One record for panels, feeders, busbar work and routine tests.
Switchgear enquiries, feeder schedules, drawing revisions, panel bills of materials, bought-in breakers, fabrication, wiring, routine tests and dispatch are followed through one shared file. Every panel carries its approved single-line diagram, its component list and its test result from order to delivery note. Whoever stands at the drawing board, the stores counter, the wiring bench or the test bay sees one revision.
- Feeder types, component catalogue and test sheet layouts set up the way you use them
- Open orders and drawing revisions migrated
- Changes to panel templates handled by GullySystem staff when asked
Switchgear and switchboard makers get a single record from GullySystem covering enquiries, feeder schedules, panel bills of materials, bought-in breakers, busbar fabrication, routine tests and dispatch. Each panel keeps its approved drawing revision, its reserved components and its test report. The shop floor builds only what was released.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and tender
The enquiry arrives with a single-line diagram and a feeder list. The estimator prices each section from stored panel templates and the current breaker prices.
- 2
Order and drawing approval
The accepted order becomes a lineup. The design team issues the general arrangement drawing and tracks consultant comments until a revision is approved.
- 3
Component purchase
Breakers, relays and meters are ordered against panels. Receipts are checked and each item is reserved for its feeder.
- 4
Fabrication and busbar
Frames are cut, punched and bent. Busbar is made to length, with plating or painting sent as outside processes and tracked back.
- 5
Assembly, wiring and test
Panels are wired and fitted. The test bay records insulation, wiring and functional results, and notes any witness inspector.
- 6
Dispatch and invoice
Once a lineup clears test, its nameplates are printed and the packing papers are raised. The invoice follows the order and its priced variations.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Bill of Materials
Each panel is broken into enclosure, busbar, breaker and relay lines, and the quantities follow the feeder schedule so stores pull exactly what the approved diagram needs.
- Work Order Management
A panel work order moves through cutting, bending, plating and assembly, and the supervisor marks each stage as the frame leaves the bay.
- Quality Control
Insulation, wiring check and functional results are entered per panel serial number, and a failed reading holds the panel back from dispatch.
- Job Work Management
Busbar sent out for plating or powder coating is listed by panel when it leaves, and the return is booked against the same list.
- Purchase Order Management
Orders for breakers, relays and instrument transformers carry the panel they are meant for, so a late delivery points at the lineup it delays.
- Quote & Proposal Management
A lineup quotation is assembled from stored incomer and feeder templates, and each revision sent to the consultant is kept for comparison.
- Document Management
General arrangement drawings, consultant comments and test sheets are filed against the lineup, with only the approved revision shown to the shop floor.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Every panel carries a serial number, which links its nameplate, its breaker serials and its test report for later enquiries.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For the design office
Issue drawing revisions, log consultant comments and release the approved set to the floor.
For estimators and sales
Price lineups from templates, follow tenders and keep each client’s variations against the order.
For stores and purchasing
Order breakers and relays against panels, check receipts and reserve items for their feeders.
For shop floor supervisors
See which panels are in fabrication, wiring or waiting on parts, and record stage completion.
For test bay engineers
Enter routine test readings and note witness visits, panel by panel.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Lineups by stage, with panels held for missing components
- Drawing revisions awaiting consultant approval
- Bought-in items on order against the panel they are reserved for
- Busbar pieces out for plating and their expected return
- Routine test results by panel serial number
- Variations raised against each order
- Dispatches and invoices by client
Who this is built for.
- Makers of low-voltage and medium-voltage switchboards built to a client’s drawing
- Panel shops that assemble motor control centres and distribution boards
- Manufacturers who buy breakers and relays and build the enclosure and busbar in-house
- Firms supplying switchgear lineups to consultants and contractors on tender
- Works that send busbar plating or powder coating to outside processors
When it is not the right choice.
- An electrician who wires a few boards on site can work from drawings and a notebook.
- Makers of cables or lighting fittings will find Cable and Wire Manufacturer Management Software or Industrial Lighting Manufacturer Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Does it keep drawing revisions against each lineup?
Yes. Each general arrangement drawing is stored with consultant comments and the revision finally approved. Only that released revision is shown to fabrication and wiring.
Can I price a panel from a template?
Yes. Incomer, bus coupler and feeder templates hold your usual breaker and busbar items. The estimator changes ratings, and each tender revision stays on file.
How does it handle breakers bought from other makers?
Orders are placed against a panel and received into stores. Each breaker is then reserved for its feeder, so a lineup shows exactly which part it still lacks.
Can busbar going out for plating be followed?
Yes. Pieces are listed by panel when they leave, and the return is booked against the same list. A short count shows up on receipt.
What test records are kept?
Insulation, wiring check and functional results are entered per panel serial number, with the date and the engineer. Pass and fail values are fixed by your test engineers.
Does the software certify a panel?
No. It stores your test results and the documents you issue. Any standard or approval your client requires remains your own responsibility.
Can client changes after approval be priced?
Yes. Each change becomes a variation with its own price and drawing revision, and it flows to the invoice. The original order stays intact beside it.
What decides the price of the software?
The price follows your panel volume, the number of users and the test sheet formats to be built. You first see a demo using a lineup like yours, and then a proposal states the figure.
Will our old job files carry over?
Yes, live lineups, component lists and customer balances are imported from the spreadsheets you keep today. Your own staff check them against the shop floor before go-live.
Who maintains templates when we add a feeder type?
A new feeder type is added to the template list by GullySystem staff on request, or by your own admin once trained.
