The questions we get asked most
Should I switch everything over to PanelGear?
We don't recommend that. Keep the software your team relies on. Add PanelGear where it saves you real time.
What are you honestly not the best at yet?
Job management beyond acceptance of quotes, as well as insurer integration are two areas for improvement. We're building fast, but we'd rather be upfront than oversell.
How do I know if it's worth it for my shop?
Start on our free plan and quote a few real jobs with it. If it's saving you time, we'd love to have you on board. If not, no hard feelings.
