Lavenham Press has almost completed its Tharstern training and is looking forward to going live with TharsternSQL management information system (MIS).

The Suffolk (UK) printers has operated for some years with a bespoke estimating and management system but wanted a more comprehensive system and so invested in an eight-user Tharstern MIS.

Terence Dalton, managing director, of Lavenham Press said: "We regard the TharsternSQL not just as a management information system but as a total communication tool both internally and externally.

As we offer full production facilities in-house we have a comprehensive plant using the latest technology, such as Screen CTP Trueflow, a battery of Heidelberg colour presses and full range of finishing equipment.

Using Tharstern, and in particular the shop floor data capture module, we have managed to connect the whole print process together by ensuring there is access for all our staff to either input or access information via Tharstern." He added: "We are certainly looking forward to completing our implementation and given time using TharsternSQL will make significantly positive changes to our processes - making the job information and progress much more visible and providing us with a wealth of information to strengthen our workflow." Lavenham Press has been established for over 50 years and is still an independent, family owned and run company.

With over 50 employees and full print production facilities, it provide a range of services and have built and retained a strong customer base.".
