Case Study: Thistle Printing boosts estimating efficiency with Tharstern MIS

Thistle Printing propelled by Tharstern MIS

Thistle Printing, a Canada-based full-service commercial printer established in 1931, needed a new MIS to support its rapid growth and maintain high service levels. After reaching 15,000 quotes and 7,000 jobs per year, the company launched a rigorous evaluation of 28 MIS solutions and brought in industry expert Rod Morin to help assess the market, with Tharstern among the finalists.

Thistle Printing selected Tharstern MIS, including its estimating and production hub, to improve transparency, speed up quoting, and integrate with third-party software. The result has been faster, more efficient estimating, better visibility across departments, and growing quote volumes month by month; the team also reports that Tharstern has helped staff move away from Excel-based processes and work more productively.
