Nava Benefit Delivery

A flexible approach to benefit delivery systems

At Nava, we believe that applying for and administering benefit programs should be simple, effective, and accessible. We create the best customer experiences, for your constituents and staff, by taking a holistic, flexible approach to blending custom software with commercial products.

Over a decade of delivering human-centered customer experiences

Nava has been trusted to modernize some of the largest benefit delivery systems across federal and state programs. Through a modular approach we will:

Expand your program’s impact by improving usability and accessibility.

Help you save time and money by reducing administrative burden.

Increase trust by building the best user experiences.

Our modular approach


We’ve seen how one-size-fits all solutions—or commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS)—can come with unforeseen costs, are less adaptable, and may take years to implement. Likewise, fully custom solutions can have high up-front costs and require ongoing maintenance. That’s why we take the best aspects of both and leave the rest. Through a combination of commercial products and custom solutions, we ensure the long-term success of your benefit delivery system.

How we work smarter


To help you quickly deliver on your mission, we use defined, flexible patterns that apply across programs. This enables rapid implementation while avoiding expensive workarounds.

Nava exceeds my expectations. This is my first experience building a system like this and you're different than the vendors I'm used to. I'm surprised with the vision Nava has and how much it is aligned with [ours]—how aligned you are with public administration in general. It's because you care about building relationships with all involved.
