What is Exela Print Shop
Exela Print Shop is a web-based print procurement and job submission portal used to route print requests to internal print centers or external print providers. It supports intake, quoting, approval workflows, and order tracking for common corporate print and marketing collateral use cases. The product is typically used by enterprise shared services, in-plant print shops, and procurement teams that want standardized ordering and visibility into print spend. It is positioned more as a print storefront and workflow layer than as a device-level print queue and driver management tool.
Centralized print request intake
Provides a single portal for users to submit print jobs and select products, specifications, and delivery options. This standardizes request data and reduces back-and-forth between requesters and print operations. It also supports routing to internal and/or external fulfillment paths depending on configuration.
Workflow and approval controls
Supports approval steps and status tracking to manage who can authorize print spend and when jobs move to production. This is useful for regulated or cost-controlled environments where print requests require review. Compared with device-centric print management tools, it focuses more on business process governance around print ordering.
Order visibility and reporting
Captures order details and job status information that can be used for operational reporting and spend visibility. This can help print centers and procurement teams monitor volumes, turnaround times, and cost allocation. The reporting is oriented around orders and jobs rather than printer fleet telemetry.
Not fleet management focused
The product centers on print procurement and job workflow rather than managing printer drivers, queues, and endpoint printing policies. Organizations primarily seeking secure pull printing, device policy enforcement, or printer deployment automation may need additional tooling. Fit depends on whether the main requirement is ordering workflow versus device-level control.
Integration scope varies by environment
Capabilities often depend on how the portal is integrated with ERP/procurement systems, identity providers, and print production systems. Some integrations may require professional services or custom work to match existing processes. This can extend implementation timelines compared with more standardized cloud print management deployments.
Complexity for smaller teams
For small offices or simple print needs, a full storefront and approval workflow can be more process than necessary. Administration of catalogs, pricing, templates, and routing rules adds ongoing overhead. The product tends to fit better where there is a dedicated print operations or shared services function.
