Case Study: STARK Group achieves modernized internal controls and streamlined reporting with Impero

How STARK Group took a proactive step to strengthen internal controls throughout the entire organization leveraged by Impero’s compliance management platform

STARK Group, a Northern European builder’s merchant with about 10,000 employees and 400+ branches, faced the challenge of consolidating manual, paper-based internal controls and demonstrating consistent, auditable processes across countries. To modernize controls, digitize procedures and centralize evidence collection for stakeholders, STARK chose Impero’s controls and governance platform for its flexibility and documentation capabilities.

Following a 1–2 month benchmarking phase, Impero was implemented in a single day and controls were sent out immediately; the platform centralized workflows, automated documentation and reporting, and let one administrator manage compliance across entities. Impero’s solution delivered measurable efficiencies—replacing manual paperwork with automatic, auditable reports, speeding up control execution and enabling STARK to scale controls and ESG reporting across its 400+ branches and 10,000 employees.
