Case Study: Suttle-Straus eliminates workflow bottlenecks with Tharstern

Suttle-Straus speeds estimating and proof approval with Tharstern, eliminating multiple steps and handoffs

Suttle-Straus, a printing company, faced workflow bottlenecks after outgrowing their previous MIS, which could no longer support their needs or integrate with other software. Their key challenges included a lack of integration capabilities, inconsistent pricing, and a need to support their evolving workflow to meet customer expectations. They sought a new solution from vendor Tharstern, specifically looking to implement its Layout Library and Prinect integration.

Tharstern implemented its MIS, which included the Layout Library and a JDF integration with Prinect. This solution provided Suttle-Straus with consistent pricing and job planning, eliminated unnecessary steps in their estimating and proof approval processes, and increased their overall speed. The result was a more impactful estimating experience and the elimination of non-value-added tasks, allowing them to gain a competitive advantage and continue to automate workflows.
