Case Study: Elle Media Group boosts growth and automation with Tharstern

Elle Media Group grows turnover 40% with Tharstern

Elle Media Group, a high-quality commercial printer specializing in bespoke charity Christmas cards, faced a challenge after installing a new Heidelberg Speedmaster press. Their previous management information system (MIS) was incapable of the JDF integration required to link the new press to their workflow, prompting them to seek a new solution. They turned to the vendor Tharstern for its MIS platform.

By implementing Tharstern's MIS and integrating it with Prinect, Citrix ShareFile, and BigIceBox, Elle Media Group achieved an exceptional level of workflow automation. This solution provided improved traceability, daily capacity reporting, and precise data manipulation. The results were highly measurable: the company grew its turnover by 40% in under 18 months without needing to hire additional staff, and it was able to reallocate several team members to other roles within the business due to the efficiency gains from Tharstern.
