Some AMAZING Projects..

Green Home Automation

Panther Software is now phasing out consulting operations, now that it's IP assets are being absorbed by Green Home Automation. You can learn more at greenhomeautomation.ca. We can still help develop some projects for you, but our rates have significantly increased to reflect the demand for our technical services. That said, there is investment opportunity here, with some of the current projects being marketed on the corporate website..

The SmartWindow is nearing it's appearance date on Kickstarter. The section below, describes how it operates. You can also learn more about it on GHA's website, too.

GHA is also negotiating terms to be a distributor of SolarGaps. SolarGaps are smart blinds that automatically tilt to track the sun, and provide shade. However, unlike traditional blinds, these ones produce electricity. Up to 100W per meter, per hour. This product is new to North America, and could be a popular product during the Green Revolution. This, however, requires investment capital to secure distribution rights in Canada.

HeatMaster is GHA's branded Solar Thermal hot water tank kit, that will eventually expand into a full-home heating system. This is done by channelling summer heat into the ground, then circulating that heat into the home, in winter. An example of a community, based on this premise can be seen by visiting the Drake Landing Solar Community (DLSC) website

SmartWindow

The SmartWindow promises to be one of the simplest and most efficient green energy products on the market. Nearing the production release stage, the device can theoretically pay off its purchase cost in 5 years or less, depending on the climate.

How does it do this? Well, it’s basically a robot you install in your wall or window that monitors outside air temperature. When it sees cooler air available, it pulls it into your home. It also looks at the forecast temperature, and brings in extra cool air, when it sees it will be needed. It has both indoor and outdoor humidity and temperature sensors, to calculate the heat index of both air masses, and a phone app that lets you customize several settings.

The fundamental flaw with air conditioning, is that it does not react to black-body radiation. Your home will actually radiate heat well until the middle of the night, long after the outdoor temperatures have lowered. So, the thermostat in your home tells your air conditioner to stay on, costing you several dollars in unneeded energy expense, on some days.

The Window robot perfectly analyses the situation, whether you are sleeping, or out of the house, and manages this free cooling energy for you. If you can save $100 per year with a $500 device, why wouldn’t you? Not to mention, the superior air quality it offers, too.

You can, and should, install a Window Robot, even if you already have central air conditioning. Especially, in a room that is far away from your home’s thermostat, because localized hot spots will force you to bias your thermostat to be cooler than it needs to be.

Now, even if you think you can manage your windows as well as the WR can, you’d be mistaken. Unless you never sleep, never leave the home, and operate a humidex calculator, there is no way you can manage even half the energy savings the robot does. Do you value your free time? Most people do.

If you are designing a new home, you could install one of these in the wall, and substantially reduce the cost of windows that require hardware to open and close. Compare the WR to the cost of a manual automatic window, with the required hardware, and you'll see it's more affordable than that, too.

It’s not to say windows that manually open and close are obsolete. In cases where your home’s airflow creates localized hot spots, you would still want to be able to open a window or two, to accelerate the cooling process. But, no doubt the WR is a smarter way to do it.

As of 2019, Panther Software is seeking investment, or any support to further improve and market the product. Please send us a message if this project interests you!

Kickboxing and Muay Thai Official Statistics CMS

Admittedly, Panther Software doesn’t know much about the sport. However a friend to the company, who is an avid enthusiast and well-connected in the industry, convinced us to develop a CMS based system to enter and track records for events and fighters around the world. Since then, it’s become apparent that this could be as big as the UFC, in the years to come. The system has the backend mostly complete, and needs a front end, plus a lot of promotional help.

A bit of research indicates that this is one of the fastest growing sports in eastern Asia. Also, it is one of the most disorganized in terms of record keeping. Therefore the goal here, is to eventually have this website become one of the official record keepers of the sports, or at the very least, a source for enthusiasts to go to, for accurate news and statistics.

Currently, most media outlets in North America, have little to no coverage of Kickboxing or Muay Thai. Advertising revenues, as the sport grows here, could be worthwhile, being one of the earliest to market. Imagine if a Muay Thai fighter rises to the top ranks of the UFC? This investment would be worth gold, at that point.

