“As a reel-fed printing company based in NZ we thought we were taking a punt going with a UK developed product but we have never regretted the decision. 

The software is very user friendly and I have to say that we have been delighted with the support that we have received from the team at Tharstern. 

A huge bonus for us has been how hard (and successfully) they have pushed for product development to suit our unique processes. 

Nothing is ever too much trouble and I have no hesitation recommending them."

Camilla Welch, Label and Litho Limited, NZ

 

"Installation of the Tharstern MIS has complemented our ISO9001 certified management system by increasing the accuracy and speed of processing information.

The software systemises our management systems which takes the dependency off key personnel and into the system itself. That is, the value of the business resides less in individuals and more in a system, which results in a more sustainable and saleable business.

We realise we still have a long way to go in fully utilizing all the system has to offer but that is a reflection on how sophisticated it is and why we believe Tharstern will remain of value to our business in future."

Doug Rae, ecoDesign ecoPrint, Australia

"Tharstern NZ has been terrific in helping us to iron out all the crinkles in our costings and creating an environment where we can monitor and measure each and every job with little effort. 

The myriad of factors that are required in the print industry have been incorporated into our costings to give confidence in our numbers allowing smarter business decisions to be made before taking on jobs making us pro-active and not re-active."

Donna Hawes, Blueprint Media, NZ

"Simply put: TharsternSQL is the kind of product you don’t want your competitors to get their hands on.
It is a major part of our competitive advantage and although we know it’s not possible, in a perfect world,
it would be our secret weapon.  

We’re very committed to the software and appreciate how the team behind it are truly committed to us.

We can and do, recommend it to anyone who is looking for (what we think is) the best print MIS solution available."

Peter Moore, Taieri Print Limited, NZ


 

"At Prestige Print, we were impressed by Tharstern at the initial demonstration. Since implementation and go-live, we continue to be impressed. 

TharsternSQL is powerful software that fulfils all our needs. While still in the early stages (and going through an extensive learning curve) we are comforted to know that the Tharstern team is just a phone call away. We moved from an old Print Management System supported by an overseas company and frankly, we have never looked back.”

Stephanie Walker, Prestige Print Limited, NZ

 

"We’ve found that TharsternSQL has amply repaid the time we have invested into setting it up. 

It is our model employee; always there, always helpful, never grumpy and happy with the occasional upgrade instead of wages. 

The more you put into it the more you will get out of it and the support team is always eager to help us achieve this."

Steve Hart, Hampton Print Limited, NZ



  

"Mosaic moved us across to the new platform, developed our system users and designed a reporting suite to bring all aspects of the business into a managed format. The process of systems upgrade is not for the faint hearted but the Mosaic team have stood behind the promise from the first day. 

Most pleasing is that they have continued to develop not just the computer solution but also our staff so that they understand the whole system and the relevance of the staff members' individual functions. The end result is reliable live data presented in a user friendly form that can be easily validated and interpreted. Communication has improved, costs have reduced and job efficiency has followed.

We have loaded our forecast jobs into the Tharstern planner and this assists us to plan effectively for the future highlighting plant capacity issues, staffing requirements, job conflicts and more accurate raw material purchasing. We have moved from reactionary to proactive due to this powerful tool."

Boyd Wilton, Logan Print Limited, NZ

                                                       

"Lilyfield had been using another MIS for many years which had performed the role that it was initially installed for but did not have the capability to support our future goals and give us a competitive advantage.

After much investigation, we selected the Tharstern MIS and ecommerce solution (e4print) as it provided all the capabilities and functionality that we needed.

We have been using the system for two years now and the system has performed above our expectations. We can directly attribute significant improvements in our process and efficiency directly to the Tharstern system.”

Ian Kingham, Director, STI Lilyfield, AU

"The Tharstern MIS system has provided Southern Colour Print with the mechanism to truly understand the drivers of the business. 

The functionality and ease of data extraction makes Tharstern a powerful tool.  These attributes have had a direct positive effect on margins the business generates."

Sean McMahon, Southern Colour Print, NZ


 


  

"Keyprint have been a user of TharsternSQL since September 2004.  During this time existing staff found this product easy to use and new staff members were quick to pick up on its use.  Having just gone through the FSC, PEFC accreditation process, it proved invaluable to show that we used a software product where we were able to track our stock from requisition to the delivery of the final printed product with all COC requirements satisfied.

 Keyprint have been more than happy with the Tharstern SQL product.  We have always found the staff at Tharstern NZ a pleasure to deal with and when we need their support, they are there to help us.  I thoroughly endorse both the company and their product."

Gavin Keys, Keyprint Printing Ltd, NZ

 

"Tharstern has bought together four operating systems within our company to just one system.

While the training is intense the trainers set the tasks at a manageable rate.

From the first viewing of Tharstern T3 at IPEX I am still amazed at the new parts that evolve out of the software.

The more you get into it the more you can get out of it, freeing up valuable hours to concentrate on running the business."

Steve Bright, Bart N Print, Australia
