## Overview

### Key benefits of SYMPAQ SQL

Government contractors can use the electronic time cards interface for one-step import and validation of timekeeping data which is processed as native time card data through the labor and leave module. &#10;&#10;Users can ensure accurate and complete payroll reports with the ADP payroll interface that creates and exports files, and maps the earnings category codes between both ADP and SYMPAQ. &#10;&#10;Contractors can avoid manually re-entering employee reimbursements using the expense import utility which enables companies to import validated expense reports directly into the system.&#10;&#10;SYMPAQ SQL users can take advantage of the Unanet PSA interface that helps organizations to more effectively and accurately plan, track, and manage projects as well as project reporting, resource management, timesheets and more, all via the web.  &#10;&#10;Government contractors can use the payroll module to benefit from auto-generated payroll records with time and attendance data application, as well as determine gross-to-net pay utilizing the federal and state tax tables.

## Reviews

### "Appreciation for Sympaq" — 5.0/5

> **Dolly** | *25 June 2020* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The most important thing about this software was the help/assistance from Sympaq that was always there.  This is very important as the wait time was never was never an issue, the assistance was always knowledgeable and greatly appreciated  and I was on my way again.
> 
> **Cons**: It seemed cumbersome to use was sometimes an issue, yet necessary, to follow through on,  when it does so much for this industry.  So just working with Sympaq to initially understand this increased my appreciation for this then.
> 
> My overall experience with Sympaq was beyond belief.  This program does it all and the help was great, beyond expectations.  I work with many other software and this is top for customer support, that is important to me.  A package as valuable as Sympaq, with the customer assistance, available as necessary, will always be top of my list.  They are always keeping their software updated and staying with industry requirements and demands.  I hope to work with this always.

### "Great for Government Contractors" — 5.0/5

> **Emily** | *10 September 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This system is fairly easy to use and there are a few ways we can customize the system to add additional information for our needs.  We can customize access for different groups who need to access information from the system which is a big plus for us.  Having the timekeeping system linked to the SYMPAQ system is a huge plus for us.  Overall good system to use for government contractors.
> 
> **Cons**: When we have to add charge codes for people or need to turn off charge codes we would like to be able to do this from a central location that would then feed down into individual employees in the system as needed.
> 
> The Customer service is top notch.  They take the time to understand our business needs and help us use the system features to streamline manual processes in an electronic system.

>

### "I have been an extremely satisfied customer since 2007." — 5.0/5

> **Karen** | *29 April 2015*
> 
> I bring over 30 years of Government Contracting experience to my position as Chief Financial Officer of a small business.  I have used other products over the years and have never been more satisfied with an overall product for Government accounting.  The product is easy to use if you have multiple staff members or are running it individually.  The Aldebaron staff is friendly and knowledgeable in both their product and in overall compliance issues.
