Navigator International Achieves Growth Objectives with Unanet and GovConPay
Navigator International
Navigator International is an entrepreneurial company pursuing, winning, and performing across multiple disciplines, building on the talents, experience, and motivation of a growing team of highly dedicated professionals.
- Established in 2005 as a subsidiary of Navigator Development Group, Inc.
- In 2013, NI separated from NDGI with 5 employees and gross revenues of $3.5M in its subsequent year of operation.
- In its ensuing 7 years of operation, it has grown to 330 employees with annual revenues of $38M.
- Current contracts cover a wide range of activities: international/ domestic construction, aircraft maintenance, the development and implementation of interactive 3D models and simulations for military training, and more.
The Challenges
In order to meet the requirements of their contracts, Navigator International needed a widely dispersed global workforce with a broad range of skills and capabilities—and payroll and ERP solutions that seamlessly worked together to manage this workforce.
In addition, in 2019, the NI team established a strategic growth goal of employing at least 500 employees and achieving annual revenues of at least $100M annually by the end of 2024.
Before realizing this growth, NI first needed to overcome some crucial challenges:
-
QuickBooks and eFaact, their existing payroll and ERP solutions, could not properly manage their complex payroll processes and schedules.
-
The NI team lacked crucial real-time data and was unable to confidently measure progress toward their growth goal.
-
Their existing systems were cumbersome, unintuitive, and at times, prevented them from bidding on new work.
-
Upper management spent too much time doing task-based activities, which increased overhead and prevented them from focusing on strategic goals.
We are growing fast, and using Unanet and GovConPay together has allowed us to be more mobile; abandon paper processes; consolidate our people, processes, and tools; and automate and streamline our organization.
The Solution
NI is using Unanet Project Portfolio Financials Plus and integrates their payroll system, GovConPay, with Unanet. After an extensive review across multiple solution options, the combination of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) features of Unanet combined with GovConPay was chosen as best fit for NI, providing best value for the investment.
Utilizing Unanet and GovConPay has been exceptional. NI leadership and staff management now have significantly enhanced management capabilities.
