How to Count Electrical Panels on a Blueprint, Fast and Defensibly
Counting electrical panels by hand is slow and error-prone. Panelboards and distribution gear are sparse but bid-critical: miss one and the estimate is off. SimplyCount finds and marks every one on your plan set automatically, and you sign off on the total.
To count electrical panels on a blueprint with SimplyCount, you import the plan set as a PDF and point at the electrical panels symbol from your own legend. The engine sweeps every sheet and marks each instance, and a live count updates as you review. Miss one? Add it. See a wrong detection? Reject it and the total updates and the number you export is the one you signed off on. Everything runs locally on your own machine, even a scanned page gets counted without your plans ever touching a cloud service.

SimplyCount runs on your own machine: counting is local, plan sets are never uploaded, and results live in an encrypted local database inside your firewall. The license is checked once, at app launch, over HTTPS; after that, counting runs fully offline; a fully offline build with no license check is available for air-gapped environments at negotiated pricing, and firms that want one shared install can run SimplyCount on a server inside their own firewall.
