Stop losing time, samples, and sales

Your reps are out with samples and nobody knows where they are. Your stock room spreadsheet is three weeks out of date. A designer needs a fixture by Friday and you can't find it. SamplePal gives every lighting sales agency one place to track every sample — who has it, where it is, and where it's been.

Built for how lighting agencies actually work

Generic asset trackers weren't designed for stock rooms full of lighting fixtures, reps checking samples in and out daily, or designers who need the right fixture by Thursday. We were.

No more forcing a generic tool to fit your workflow

You've tried making general asset trackers work for lighting samples. They don't understand stock rooms, rep checkouts, or customer loans. SamplePal was built from day one for the way lighting agencies actually operate.

No surprise bills as your sample library grows

Most tools charge per asset or per user — so your bill climbs every time you add a sample or onboard a rep. SamplePal is one flat price with unlimited samples and unlimited users. No surprises.

Start today with the phones your team already carries

Other systems want you to buy barcode scanners, label printers, and specialized hardware before you even get started. SamplePal works on any phone, tablet, or computer your team already has — no equipment purchases required.

Every headache you have with samples — solved

Hunting for samples, chasing reps for updates, maintaining spreadsheets nobody trusts — that all ends here.

Tired of walking the stock room or calling three people to find one fixture? Filter by location, manufacturer, or name and get your answer instantly.

Find any sample in seconds

See what's really happening with your samples

No more guessing how many samples are out, which reps are active, or which customers are holding fixtures. Real answers, not assumptions.

Frequently asked questions

    • Do I need any special equipment to use this app?

      Nope! All you need is the phone your reps are already carrying. No barcode scanners, no label printers, no hardware purchases. Just open SamplePal on any phone, tablet, or computer.

    • Is this an app on my phone?

      Yes! This functions just like an app on your phone, complete with a cute icon. However, it’s important to note that, at this time, it is not currently a native app for iPhones or Androids. It’s called a progressive web app. Our staff will help your staff put it on their phones correctly so that they’ll never even notice it’s not a native app once it’s installed. We do hope to make native apps for both iOS and Android in the future, but financially that’s not possible at this time.

    • Can this be used for any industry that manages a sample inventory?

      Sample Pal has been developed for the architectural lighting industry, with agents and manufacturers in mind. Having said that, we know that there are many industries that service the A&D community that have sample inventories. We would love to hear if you’re interested in this product and how we can tailor it for your industry.

    • Who are you?

      We’re the unicorn team, we like to joke. Angela has 20 years of experience in the architectural lighting industry. She has worked as a lighting designer, been both inside and outside staff for manufacturers, and now works full-time at a lighting agency. Doug has been a software engineer for 15 years. He has worked for some big tech companies whose names you’d recognize, as well as small startups.

    • How did you come up with Sample Pal?

      Doug loves solving problems. Angela loves complaining about problems. One day, Angela complained about an aggravating problem she had finding samples for customers in a timely manner. Many emails, many phone calls, searching, getting inside staff involved - it’s such a waste of time! Doug said, “I can solve that.” So he did.

    • How do I get my samples in the system?

      There are two ways. First, Sample Pal also has a desktop site. You can upload a CSV of your sample inventory to have it automatically populate the system. We’ll provide a template to make it easy to set up this CSV. Second, you can add samples one at a time through the app. This is also the most convenient way to add new samples as they come in.
