Hey, thanks for taking the time to learn about Navo. I'm Dale, one of the co-founders and CEO. I've spent 35 years working at the intersection of technology and manufacturing, and the last seven have been with an aluminum casting manufacturer, working directly with procurement and finance leaders at some of the largest OEMs in the U.S.
When tariffs started shifting, what had long been a back-office task quickly became a board-level concern. Rates that had been two or three percent were suddenly forty, seventy-five, and different on every part.
I became responsible for tracking HTS codes and duty rates for every part we made in a spreadsheet, and had to become the tariff expert overnight.
As calls started coming in from procurement teams to confirm codes and rates, the same thing became clear at every company. Even the largest manufacturers were still working out of spreadsheets.
Incomplete data, no clear picture of duty costs across parts and finished products, and no easy way to understand the impact of a change. Leadership needed answers, but teams were missing the visibility to know what actually made sense.
That's why we built Navo.
The problem wasn't just finding the right tariff rates. It was connecting those rates to the parts manufacturers buy, the suppliers they work with, and the machines they build. ERPs weren't giving teams that picture, and spreadsheets were a difficult way to piece it together.
Navo was built to close that gap. It connects duty data to existing parts and BOMs, giving manufacturers a complete view of their duty costs and exposure. From individual components to finished machines, teams can understand what's driving costs and evaluate changes before making decisions.
We'd welcome the opportunity to show you what we've built and hear how your team is managing duty costs today.
