For South African panelbeaters

The command centre for your body shop

Track every job, chase parts and insurers before they stall you, and keep customers updated on WhatsApp. One board, built for the way your shop actually runs.

Built for independent panelbeaters across South Africa. Up and running in a day.
Where the money goes

Your shop loses money every week, and not where you would think

It is rarely the panel work. It is the waiting, the chasing, and the phone that never stops ringing.

Parts delays

A car sits idle in the bay while a part you ordered last week still has not arrived.

Insurer hold-ups

Authorisations stuck for days with nobody chasing, and no clear view of which ones.

Lost job cards

Paper cards go missing, status lives in people's heads, and nothing sits in one place.

"Is my car ready?"

The same call, ten times a day, pulling you off the floor every single time.

What Panelboard does

Every job, every part, every update in one place

Simple enough for the whole shop to use on day one. Built to run the business, not just log it.

Job intake in seconds

Scan the licence disc, photograph the damage, capture insurer, assessor and claim details in under a minute.

The Board

Every car in your shop on one visual board. Move a job from received to ready. Nothing slips through.

Parts tracker

Who you ordered from, when it was promised, what is overdue. Flagged in red before it bites.

WhatsApp updates

"Your BMW is in paint, ready 18 Nov." Sent automatically as the job moves, so the phone stops ringing.

Insurer status

See every job waiting on authorisation and how long it has been stuck, then chase the right one.

Invoicing

Generate the invoice at completion and send it to the insurer and customer in a single tap.

The customer experience

Let customers watch their car being repaired

Give every owner a private link, with no app to install, where they follow the repair stage by stage, see photos, and know exactly when it will be ready. The kind of experience that makes a small shop feel national.

  • Live repair progress, updated as the job moves
  • Photos at each stage, from strip-down to final polish
  • Pay the excess straight from the link
  • Fewer calls, happier customers, more reviews
