In March 2024, Covid's president requested that I revive and take charge of development on a long stagnated modernized successor to their Panel Spec 2.0 software that will enable the company to stand above its competitors in the custom wall plate and rack panel market. Working closely together with my co-developer overseas in the UK, we built one of the most advanced and feature rich custom panel design tools available. Gaining over 4,000 new and active users within the first two months of release, Panel Spec 3.0 has been a resounding success that's pulled in new customers from both across the US and abroad.

​

Panel Spec 3.0 is the latest evolution of Covid's industry-leading custom wall plate and rack panel designer. This free online tool simplifies the design process, eliminating the need for costly software or specialized expertise. With its third iteration, Panel Spec sets a new standard, offering more control and flexibility than ever before, outpacing competitor tools by leaps and bounds. Users can now fine-tune every detail of connectors, plates, and panels with both ease and precision.

This release is packed with powerful new features, including:

• Enhanced collaboration tools for seamless teamwork

• Advanced control over all aspects of your design via a properties editor

• A persistent cloud-based online library to store and manage all of your designs

• A revamped quote system for fast, accurate, and instant pricing

• An intuitive new UI designed for both ease of use and unmatched custom capabilities
