D-Tools SI helps integrators win more bids and improve operating efficiency by streamlining their entire project workflows—from initial client contract through ongoing service.

Geared to meet the unique needs of electronic systems contractors, new capabilities help companies save time, gain deeper insight into project processes, and improve operating efficiency throughout their businesses.

"D-Tools' mission has always been to help our customers run more profitable businesses through software designed to replicate and expedite their workflows and best practices," said Randy Stearns, CEO of D-Tools. "The new capabilities in this release were developed in direct response to requests from our users and include significant improvements such as the ability to change product quantities on-the-fly directly in a quote, and manage inventory through advanced integrations with Tracknicity and TRXio. We look forward to helping our customers apply these productivity enhancements to their day-to-day workflows."

Enhancements to SI include:

Sales and Quoting Management

Quantity-based Quoting, ideal for large-scale security and structured cabling projects, improves application performance while allowing salespeople to develop a scope and budget in a fraction of time. Items (i.e. products, labor, packages, and solutions) may now be entered by quantity, without the need to assign location and system type, making it easy to price out and modify system estimates on-the-fly.

Products/items now have a new Purchase Cost field, which improves multi-currency support by enabling users to accurately track the cost for an item in one currency and present the price for that item in a quote in different currency, regardless of currency conversion.

Inventory Tracking

New Tracknicity and TRXio integrations help integrators manage their inventory, while at the same time ensuring that inventory items, whether pulled from stock or order for a project, are efficiently, seamlessly, and accurately tracked from proposal through being purchased, received, staged, picked, delivered, installed, and serviced, thereby keeping projects on schedule while helping to reduce unnecessary and unwanted inventory buildup and avoid duplicate product purchases.

SI v18 also includes performance enhancements such as faster client report generation on large projects and improved project check-in speed when updating a project.
