Three sites.
One ventilation backbone.
A French industrial ventilation group with 200,000+ technical references, two specialist brands, and a manufacturing arm. We're building three connected websites on a single Odoo backbone, with a customer-gated catalogue at the core.
Where CAD stands today,
and where they're heading.
A 200k-reference catalogue with no online home and three brands speaking past each other.
- 200,000+ technical references managed offline. No web catalogue, every quote handled manually.
- Three brands under one group - CAD Ventilation, Unventair, LRI, each with its own audience, none connected.
- Confidentiality requirement: catalogue cannot be public. Pricing and stock are commercial assets, not marketing material.
- No mega-menu architecture for ventilation-specific categories (centrifugal, axial, EC fans, components, accessories…).
- Downloadable technical files (datasheets, CAD drawings, installation guides) scattered across folders, emails, dropbox.
One Odoo backbone, three connected sites, a customer-gated catalogue.
- Three Odoo Websites under one backend: CAD Ventilation (hub), Unventair (specialist line), LRI (manufacturing workshop).
- Mega menu purpose-built for industrial ventilation taxonomy — categories, sub-categories, technical attributes.
- Customer-gated catalogue: 200k+ refs visible only after login. Pricing, stock, downloads — all role-aware.
- Cross-brand linking between CAD and Unventair — one customer journey, two storefronts.
- Centralized library of downloadable technical files attached at product level.
- Mobile-first templates across all three sites — most field engineers browse on phone.
Three sites.
Three audiences.
One backbone.
Each site has its own purpose, audience and visual identity. Behind them: a single Odoo instance, one product database, one customer base, one team.
CAD Ventilation
The flagship: full company story, the 200k+ gated catalogue, downloadable technical resources, and the entry point for B2B customers.
Unventair
Branded site for the Unventair line, with its own identity but cross-linked to CAD for technical depth, catalogue access and shared resources.
LRI
Dedicated site for the manufacturing workshop — capabilities, equipment, custom-build process. Built to support the group's industrial production arm.
Four phases.
Cadrage to Go-Live.
75 hours budgeted across four phases. Phase 1 done, Phase 2 in flight, Go-Live mid-July 2026. Phase by phase, against a tight runway.
Template, architecture, alignment
CAD Ventilation visual template built. Technical architecture defined for three sites. Component library set up. Brand & graphic direction validated with the client.
Three templates, one mega menu, key decisions
Category architecture for the three sites. "Under construction" page for Unventair. Designs for Unventair & LRI in parallel. Database bug resolution meeting. Strategic call: 3 distinct sites or 1 integrated site? Templates delivered week of May 11.
Client review, mega menu, feedback loop
Client buffer week to review the three templates and deliver the product category architecture (mega menu). Then integration of feedback, mega menu wiring, and a final presentation for sign-off before launch prep.
Downloadables, mobile, QA, SEO, switch the DNS
Downloadable technical files integrated. Mobile versions of all three sites built. Cross-device responsive QA. Extended functional testing. SEO migration & pre-launch monitoring. DNS cutover mid-July across the three domains.
200k+ refs.
Gated by design.
The catalogue is CAD's commercial asset. Pricing, stock, datasheets — none of it should be public. So we built the catalogue as a customer-only zone, with role-aware access controlled directly in Odoo.
- ▸Customer-only catalogue accessLogin required to browse the 200k+ references. Pricing, stock, technical files — all visible only to authenticated CAD customers, role-aware at the product level.
- ▸Mega menu for ventilation taxonomyPurpose-built mega menu — categories, sub-categories, families, attributes. Designed with CAD around how engineers actually search for industrial ventilation parts.
- ▸Downloadable technical libraryDatasheets, CAD drawings, installation guides, certifications — attached at product level, gated behind the same login as pricing. One source of truth for technical assets.
- ▸Cross-brand linking CAD ↔ UnventairUnventair products surfaced inside the CAD catalogue, and CAD technical resources reachable from Unventair pages. One ecosystem, two storefronts, zero duplication.
- ▸Mobile-first for field engineersMost CAD customers browse from a phone on a job site. Templates are mobile-first across all three sites — readable, fast, search-friendly.
Building now.
Live in July 2026.
A three-site industrial ecosystem on Odoo, with a customer-gated catalogue at its core. 75h budgeted, 24h delivered, on track for mid-July go-live.
Got a catalogue Odoo can't handle natively?
200k references. Gated access. Three sites under one roof. We've built it. If your project sounds equally specific, let's talk.
