NavJun vs Source Intelligence

NavJun vs. Source Intelligence: which is right for hardware compliance?

Source Intelligence is an enterprise supply chain compliance platform built for complex global manufacturers that need to automate data collection and risk workflows across thousands of suppliers. NavJun is a conversational AI copilot built for product teams that need clarity about a specific product's regulatory obligations, in minutes, without a sales cycle. They serve different buyers: if your problem is supplier data, look at Source Intelligence; if your problem is “what applies to my product,” look at NavJun.

WHEN TO PICK WHICH

Two honest takes

You might choose Source Intelligence if…

→ You run a supply chain compliance program at enterprise scale, collecting data from thousands of suppliers on REACH, RoHS, conflict minerals, packaging waste.

→ You need supplier data aggregation and risk visualization across a tier-N supply chain, not answers to a specific product question.

→ You have budget and cycle time for enterprise procurement. Sales-led, multi-month onboarding.

→ You already have a regulatory affairs team telling you what the regulations are, and need a tool that helps prove compliance across the supply base.

You should choose NavJun if…

→ You're a product team asking what compliance applies to your specific product, not a supply chain team managing supplier attestations.

→ You want answers in minutes, typed in plain English, with citations you can take to a test lab or a notified body.

→ You're mid-market, not enterprise. Transparent pricing from $29 USD/mo, no RFP, no 12-week procurement.

→ You need hardware- and electronics-specific context (Class II lighting controllers, IoT sensors, medical wearables) and which of CE / FCC / IEC / RoHS / EU CRA / UKCA actually apply.

SCENARIO

A 30-person connected-device manufacturer planning EU + APAC launch

A mid-market company making industrial IoT sensors is preparing to launch in EU (CE, CRA), Japan (PSE, Radio Law), and Australia (ACMA). Their supply chain has roughly 80 suppliers across four countries. They have one full-time compliance engineer and one part-time consultant.

With Source Intelligence

Question they're answering: “how do we collect, validate, and operationalize compliance data from 80 suppliers?” Source Intelligence helps them stand up supplier outreach workflows, aggregate REACH and RoHS declarations, and show auditors a defensible trail.

Getting the platform live is a multi-month enterprise engagement with a contract and an implementation plan.

With NavJun

Question they're answering: “for this sensor, what do we actually need to do to ship legally in EU, Japan, and Australia in Q4?” They ask NavJun one product-specific question per market, get cited answers in minutes.

Their compliance engineer uses those answers to brief the rest of the product team and plan the test-lab work. When it's time to collect supplier RoHS declarations, NavJun isn't the tool. A supplier-data platform is.

Most hardware teams in this size range need both tools eventually: NavJun to figure out what the regulations demand of the product, and (at scale) Source Intelligence to manage the supplier data that proves it. They're not directly competitive, they're sequential.

BEING HONEST

What Source Intelligence does that NavJun doesn't

Supplier data collection at scale

Source Intelligence's whole product is built around pulling attestations, declarations, and documentation from a supply base and turning that into a compliance record of truth.

Deep supply chain visibility

Tier-N supplier mapping, risk scoring across suppliers, traceability for conflict minerals and forced labor. NavJun does not do supply chain data aggregation.

Enterprise workflow & audit features

For compliance teams whose output is auditor-ready documentation, not product decisions.

Established footprint

Source Intelligence is an established enterprise vendor; NavJun is a new product spinning out of an 8-year consultancy.

If your compliance problem is shaped like “managing 500 suppliers across 3 continents,” Source Intelligence is the tool. NavJun is not.
