Business Process Management
Although most manufacturers do have formal procedures for their core business processes, they often struggle to enforce them in practice and therefore experience some of the same issues as companies without formalized procedures. Without a complete overview of ongoing business processes, managing such processes puts a heavy burden on the management team and requires a lot of manual communication between the parties involved, leading to lack of efficiency and errors made in the transfer of data.
Bluestar’s Business Process Management (BPM), a software BPM Microsoft, allows you to automatically delegate tasks and design, deploy and monitor end-to-end business processes. This helps you achieve a high level of efficiency when executing automated and streamlined work procedures, regardless of the level of complexity, scale and scope.

Tighten enterprise-wide collaboration
Workflows are deployed in enterprise-wide context enabling the entire organization to collaborate more efficiently across departments and locations.
Enforce procedural compliance
Best practice workflows are reused as templates in repetitive business processes ensuring compliance with official procedures.
No coding required
Workflows are quickly designed using intuitive drag and drop functionality making it an easy-to-use tool for non-technical members of staff.

Engineering change management
Revise and manage all your items and related activities so you will always know which is the latest version. With revision you can also backtrack to find out how and when errors or mistakes happened during engineering change processes.
Alerts integration
Initiate a structured search for items, according to given product classes. Narrows down a search, making it easy to reuse certain structures and assemblies from your existing designs.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM integration
Bluestar Designer displays the entire BOM structure and each line from top to bottom level, as well as revision count, quantities, approval status and more.
Logic gates
Stage gates lets users decide which of several tasks in a workflow must be completed to execute the process depending on whether or not certain conditions are met.
Drag and drop workflow design
Gives you an overview of all parts that have similar geometric properties and bounding box with any item selected in CAD.
Audit trail
Reveals which of your existing designs that use items you have inserted into the CAD model you are currently designing.
Task rules
Existing workflows can be saved as best practice templates for reuse in repetitive business processes. This ensures corporate conformance and performance every time.
