AWS S3 Integration with Odoo Document Management for Improved ROI on Storage Space

Our client, a leading European environmental consultancy, needed to enhance their document and content management capabilities.

We addressed this by integrating an external file storage solution with Odoo, using Amazon S3 to manage and display attachments in a folder-view structure. Our approach included developing a user-friendly interface for personalized and duration-restricted access to documents, importing historical data, and ensuring secure downloads with pre-signed URLs. After consultation, design, and development phases, we deployed the solution, ensuring seamless integration with Odoo and efficient data management.

Technology Stack & Tools

Implementation Overview

AWS S3 Integration:

We delivered AWS S3 integration with Odoo as a solution for their need to manage attachments and files on the external storage, which will not affect their system performance.

Dashboard Management:

We enabled the folder-view dashboard using OwlJS for their users to view, access, and download the relevant folders and attachments without login credentials.

Dynamic URL Generation:

We also implemented a dynamic URL generation feature that expires the URL after a certain period and regenerates the same for users to download the attachments to improve privacy.

Business impacts

Enhanced user experience

By offering features, such as quick downloads and file-manager, on the website, our client deliberately improved the user experience on their website.

New lead generation

We empowered our client to attract and engage prospective customers with an easily accessible and well-managed portfolio. Recommended projects with relevant attachments helped their potential customers to gain deeper insights and make decisions.

Improved customer retention

Enhanced user experience empowered our customer to foster long-term relationships with their customers.

Cost-saving

We helped our client to cut down the server expenses by managing high-volume attachments on the external server instead of storing them on Odoo. We optimized their storage infrastructure and minimized the need for expensive server upgrades and maintenance.
