ServiceNow partners with CapZone to modernize naval shipbuilding

MOBILE, Ala. - ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW), a prominent player in the software industry with a market capitalization of $198.75 billion, has formed a strategic partnership with CapZone Impact Investments LLC to develop digital solutions for manufacturing facilities, beginning with the modernization of shipbuilding operations in Mobile, Alabama. According to InvestingPro data, ServiceNow maintains impressive gross profit margins of nearly 79%, demonstrating its operational efficiency in delivering enterprise solutions.

The initiative will utilize ServiceNow’s AI Platform as the digital foundation combined with CapZone’s Opportunity Zone investment capabilities to transform naval operations along the Gulf Coast. The partnership aims to help the Department of Defense modernize facilities and improve readiness in response to evolving global challenges. With revenue growth exceeding 21% and a strong financial health score from InvestingPro, ServiceNow demonstrates the financial strength needed to support such large-scale digital transformation projects.

The collaboration brings together CapZone’s expertise in capitalization strategies and fund management with ServiceNow’s solutions in risk management, enterprise asset management, and AI-powered automation. The companies plan to create a scalable solution to accelerate Industry 4.0 initiatives and enhance supply chain visibility.

"By digitally transforming some of our country’s most vital manufacturing infrastructure, we’re not just driving operational efficiencies through boosted productivity, we’re setting a new standard of innovation for building and maintaining naval vessels," said Steve Walters, president, Americas, at ServiceNow.

Earlier this year, CapZone launched the United Submarine Alliance Fund, a private equity Opportunity Zone fund established with the U.S. Navy. The company plans to introduce technology-supported capabilities in Mobile as part of its broader mission to strengthen America’s industrial and military readiness.

The companies will also use the ServiceNow AI Platform to deliver regulatory compliance and reporting functions for Opportunity Zone funds and national security infrastructure investments nationwide.

This announcement comes as Opportunity Zone programs have been made permanent through recent legislation, positioning the partnership to leverage these incentives for infrastructure modernization and defense readiness initiatives.

According to the press release statement, the partnership represents the beginning of a national network of digital solutions for mission-critical manufacturing facilities.
