About Starboard Group
Starboard Group is a multi-state quick-service restaurant operator with over 500 employees spread across multiple entities and locations. As the company grew, so did the complexity of their payroll operations, requiring a solution that could scale with their business.
The Challenge
With employees in multiple states and across different business entities, Starboard Group faced significant payroll complexity. Each entity had its own tax requirements, pay schedules, and compliance obligations. The existing payroll process was consuming far too much time and required extensive manual coordination between locations, leaving the operations team stretched thin.
The Symply Solution
Symply provided Starboard Group with a unified payroll platform capable of handling multi-entity, multi-state payroll from a single dashboard. The system automatically managed state-level tax calculations, entity-specific configurations, and consolidated reporting. The implementation was designed to be fast and minimally disruptive to ongoing operations.
The Results
Starboard Group saw transformative results almost immediately. Payroll processing time was reduced by two-thirds, freeing up the operations team to focus on running and growing the business. The full implementation — including data migration, employee setup, and system configuration — was completed in under one month, far faster than the industry average. Multi-state compliance became automated, eliminating the manual tracking that had previously been a major pain point.
