Pre-Sales Assisted Portal
A cloud platform that streamlined collaboration between sales and marketing teams at ABSYZ by automating proposal slide creation.
Project At A Glance
A centralized slide management platform for ABSYZ (2022), where I worked as a Full-Stack Developer to build a React and Express based solution backed by MySQL, AWS and Dropbox, using Aspose Cloud to dynamically generate proposal presentations so sales teams could quickly assemble client-ready decks from curated marketing content.
From Email Threads to a Slide Portal
During my tenure at ABSYZ, the Chief Operating Officer identified a recurring challenge in the coordination between sales and marketing teams. Sales representatives frequently needed visually polished presentation decks when pitching solutions to potential clients.
Marketing teams prepared these slides, but collaboration relied heavily on email communication. Files were exchanged across long email threads, downloaded locally, edited, and re-shared for review. As teams operated across different countries and events, locating the latest version of slides became inefficient and error-prone.
Together with a senior digital architect and the director of the digital branch, we proposed building a centralized web platform that would act as a single source of truth for all sales presentation material. The marketing team could manage slide libraries categorized by department while the sales team could instantly assemble presentations by selecting relevant slides.
Designed for Fast Proposal Building
The portal was built so sales teams could assemble a client-ready deck in minutes instead of waiting days for a custom presentation. Slides are organized by practice area, use case, and industry, making it easy to tailor a story while staying on-brand.
- • Search and browse approved slide libraries
- • Build presentations by selecting slides and ordering them
- • Re-use proven narratives across regions and teams
My Role
- • Led the full-stack development of the platform.
- • Designed the user interface for sales teams.
- • Built backend APIs and data models.
- • Integrated Dropbox for cloud slide storage.
- • Used Aspose Cloud APIs to dynamically generate PowerPoint presentations.
- • Designed a cost-efficient architecture minimizing operational expenses.
Due to the internal nature of this platform at ABSYZ, UI screenshots cannot be publicly shared. The sections below describe the system workflow and architecture instead.
Slide Assembly Workflow
Marketing team uploads and categorizes slides into curated libraries.
Slides are stored in a centralized, searchable slide repository.
Sales teams select relevant slides and assemble a client-specific deck.
The system composes the presentation and sends it to Aspose Cloud.
Aspose Cloud generates the final PowerPoint, ready to download or save to cloud storage.
This workflow eliminated the need for manual email exchanges and ensured that sales teams always used the latest approved presentation content.
System Architecture
React web portal where sales and marketing teams interact with the system.
Express backend APIs handling slide management, presentation composition and orchestration.
MySQL database storing slide metadata, usage history and presentation configurations.
Dropbox cloud storage containing the actual slide assets maintained by marketing.
Aspose Cloud service that generates final PowerPoint presentations from selected slides.
The platform was designed to remain lightweight and cost-efficient while enabling automated presentation generation and centralized slide management.
