The problem it solves

Uploading product photos into your inventory system one by one is tedious, especially when you're managing a large catalog. It's easy to attach the wrong image or miss products entirely.

Who it fits

Retailers and product teams managing a catalog in Odoo.

How it works

  1. On a schedule or when triggered, the system checks a Google Drive folder for images
  2. It reads each image and works out which product it belongs to
  3. It filters out images that don't match a valid product
  4. The image is attached to the matching product or template in Odoo
What you get

Product photos matched to listings automatically

Your product catalog stays visually complete as new photos land on the right listings without anyone sorting files by hand.

What you get

Product records in Odoo updated with the correct images attached.

What you need

A Google Drive account and an Odoo account with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
