About STAR Road
A public works software suite for county and city governments. Provides modules for road and bridge maintenance, noxious weed control, and health department data management, featuring integrated GIS mapping and inventory control.
STAR Programming offers a specialized suite of public works software designed primarily for county and city government departments in Kansas. The core of their product line, STAR Road and STAR Weed, provides comprehensive tools for managing infrastructure maintenance, noxious weed control, and health department records. With a history dating back to 1984, the vendor has evolved from spreadsheet-based tools to a robust relational database platform that integrates GIS mapping for improved spatial analysis. The software is tailored for government entities that require reliable, long-term data tracking for road networks, bridges, and public health assets. While the platform is highly specialized for the public sector, its focus on inventory control and cost reporting makes it a practical solution for local government operations. Users benefit from a system that has been refined over decades to meet the specific regulatory and operational needs of county-level departments, though potential buyers should note that the software is primarily focused on the Kansas public sector market.
