A maintenance professional needs a systematic naming convention to label 14 electrical panels fed from 6 services originating from one transformer at a rustic campground.

No commercial labeling system or best-practice standard exists for complex multi-service, multi-panel electrical setups with mixed overhead/underground feeds, shared meters, and decades of ad-hoc additions.

Workarounds Described

manually using verbal descriptions like 'an MLO panel fed from a 200A breaker 250 feet away'

Implied Software Gaps

Software that auto-generates panel labeling based on feeder hierarchy and physical location

App Concept

PanelPath Pro

An app that generates and prints durable labeling schemes for complex electrical distribution systems. Users input transformer/service/panel relationships and the software proposes hierarchical naming conventions, tracks feeder paths upstream and downstream, and allows barcode scanning for field identification. Unlike generic label printers, it understands electrical hierarchy and enforces consistency.

Key Features

Visual hierarchy mapping: auto-generates labels showing feeder source, panel ID, downstream load, and meter association
Custom naming templates: choose alphanumeric, grid-based (e.g., Row A-3), or freeform with auto-increment
QR code generation for each panel linking to digital diagram and branch circuit list
Photo attachment and mark-up for physical panel location description

Target Users: Electricians and facility maintenance managers responsible for commercial/industrial electrical distribution systems at campgrounds, fairgrounds, multi-tenant buildings, and campuses.

Revenue Model: Freemium with $49/mo pro tier (unlimited panels, advanced export, cloud sync, team collaboration)
