Getting Started with the Proximity Client Portal
Proximity, Navisite’s new client portal, is designed to boost transparency and make key information and functionality readily accessible. As your primary client interface, Proximity will be the best place from which to monitor and manage your Navisite relationship. While Proximity offers some of the most requested features of our existing portals—with a simplified interface and enhanced functionality—NaviView will also remain available near-term.

Our goal with Proximity is to provide you with real-time, easy to find information available at your fingertips.
