Winning in the public sector requires early visibility, account context, budget awareness, contact intelligence, competitive insight and the ability to understand what agencies are likely to do next.
That is why Industry Navigator was built.
For over two decades, Industry Navigator has been the public-sector market intelligence platform that instantly delivers tailored insights to help sales and marketing teams identify, qualify, the public-sector market intelligence platform that instantly delivers tailored insights to help sales and marketing teams identify, qualify and win state and local government and education (SLED) IT opportunities.

Meet Navi
Navi is the AI assistant inside Industry Navigator.
Navi helps sales and marketing professionals in SLED ask questions in natural language and receive immediate, synthesized answers from Industry Navigator’s deep SLED intelligence foundation.
Instead of starting with a search, applying filters and manually connecting insights across accounts, bids, budgets, contacts and vendors, users can now start with a question.
Questions like:
“Which agencies are most likely to issue cybersecurity RFPs?”
“Who is the incumbent for this opportunity?”
“What upcoming contracts should my team be watching?”
“Which accounts in my territory should I prioritize?”
Navi helps turn those questions into immediate answers — and helps users move from insight to action faster.
From search to answers
The SLED market moves through long, complex buying cycles. By the time an opportunity becomes a public RFP, competitors may already understand the agency, know the incumbent, track the budget and have relationships in place.
That is why speed matters.
Industry Navigator already gives teams access to early opportunity signals, agency profiles, strategic plans, award data, verified contacts, market insights, grants intelligence and procurement activity.
Navi helps users uncover and make sense of that intelligence faster.
It represents a shift from searching for information to getting answers. From navigating data to acting on insight. From tool to assistant.
