New Document Centre Solution Automates Product Attachments

Managing product attachments documentation – attaching PDF etc documents to products across an eCommerce store – is one of those jobs that sounds simple until it has to be done at scale.

For every product listed, there may be a mix of user guides, compliance paperwork, technical drawings, and marketing assets that need to be correctly attached to the product page, and also made available through a documentation hub. Manually attaching documents can be time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to maintain as product lines grow and evolve.

That’s why our Magneto developers have built the Accentika Document Centre solution, now in use by our clients dramatically reducing the manual workload involved in document management and removing the need to manually attach product files.

Automating Away the Pain

Accentika’s Document Centre solution is designed intelligently and automatically to attach documents to the correct products in a catalogue so that they can be viewed and downloaded in situ by customers. It is built on a client-by-client custom basis to work with an existing electronic document procedures. Once deployed, files will appear both:

• Attached to the relevant Magento product pages
• In a central Magento documentation store that is fully organised and searchable

Typically, product documentation solutions rely on an administrator uploading documents (PDF for example) and attaching them to products via the Magento back end. It may require categories to be asigned, descriptions/titles added. But at Accentika we have totally avoided the need for Magento administrators to drag and drop files to associate them with products, removing a source of human error and delivering accurate, consistent documentation where it’s needed.

This solution is already helping Accentika clients streamline their operations, improve compliance, and reduce the time teams have to spend chasing file updates.

What Types of Product Attachments?

The system can support any documents typically associated with physical products, especially in regulated or technical industries. Of course customers/document-users need to be able to download the attachments and view the documents via their browsers. In most cases, Adobe’s PDF is the preferred format which all customers will be able to download.

Here are some examples showing what the Document Centre can be used to manage:

User & Customer-Facing Product Attachments

• User manuals and instruction booklets
• Quick start guides and setup instructions
• Maintenance schedules and care instructions
• FAQs and troubleshooting guides

Regulatory & Compliance Materials
