### "THARSTERN REVIEW" — 5.0/5

> **RUSSELL** | *16 April 2021* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We have been using this software now for  5 years  and since then it has made processing our jobs and quotations so much quicker.  It makes it easy to find a previous job and repeat the order without having to change any details .
> 
> **Cons**: We run the Primo Light version and it would be great to have automatic job confirmations being sent to the customer i don't think this is possible at the moment ?
> 
> My overall experience with Tharstern has be very good the guys in support are alway very helpful and go out of there way to help which mean a lot to a company of our size without an IT department .

### "Stephen Goodwin" — 5.0/5

> **Stephen** | *27 April 2021* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Job and estimate creation are easier on simpler specifications.
>

### "Great product" — 5.0/5

> **Rick** | *16 April 2021* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The fact that all departments of the business are connected via Tharstern from purchasing to finance, giving any individual easy access to the information they need. Also the ability to connect with different API's and software packages such as Sage etc.
> 
> **Cons**: My only negative comment about the software would be that as a new user it can be quite overwhelming at first when learning how everything connects together, but you don't need extensive IT knowledge in order to use it.
> 
> Overall we are a happy customer, it does what we need it to and if we ever have any issues or are just unsure about how something works, the knowledgeable support team are always happy to help, over the phone or by email.

### "Great software" — 5.0/5

> **David** | *15 April 2021* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: All estimates we create are done through Tharstern which gives us accurate costs and helps us keep an eye on unconfirmed orders. Confirmed orders are turned easily into jobs, materials allocated and all labour is captured. If materials are missing, we raise PO’s for all materials. System tracks stock, movements, sales orders, deliveries and gives us full history and audit trails. All of our departments, including prepress and tooling use the system.
> 
> **Cons**: We wish for a couple of features to be included in future releases; these were posted on the very good Wish Wall with Tharstern.
> 
> Great. Software is very good and support is excellent, as they have full knowledge even on back end functionality such as SQL, Crystal Reports, Stored procedures and the lot. We are very glad to have purchased Tharstern as this radically changed the way every department works.
