Here’s a piece out of Belgium from Tharsten about some software they’re showing at Labelexpo in Brussels.

Brussels, Belgium – 29 September, 2015 Tharstern, the pioneering specialist software house with over 700 worldwide installations, has today formally unveiled at Labelexpo 2015 in Brussels its latest Management Information System (MIS) functionality for labels.

On its Stand 9A19 in Hall 9 at the show from 29 September to 2 October, Tharstern executives will be handing out free copies of its White Paper for the labels market. The strategy guide for label printers, ‘How Label Printers Can Gain A Competitive Edge”, focuses on in-house plate-making and reprographic services.

The Tharstern MIS now has enhanced functionality for producing roll label quotes, using an intelligent calculation algorithm that automatically analyses different production routes, processes and margins.  Users can select from multiple solutions including best price and best margin. The MIS also support versions for roll label quotes and auto-calculation of cores.

Lee Ward, Tharstern Global Sales Director, said: “We’re already firmly on the radar of so many label printing companies, but know there are many others who are yet to take the full journey into the world of MIS. The label sector increasingly understands the many benefits of using an MIS platform from Tharstern that seamlessly fits into other workflows.

“We look forward to meeting visitors who are keen to find out more about the benefits of using an integrated solution that saves time, speeds up the production process and increases sales and profitability.”

“We will show how they can streamline their production workflow and create efficiencies that will increase the profits of each job as well as provide accurate costings so they focus on the most profitable jobs.”

OPM (Labels and Packaging Group is one happy user of Tharstern systems. “Working with Tharstern feels as if we have gained an internal team with the company as they provide a highly skilled proactive team for service and training,” said Susan Ellison, Commercial Director, OPM. “We would definitely recommend Tharstern to print companies seeking a development partner with the highest levels of professionalism, consistency and reliability.”

Michael Boylan, Managing Director, The Boylan Group, said: “We realised the need for an MIS a long time ago and Tharstern stood out as the ideal solution. Tharstern never stands still when it comes to developing its solutions and the system has proven to be a real asset.”

Tharstern, which underwent a management buyout in July 2014, is celebrating its most successful year ever and has just launched into the United States. The software specialist was started 30 years ago and its client base has now extended to 700 in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Asia.
