D-Tools System Integrator V21 Named 2024 MVP Award Winner
D-Tools System Integrator V21, an updated business management software for security integrators featuring Dark Mode, enhanced scheduling, documentation, and bulk data management integrated with a vast product library, has won the prestigious 2024 Security Sales & Integration Most Valuable Product Award for Business Operations at ISC West, recognized for its design, innovation, and operational efficiency benefits.
D-Tools System Integrator (SI) V21 has received the Security Sales & Integration 2024 Most Valuable Product (MVP) Award in the category of Business Operations. SI v21 is an update to the company’s industry-leading software solution for security integrators, featuring new capabilities such as Dark Mode, streamlined scheduling and documentation, improved bulk data management, and more. The software integrates with D-Tools’ Product Library, which includes over 1.6 million products with dealer-level pricing.
The MVP Awards, presented at ISC West 2024 in Las Vegas, are among the most prestigious product awards in the electronic security market. These awards recognize the best technologies, products, and solutions that help keep lives and property safe.
Dan Ferrisi, group editor for commercial and security at Emerald, stated, "The Most Valuable Product (MVP) Awards seek to honor vendors whose products and solutions achieve the highest aspiration in the electronic security industry: They keep people, property and physical environments safe. There could be no ambition more laudable."
He added, "Our independent panel of judges carefully considered each entry, evaluating these solutions on the basis of design and technological innovation, differentiating functional features and key integrator benefits. As such, the installer and integrator community can feel supremely confident when designing and spec'ing an MVP Award winner."
Tim Bigoness, Chief Marketing Officer at D-Tools, described SI v21 as an end-to-end business management software solution designed for security integration companies.
“System Integrator (SI) V21 streamlines project workflows for improved operational efficiencies and healthier bottom-line results for security integrators,” says Bigoness. “The software ensures accurate, up-to-date dealer-level pricing via the D-Tools Product Library, reducing data entry time. SI helps avoid the risk of human error and inefficiency of duplicate entry through integrations with QuickBooks and other accounting solutions.
“Moreover, System Integrator enables security integrators to generate reports on internal business analytics. Using that data, dealers can refine their business models and operations to focus on growing revenues and profits,” he adds.
Key New Features of SI V21
- Dark Mode: Reduces eye strain during prolonged periods of screen time, allowing security integrators to spend longer durations within the D-Tools SI platform, leading to increased productivity.
- Bulk Data Management: Simplified with the ability to use a checklist to import/export CSV files. This makes it quicker and reduces errors when moving, updating, sharing, or archiving large amounts of data within a large security project or across projects.
- Quantity-based Quoting: Allows salespeople to develop a scope and budget for large security projects in a fraction of the time. Projects now support the ability to manage line items (products, labor, and packages) by quantity.
- Submittals: Integrators can now add files or links to products, such as spec sheets and installation manuals. This feature allows for more efficient file organization and expedites the closeout process for delivering final documentation to clients.
- Other New Features: Integration with QuickBooks Time, improved product search functionality, and several time-saving enhancements to Mobile Install.
