Bennett Graphics accelerates its workflow
Find out how by integrating its HP Indigo presses with Tharstern, Bennett Graphics is leveraging Power BI to fuel data-led growth.
“When we came across Tharstern, we knew we’d found something that met all our requirements so we didn’t look any further. The demos were all great however we knew things can be different when looking into the back end of the software, seeing how it would fit in with our processes - but Tharstern showed us how we could do it.”

About the company
Bennett Graphics is one of the world's most recognized printing companies. They are leaders in dimensional graphics, point of purchase, fundraising, direct mail, eCommerce, and design.
Bennett Graphics is heavily invested in digital printing, offset, wide format, and robotic finishing. The first production model HP 100k in the country was installed in their plant. Today you'll find the 100k, a 12000, 7800, and 6800, not to mention inkjet, offset, latex, and Sensational enhancements. They’re leaders in these technologies and can help clients be more productive.
The challenge
“We wanted an MIS that could integrate with a storefront solution so our estimating module would work the way we wanted it to. We were limited with our previous MIS because we had to abide by the tools on offer, some of them were phenomenal but others just didn’t live up to what we needed, and our integration options were limited.” Adam Seiz, Vice President of Operations.
Bennett Graphics wanted to speed up the initial stages of their print workflow and find a print MIS that they could easily integrate with other solutions, to create a workflow that worked for their business. But they also wanted an MIS partner they could rely on to help them when they needed support and when they had ideas for new features.

The result
Bennett Graphics has accomplished its goal of increasing its close rate and has integrated it's HP Indigo presses with Tharstern, so they are now gaining direct information on time, materials, and clicks in Tharstern and are building up its business reporting with Power BI.
In the next few months they will be looking into a new shipping module, “There are a handful of other integrations we’re working on and it’s great to have the opportunity to try all these different options because of how flexible the Tharstern MIS is.”
“We were limited with our previous MIS because we had to abide by the tools on offer, with Tharstern we don't have these limitations.”
