What Top GovCons Say About Costpoint
"Entering time via [Outlook and Teams] takes about 10-15 seconds, compared to at least a minute when using a browser. This results in significant time savings."
— Srinivas Ratuwar, Director of IT Operations
“When using QuickBooks it would take us on average 8 to 10 hours per month to accurately complete billing. Now with Costpoint, that time is down to approximately 20 or 30 minutes.”
— Aaron Solar, President and Founder
“By incorporating generative AI into GovWin IQ the system can now identify best-fit opportunities…The integration between Costpoint and GovWin saves us an inordinate amount of time.”
— Roy Joun, Chief Financial Officer
“You can’t really quantify the value that Costpoint has added to our business, I don’t know how we would manage if we didn’t have this system in place.”
— Anita Campion, Founder
“Deltek’s new GCCM FedRamp moderate-ready status helps us support CMMC 2.0 compliance.”
— Brian Registe, CFO
“We started seeing immediate improvements across the business in the first five months after moving to Costpoint. Now I’m able to save resources and focus more on my clients.”