The budget for this project is substantially lower than other projects, since it is relatively simple to engineer from a computing perspective. The business model is simple too. Get lots of view, and generate revenue through Google AdSense, paid subscribers, or regular sponsors.

If you are interested in the sport, want to invest in it, or, would like to sponsor the website with advertising rights, please contact us. The system is approximately 65% complete, before the beta version can be released to the public. There is a huge list of features we’d like to add to it, but enthusiasm from outside investors will govern the progress.

AdPtz Marketing and CMS

Without a doubt, this is the most comprehensive and complicated projects Panther Software has ever worked on. The basic system was released in beta in 2016, after nearly 2 years of development. In total, the system comprises 4 separate server applications; a user CMS, an advertiser CMS, the main site, and a 'button' portal, for people to put the AdPtz buttons on their website. The buttons are technologically identical to social media likes, used by the large social media systems.

The fundamental concept of AdPtz is to improve the way advertising works. Instead of injecting unsavoury ads in content that most people are interested in, the system pays you handsomely for your time, to look at them voluntarily. You pick a limited set of interests, enter your demographics information, and you see products and information you might be interested in, but wouldn’t necessarily know to even search for in Google. The net time people would do this each day in AdPtz, is calculated to be less than the amount of time people already waste watching ads today, about 15 minutes. And, the calculated income a person could make, is better paying, than most jobs (hourly, but limited to only 15 minutes per day).

This methodology is simply more efficient for everyone involved. And, because advertisers pay vetted customers directly to look at their ads, it conceivably influences the market response this form of advertising would achieve.

Unlike other similar systems that do not verify the viewing of the ad (television, radio, popups, spam), AdPtz does, and therefore has value. The process requires the user to find a social media button on the web content they are viewing, at a rate no faster than once every 90 seconds. Intermediate CAPTCHA checks ensure no automated processes can perform this action.

In addition, because you volunteer your information for payments, it is not infringing on your privacy rights, a problem other social media conglomerates seem to overlook.

Another aspect of this system is the fundamental understanding that the world is getting more and more automated. The truth is, most jobs are not essential any more, and millions of people effectively do a job, that a machine could do. Panther Software anticipated higher unemployment rates, and in fact the need for a 4 day work week, in 2016. As usual, right again. So, this gives people a chance to earn more income, and better educate the public, rather than use the current chaotic model. The system needs a few more minor adjustments, but is basically ready to go, today.

Please contact us if you have any suggestions, or would be interested in supporting its growth.

UPDATE: AdPtz has been taken off-line due to hosting costs and lack of investment. You will need to meet in person if you wish to view this incredibly well thought-out system!

Customer Relationship Management System

This was Panther Software’s first major project since becoming fully independent in 2014. It works similarly to the Salesforce system, but with a few enhancements to better promote sales. It uses numerous caching techniques to search and organize information much more efficiently.

The basic concept is to have a consolidated cloud based interface that tracks interactions with current and future customers in real time. In addition to user input history events, it also diarizes flagged emails in a central database, and links them to the details of the products. This therefore allows you to update the transaction data from any mobile device’s email application, without needing special software installed. On the desktop web browser, it lets you view all interactions between yourself and the customer, or other members of the sales team. It has coaching templates on how to approach different situations, and a very slick Rolodex feature that can prioritize customer issues. When it is ultimately complete, it will tie in with accounting and inventory applications.

The system is perfect for industries that have large free-form transactions, such as the purchasing departments of major manufacturers.

While the concept is sound, the competitors in this market received enough financial investment to offer the service at a loss (for now), making it difficult to compete for an unfunded start-up. However, the market is still expanding, so even a small investment will likely net big returns, given the superiority of the product.

The application is about 50% complete, from being a viable piece of software many local businesses could benefit from. It is especially well suited for any company that does large singular transactions, with add-ons over time, such as real estate or the auto industry. It would work well for any business that sells products to the commercial or industrial sector, because of the precision of the system.

Salesforce, Zoho and other CRM systems can get expensive to use, when you enable all the features your business needs. In fact, after analysing these costs, many companies prefer to develop their own in-house systems instead. For that reason, wouldn’t it make sense to develop a system your own company could use along-side a few other local companies in Manitoba? Splitting the development costs would ultimately cost the same as licensing out an existing system, but you could get equity in it too. Or, flat out save money!
