Case Study: Nav accelerates software development with Factory

How Nav Accelerated Software Development with Factory

Nav, a fintech company serving small businesses, faced significant challenges in accelerating its software development while handling sensitive financial data. Their engineering teams were slowed down by constant context-switching between fragmented tools like GitLab, Jira, and Confluence. The CTO noted that while tools like GitHub Copilot helped write code faster, the major hurdle was the time spent gathering requirements and understanding context across a legacy Rails monolith and newer Java services, all while maintaining strict security and compliance.

Factory provided an agentic AI platform that integrated with Nav's existing tools to automatically unify all engineering context. The solution enabled engineers to start tasks with all relevant information already gathered, leading to a 60% reduction in context-switching time and feature development cycles that were twice as fast. Factory's implementation helped Nav accelerate development, improve cross-team collaboration, and confidently launch a major update to their credit monitoring system without compromising security.
