Acquisition Opportunity Tharstern has recently changed ownership through acquisitions (ePS Group in 2023 and earlier partnerships) indicating a strategic pivot and integration opportunities across multiple regions. This suggests potential for cross-sell of MIS to the combined customer base and alignment with the broader software ecosystem.

MIS for Print Tharstern specializes in management information systems for printing, packaging, and labels with a long track record (39 years). This points to opportunities to upsell advanced workflow automation, quote-to-cash optimization, and production efficiency modules to printers looking to accelerate job throughput.

Sustainability Tie‑ins With initiatives around carbon footprinting and partnerships focused on environmental metrics (CarbonQuota integration, TharsternTV on carbon footprinting), there is a clear hook for selling sustainability analytics, carbon accounting features, and reporting to printers aiming to meet green procurement criteria.

Expansion Footprint The company serves customers in the UK, Ireland, North America, Australia, and South Africa and has partnerships with distributors and platforms (Zaikio, Premier Paper Group). This broad geographic exposure creates opportunities to expand into overseas markets with localized modules, invoicing, and compliance features.

Data‑Driven Growth Existing tech stack includes analytics and tracking tools (Hotjar, Piwik, HubSpot). This indicates a data‑driven sales and customer success motion; potential upsell of advanced analytics, dashboards, and integrated BI tools to drive better decision making for print applicants.
