Case Study: Navigator International achieves strategic growth and streamlined operations with Unanet

Navigator International Achieves Growth Objectives with Unanet and GovConPay

Navigator International is an entrepreneurial government contractor that grew from a five‑person startup into a 330‑employee firm with diverse contracts across construction, aircraft maintenance and military training. To support an aggressive growth goal (500 employees and $100M in revenue by 2024) NI needed payroll and ERP systems that could manage a widely dispersed, skilled workforce, but legacy tools (QuickBooks and eFaact) lacked real‑time data, were cumbersome, and at times prevented bidding and strategic focus.

After evaluating options, NI implemented Unanet Project Portfolio Financials Plus integrated with GovConPay, combining DCAA‑compliant ERP and unified payroll/HCM. The integrated platform delivered employee self‑service, real‑time management information down to the project level, streamlined contract‑level organization, and freed executives from task work—putting the company in a stronger, measurable position to reach its growth objectives.
