Tharstern, Premier, and Zaikio join forces for a fully integrated purchasing experience
- Zaikio’s cloud-based platform Zaikio Procurement connects MIS providers with material suppliers. The company is just launching in the UK.
- The partnership with Tharstern will begin immediately. The MIS will soon be connected to Zaikio Procurement, offering customers the possibility to directly access the supplier’s ranges from the system.

Premier is the first supplier in the UK to be fully connected to Zaikio Procurement. Printers can check Premier’s material availability and prices, and order directly via Zaikio Procurement, free of charge.
The software company, Zaikio, announced two major successes at the IPIA 2021: The start of a new partnership with Tharstern and the full connection to Premier. Tharstern MIS will soon be connected to Zaikio Procurement and enable Tharstern customers to use Zaikio Procurement’s full feature set. They will be able to see material availability and order materials directly from within the Tharstern MIS.
After announcing the partnership in August 2021, Premier is now fully connected to Zaikio Procurement and can be used via the Zaikio Procurement app. As soon as the connection with Tharstern is finished, printers will be able to check Premier’s price and material availability and order from Premier directly via Tharstern.

Zaikio and Tharstern started their collaboration when Zaikio announced UK-based supplier Premier would join the platform back in August 2021.
“We’re always looking for ways to increase automation for our customers. When Zaikio got in touch to tell us that they were launching their interface with Premier in the UK, we knew it was a platform we wanted to support.
The integration with Tharstern MIS will offer a seamless real-time experience, ensuring our mutual customers will have up-to-the-minute pricing and, more importantly than ever right now, availability information.
