We believe in the power of being bionic, of harnessing the power of TECHNOLOGY and PEOPLE and helping them work together, to achieve something remarkable.
That's why we created Tharstern Cloud for labels - a powerful workflow management system that gives you the power to do cool things with technology AND build an engaged culture.
Using our API First approach, we’ve created an MIS that you can connect to anything you want, using your own team.
This is not just a web-based MIS that’s been migrated to the Cloud – our MIS solution offers world-class security, availability and almost unlimited scalability!
Use your MIS to communicate and engage with your employees and measure their happiness and satisfaction levels.

Helps estimators find that optimal crossover point by automatically considering conventional, digital, and even hybrid printing without the estimator needing to change process or production specification.
As well as supporting an unlimited number of sorts, our quoting system gives the estimator the ability to optimize production runs by planning sorts across each lane, as well as identification of same color plate changes.
Helps the estimator find suitable cutters from their existing library as well as automatically calculating costs of alternative new cutters for optimal production.
With the addition of digital printing and high gamut color range, estimating allows the comparison of simulated Pantone colors against pre-mixed inks without the need to change the product specification.
Organize the products your business sells into an easy-to-use catalog. Catalog items can be any manufactured product, goods item you resell, or even raw materials. They can be generic or customer-specific and have their own pricing method and availability periods.
Price methods support cost plus, value based and unit price. All price methods can be scaled based on value or quantity, for unit price methods. For example, VA can be reduced the higher the sales value.
We created Tharstern Cloud using an API First Approach, which means that every single data object within the MIS is accessible for you to read, write and interrogate. So your developers can easily connect Tharstern Cloud to other software applications and instruct it to carry out actions such as creating quotes.
Link Tharstern Cloud to 3000+ cloud products such as Slack, Trello, and Mailchimp, using the Zapier automation platform.
Use our Quote Kanban to stay organized and quickly identify quotes that need following up.
Create tasks for yourself and your colleagues and assign due dates, set reminders, and specify required actions and priorities. All tasks are accessed in a neat dashboard, where you can create filtered views and save them for later use.
Tharstern Academy is our online learning platform, offering training classes, on-demand videos, and a variety of certification programs for different learning pathways. Our implementation team also uses this platform to deliver live classroom-style sessions, set “homework” and conduct one-to-one learning.
Improve communication and employee engagement by creating a virtual noticeboard for your company on Tharstern Cloud. Add your social media feeds, announcements, corporate news and events – anything you want! You can make use of our free read-only licenses, to ensure that all your team are kept up to date with company news.
Measure and monitor how engaged your employees are using the employee engagement dashboard. Questions are delivered directly via Tharstern Cloud, and the results measured on the themes of Belonging, Health, Happiness, Manager Relationship, Teamwork, and Progression, along with an overall engagement score tracked over the last 12 months to show progress.
Tharstern Cloud has been built on cloud-native technologies, so it’s not just a web application that’s been migrated to a Cloud platform! This means it has the following benefits.
Connect through your web browser, no matter what device you’re on and where you are in the world.
No need to worry about any system updates, we will apply these remotely with minimal disruption during low-usage times.
We only use world-class data centers with the very latest security certification.
Our software is always online, whenever you need it.
Get exactly the right amount of computing power and IT resources that you need, whenever you need it and wherever you are.
Standard across the entire system is a powerful custom field feature. Allows companies to add any type of attribute to all areas of the product. These can be used to help analyze data, store internal or customer-specific reference information, and can be accessed by a powerful search engine.
Easily see how your company is performing relative to sales targets. Filter by sales person, market sector, customer and product type or a combination of all four.
Search every data object in your MIS, including custom fields, using the powerful search engine designed for real-life, natural search.
Our systems and your data are hosted in highly secure data centers on Microsoft Azure (you can read more about their security here). We also employ an array of security measures throughout the application and infrastructure including monitoring, and encryption for all data at rest and in transit.
Updates will be managed centrally. In theory all sites could be updated simultaneously but it’s normal practice to update a smaller group first before pushing the button for everyone else.
Right now, yes. We have spent the last 3 years working on both the innovative technological platform (with our API first approach), and creating a comprehensive product engine that will allow Tharstern Cloud to be sector neutral. This work constitutes the lion’s share of what needs to be done to deliver a complete end-to-end MIS solution. And the manner in which this product has been engineered, means that the other functionality for orders, production and billing will follow thick and fast in the coming year.
This refers to the way that the code is constructed. The system is built from multiple loosely coupled modules that are easy to swap out or combine in different ways. For example we have a service that selects an appropriate cutter and another that creates virtual cutters that can be accessed by estimating but as we progress through the sectors we can easily add alternative services such as step and repeat, imposition, carton layout etc without any real changes to the rest of the code. This approach also means it will be easier than ever to plug in someone else’s layout or imposition tool.
It will be available to any country in the world but only supported in English speaking. i.e. UK, USA & Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
In order to access the API of Tharstern Cloud you need to obtain an API Token. This is straightforward and can be obtained from the main menu
Once you have the Token you give this to your techy who will know how to use it. There is a complete list of all the API functions that your techy can access in order to locate the right methods. Alternatively, they can call the technical support team who will be able to point them in the right direction.
We have been working on our own employee engagement programme for several years now and we have seen the benefits it brings. And there are countless studies that prove that organizations with an engaged culture are more profitable, which backs up our strong beliefs. We have also seen which of our customers are the most successful, and it’s almost always the ones who work on their culture.
Yes, we have two development streams and two separate development teams working on the two distinct products. We will continue to develop our current MIS solution according to the needs of our customers and the market, while also evolving our cloud product.
Once we have added the support for other print sectors to our Cloud product, we will be able to offer our customers the option of both of these products.
