Tharstern launches three new MIS features

Tharstern has announced three new features available as add-ons to its MIS software for large-format PSPs and for companies that provide direct mail.

A new Installation Services feature can be used to create estimates for projects that include additional services related to the installation of these products, such as labour, machinery hire and pick and pack charges. The feature is expected to be particularly useful for POS or signage printers who supply to large companies with varying store profiles, or multi-site organisations with differing needs. A Direct Mail add-on tool will allow users to capture all the details of a direct mail campaign in an estimate, including manufactured products, supplied items, postage and internal processes such as data handling. The third new feature is a Mobile Inventory tool - an app designed for use on the latest handheld barcode scanning devices, smartphones or tablets. With it warehouse personnel can perform a full range of inventory tasks without requiring access to a Tharstern terminal, including, moving stock, issuing stock, item check, location checks etc. Chris Burn, head of product at Tharstern, said: “The demand from our existing customers for estimates involving services such as installations and direct mail has been on the rise for some time, so doing something major in this area has been on our wish list for a while.”
