Most manufacturing organisations have KPIs, scorecards, and monthly MIS packs — but they are assembled by hand, sit in spreadsheets, and arrive days after the moment to act has passed.
STARRboard replaces that entire cycle with a live, automated, integrated system — so leadership always knows what is happening, who owns it, and what needs to happen next.
A mid-to-large manufacturing group typically has 4–8 people across plants and HQ spending 40–60 hours every month assembling MIS reports. At a conservative fully-loaded cost, that is ₹8–12 lakhs annually — in hidden labour alone. Before factoring in the decisions delayed, the exceptions missed, and the accountability not enforced because data arrived too late.
STARRboard eliminates that cycle from Month 1. Reports auto-generate. Data flows from systems. Leadership sees what matters before the meeting, not during it.
"If leadership is out of office for 90 days — what stops? In most businesses, the honest answer is: almost everything that matters."
The STARRboard Management ChallengePlant OEE, rejection rates, dispatch adherence, and inventory sit in isolated systems. The group never has one accurate, consolidated picture in real time.
When the MIS arrives 5 days after month-end, the window to correct a quality issue, a dispatch gap, or a cash position has already closed.
Targets are set, then tracked informally. There is no system enforcing ownership, flagging deviations, or connecting KPI scores to appraisal outcomes.
When rating decisions are not driven by live scorecard data, the appraisal cycle generates resentment, not motivation — and incentives are not consequential.
If the person who builds the MIS leaves, the MIS breaks. Knowledge about how to run performance reporting lives in individuals, not in a system.
STARRboard is not a standalone BI tool, an HR software, or a dashboard product. It is a Management Operating System — 37 integrated modules — that connects your KPI framework to your data sources, automates your MIS, puts live scorecards in every manager's hands, and links performance outcomes to appraisals and rewards. All in one platform.
For this engagement, we activate the modules that directly serve the PMS and BI objective. As your needs grow, every other module is available at no additional license cost.
Replace manual report assembly with a live data platform connected to every system in your organisation. Reports generate themselves. Dashboards update in real time.
Move from informal KPI tracking to a structured, weighted scorecard system where every role has defined targets, every month has an actual, and every score is computed — not negotiated.
Close the loop between daily KPI performance and annual appraisal outcomes — so that what gets measured, gets managed, and what gets managed, gets rewarded.
Click through each service layer to see the specific modules, deliverables, and what a live implementation looks like.
Every KPI mapped to its source system. Every report scheduled and distributed. Every exception surfaced the moment it occurs — not when someone notices at month-end.
STARRboard connects to SAP, Oracle EBS, Tally, custom MES and QMS systems, HRMS, and spreadsheets. For auto-trackable KPIs: API or scheduled data pull. For manual-entry KPIs: structured entry workflow with validation and approval routing.
Report Builder generates and distributes each MIS pack automatically: Daily Operations, Weekly Summary, Monthly Corporate MIS (P&L, OEE, Quality, Dispatch, Inventory), and functional MIS for Supply Chain, HR, and Finance — sent to defined recipient lists, on schedule, every time.
Board & MD: 8–10 headline KPIs with trend, target vs actual, plant comparison. Plant Head: shift-wise production, quality, energy, attendance. CFO: P&L, working capital, variance. Functional Heads: department-specific live views. All mobile-accessible.
When production falls below plan, when PPM exceeds threshold, when inventory hits a critical level — the right person receives an alert before the review meeting. Not after.
A phased engagement built to deliver usable value at every stage — not one large drop at the end. The goal is capability in your team, not dependency on ours.
We begin with a structured discovery session — reviewing your existing KPI framework, auditing data sources, mapping integration points, and designing the platform architecture. No assumptions. No generic templates. Everything is built from your actual operating context.
KPI Framework ReviewExisting KPIs, targets, weights, rating bands reviewed and mapped into STARRboard's KPI library
Data Source AuditEvery source system — ERP, MES, QMS, HRMS, accounting — identified and integration feasibility confirmed
Org Structure MappingPlant hierarchy, reporting lines, functional structure, and user roles configured in STARRboard
MIS Format DesignExisting report formats reviewed. New automated MIS layouts agreed with leadership and Finance
The technical foundation. We build and test every data connector, configure ETL pipelines, and populate the central data warehouse with a 24-month historical load. Quality gates are applied at every stage — clean data in, clean data out.
API & System IntegrationsLive connections built from STARRboard to ERP, MES, QMS, HRMS, and finance systems
Manual Entry WorkflowsFor KPIs without a system source: structured entry forms with validation, approval routing, and SLA tracking
Data Quality ControlsValidation rules configured — completeness, timeliness, and range checks — with exception alerts for data quality breaches
Historical Data Load24 months of performance data loaded to enable trend analysis and baseline reporting from Day 1
With data flowing, we build every dashboard, configure every scorecard, automate every MIS report, and set up the review cadence in Meetings. User acceptance testing is conducted with department heads — every output validated against your current reports before sign-off.
Dashboard BuildBoard, Plant Head, CFO, and Functional dashboards configured with agreed KPI views and live data
BullsEye Scorecard ConfigurationWeighted scorecards activated for all roles — targets, weights, and rating bands applied from the KPI library
MIS AutomationReport Builder set up for all packs — Daily, Weekly, Monthly. Distribution lists configured. Schedule activated.
Review Cadence SetupMeetings module configured for Daily Ops, Weekly Reviews, and Monthly MBR — agendas, MOM, action routing
We run a two-week parallel period alongside existing reports — so there is no cliff edge. Role-based training is delivered to every user group. The first MBR is facilitated by the STARR team. Internal champions are certified. Handover documentation is complete before we step back.
Role-Based TrainingSeparate sessions for Board/Leadership, Plant Heads, Finance/HR, and data entry teams — practical, not classroom
First MBR on STARRboardMonthly Business Review facilitated by STARR team — leadership uses live data, not a prepared deck, for the first time

Handover & AMCAdmin guide, SOPs, and support contacts handed over. AMC begins. Implementation team steps back.
Choose based on your internal capacity, your timeline, and how much hand-holding you want. Both paths get you to a live, automated PMS on STARRboard.
For organisations with an internal project champion — IT resources, a dedicated HR or Finance lead, and the bandwidth to drive the implementation themselves. STARRboard provides everything you need to go live without external consultants.
Setup wizard walks you through org structure, user provisioning, and your first KPI configuration step by step.
Training videos and step-by-step documentation for every module — organised by role, so each user sees only what is relevant to them.
STARRboard support team available during business hours for configuration help, troubleshooting, and data mapping queries.
Scheduled review calls with a STARRboard success manager to assess adoption, resolve blockers, and plan next steps.
For organisations that want it done right, done fast, and without pulling internal teams off their day jobs. STARR's consultants handle everything — from data source mapping and ERP integration to go-live, the first MBR, and champion certification.

ERP, MES, QMS, and HRMS integrations built and tested. All scorecards, dashboards, and MIS automation configured by our team.
Role-based training for every user group. Two-week parallel run. Go-live confirmed only after UAT sign-off from leadership.
STARR facilitates the first Monthly Business Review on live STARRboard data. Champions certified. AMC begins.
Not sure which path is right? Organisations with 3+ plants, multiple ERP systems, or no existing KPI framework consistently get to go-live faster with expert-led delivery — and with fewer false starts. Self-guided works well when a strong internal project champion exists and the KPI framework is already defined.
