// ABOUT
I'm a joiner, just like you. I used Excel to prepare cut lists for my jobs. For lack of anything better.
I looked for a solution to make my work easier, without finding anything satisfying. Most existing software is built for industry — complex and overpriced.
So I built the tool I needed, my way:
- Built for artisans and small workshops.
- 100% offline — no online service.
- No more double entry.
Panelgator is field-tested and improves continuously thanks to your feedback.
