Founder & Software Engineer · Pretoria, South AfricaYou can contact me directly at sam@paneldesk.co.za.
I’m a South African software engineer who has spent the last few years building internal systems for global companies. Now I’m focused on building simple, reliable tools for local workshops — starting with PanelDesk.
I built PanelDesk to be the simplest, most reliable panel beating software for South African workshops.
What I've built before
Internal SaaS for Siemens & SupplyFrame
Designed and built two internal tools (solo) used daily by teams and executives.
High-volume trading automation
Automated tracking, reporting and payouts for a crypto arbitrage firm handling $4M+ per month.
Workflow automation for SA businesses
Delivered end-to-end systems for multi-million-rand companies across finance, ops and admin.
After years building internal tools for global companies, I realised South African businesses need software built around how they actually work — not overseas systems that don’t fit local workflows. PanelDesk is the first of those tools, designed specifically for South African panel beaters and body shops.
How PanelDesk is built and supported
- Clear, direct support — no outsourced call centres.
- Issues are fixed quickly and communicated clearly.
- Feedback from real workshops directly shapes the product roadmap.

Testimonial
“We started using PanelDesk, and it has made quoting and follow-ups much easier for us. Because it is cloud-based, we can quote from anywhere and are not tied down to one location anymore. Having everything in one place — from quotes to invoices — has already saved us time.”
