The automotive industry continues to rapidly evolve, with increasing demand for better data A Cross-The Retail Delivery Report was released earlier this week. This milestone would not have been possible without strong collaboration across the STAR community. OEM members worked closely with STAR’s team on real-world Retail Delivery Report use cases that deliver beyond theoretical—but are instead practical, tested, and ready for adoption.
The RDR addition includes:
- Standardized API for Retail Delivery Report
- Samples for Retail Delivery Report
- New and extended schema elements across multiple domains
- Harmonized data structures aligned with real-world use cases
- Support for end-to-end reporting workflows
These assets are designed to be:
- Implementation-ready
- Flexible across different system architectures
- Aligned with modern Domain Driven Design methodology design principles
Industry Collaboration Providing Real Value:
The addition of RDR to the STAR Domain Model represents a meaningful step forward in:
Standardization: Creating a consistent way to represent and exchange delivery data across the industry
Interoperability: Reducing friction between OEMs, dealers, and technology providers
Implementation Speed: Helping organizations adopt standardized integrations more quickly
Future Innovation: Providing a strong foundation for analytics, automation, and AI-driven insights
What’s Ahead?
Retail Delivery Report is just one part of STAR’s broader effort to modernize automotive data standards. STAR will continue to:
- Expand the domain model with additional real-world use cases
- Enhance tooling and documentation to support adoption
- Explore AI-driven capabilities and intelligent data platforms
- Support members through implementation and integration
All STAR members are encouraged to review the latest domain model updates, explore the RDR APIs and schemas, provide feedback, and participate in ongoing workgroups. Together, we can build a more connected, efficient, and innovative automotive ecosystem.
