What is an Ordering Portal?

An ordering portal gives organizations one online environment for ordering print and communication materials. Customers, teams, and users place orders independently through a user-friendly ordering flow.

Administrators centrally manage product catalogs, pricing, users, and workflows.

  • manual requests and correction rounds are reduced
  • organizations maintain control over budgets, orders, and users
