ADI integrates with D-Tools software solutions

ADI Global Distribution announced it has integrated with D-Tools business management software solutions, D-Tools Cloud and System Integrator. Customers can now access ADI’s full product offering directly from the D-Tools software interface.

According to the companies, D-Tools software is designed to drive sales and improve operating efficiency by streamlining the entire project workflow — including estimating and proposals, system design and documentation, procurement, project management, installation, and ongoing service — all through a data-driven process that leverages an extensive, integrated product library. Through this integration, ADI customers can  enter their ADI account number to access detailed product information, get real-time pricing, prepare quotes and place orders at ADI, directly from within D-Tools software.

“Building strategic supplier relationships to further support our software users is a top priority for D-Tools. ADI is a leading distributor in the security and AV market and we’re proud to be working with them,” said Barrie McCorkle, director of supplier programs at D-Tools in a company press release.

“Through this integration, we’re helping customers save time by alleviating the workload that comes from managing product data and the procurement process, so they can drive sales and increase productivity companywide.”

D-Tools states its software is used by thousands of residential and commercial security system installers and AV systems integrators across the low voltage industry. Suitable for smaller projects, D-Tools Cloud offers a web-based solution that streamlines the sales and project management process from any device. For larger projects, D-Tools System Integrator is an end-to-end on-premises solution that streamlines the entire project workflow, from initial client contract through engineering drawings and ongoing service.

“By integrating with D-Tools, dealers have easy access to ADI’s complete product offering, pricing and ordering capabilities from the project building platform. This helps improve proposal turnaround times, streamline project workflows and improve productivity,” added Bob Appleby, vice president and general manager of ADI North America, in a company statement.
