, and process redesign. That is why the work here leans on measurement and accountability rather than tooling for its own sake.
- Find where time, money, and quality are being lost — then fix the highest-impact one first.
- Turn strategy into plans a team can actually execute.
- Put governance and controls in place so improvements hold up as you grow.
- Stay hands-on after launch, rather than delivering a one-time project.
Also On Your Engagement
Elen, client enablement
Brent builds the work; Elen makes sure it lands. She takes the intake call when a new request comes in, keeps the scope honest about what fits your budget and the tools you already run, and checks in as each piece goes live.
Once something is built, she trains your team to use it — and to use tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot in their own work — one to one or as a group, always in your actual workflows rather than a demo.
- Intake and scoping for new requests, so the build starts from the real problem.
- Check-ins between deliverables, and a straight answer on what is worth doing next.
- Guides, templates, and playbooks your team keeps after the session.
- Training grounded in your work, with a person reviewing anything before it reaches a customer.

Put those hours back into revenue work, faster billing, and better customer service. We handle setup and support so the savings are real, not theoretical.
Want to know if that number is real?
Book the free consultation and we will check the math against your actual process — where the hours really go, which ones are recoverable, and what it would take. Thirty minutes with Brent, no obligation either way.
Before You Ask
The questions we get first.
How much does this cost?
The consultation is free. After it, you get a written plan with the cost of the work and when the savings should start — before you commit to anything. We scope to what the fix is worth, so if the numbers don't clear the bar, we tell you rather than sell you.
How long before we see anything working?
Most first fixes go live in two to four weeks. We deliberately start with one process rather than a broad rollout, so you get something real and measurable quickly instead of a long project with a distant payoff.
Do we need technical people on our side?
No. We build it, launch it, and keep running it. Your team's job is to explain how the work happens today and to use the result — not to maintain anything.
Do we have to switch tools or move our data?
No. We build around the software you already use. Everything we build sits on top of your existing tools, so there is nothing to migrate and no new system for your team to learn.
What if you look at our process and there's nothing worth fixing?
Then we say so on the call, and you have lost thirty minutes and gained a clear map of your own process. We would rather turn down work than build something that doesn't pay for itself.
What happens once it's live?
We stay on. Monitoring, updates, and tuning as the business changes are part of the service, because the usual reason automation stops paying off is that nobody owned it after launch.
Are we too small for this?
If a task repeats every week and eats hours, there is usually something worth recovering — regardless of headcount. The consultation is the cheapest way to find out, and it costs you nothing.
