Tharstern dashboards and integrations

Tharstern is the MIS behind a good share of the UK's commercial printers: estimating, job tickets, scheduling, despatch. Its maker has lately folded it into Print ePS; the trade still says Tharstern, so we do too. If your estimators live in it all day, this page is about your business.

What its API makes possible

Tharstern's API is unusually good: documented, browsable, and built to be used. In practice that means anything Tharstern knows, job status, due dates, press queues, estimated against actual cost, can be put on a screen or sent into another system without anyone re-typing it.

What we typically build

Shop-floor screens

Jobs due today, by press, late ones flagged. On TVs where the work happens. Takes about a week.

Tharstern to your accounts

Job ships, invoice appears in Xero or Sage with the right customer and lines. Usually one to two weeks.

Margin dashboard

Estimated against actual by customer and job type. The screen that changes how you quote. About a week.

What Tharstern already does well

Its own scheduling boards and standard reports are decent. If what you want is a production schedule for the planners, use the built-in one; don't pay us to rebuild it. We're useful when the data needs to leave Tharstern: onto a wall, into your accounts, or joined up with numbers from another system.
