Navigator Systems | Navigator Systems | All through this list of companies displaying at the Summit is the word “leader” or “leading”. But what qualifies them as leaders? They sell more? So does McDonalds, but does that mean they have the best cuisine? Navigator Systems has a passion and a love for the entertainment production industry. This passion has been in place from our days as lighting designers, audio mixers, AV specialists and business managing directors. Our products reflect the reality of how today’s businesses operate. Robust, easy to understand, scalable and simple intuitive layouts that work the way today’s companies operate, the cornerstone of our development is the HireTrack line of software. HireTrack manages the process from the opportunity to the quote, from the quote to the equipment management & packaging, from labor & truck scheduling to job costing to invoicing & profitability calculations. Our staff has filled trucks with equipment, done 3 AM load outs, built extensive light & sound rigs, created quotes, calculated job profitability and equipment return on investments. Our software has been developed based not only on those experiences, but also on the experiences of some of the largest lighting & sound companies in the world. If you want marketing jargon…go see them. But if you want industry experience… Come by and see us. No one loves what you do more than Navigator Systems.
