D-Tools Inc., the worldwide leader in system integration software recently announced that it demonstrated for ESX attendees a host of new features and enhancements that together, as part of the D-Tools SIX platform, deliver the security industry’s most complete and robust system design, estimation and documentation software platform available.

The new Mobile Quote iOS app has been lauded as being one of the most compelling new features of D-Tools’ SIX 2013 R2 platform. A workflow-enhancing application, Mobile Quote represents a fantastic opportunity for security systems integrators to work with clients in the field to secure an accurate, and immediately deliverable system design quote–before the client has time to second guess the decision or find alternative resources. Moreover, that same quote can then be emailed to the client and imported back into the full desktop version of D-Tools for integration into the project, seamlessly extending the workflow from the office to the field and back. Mobile Quote is an incredibly useful tool that's unrivalled in the marketplace.

New Industry Standard SIA/IAPSC Security Drawing Symbols and J-STD-710 Audio, Video and Control Architectural Drawing Symbols have recently been integrated into the D-Tools System Integrator™ platform. Straightforward and easily recognised, these drawing symbols represent all facets of security, audio, video, and control pre-wire and installation for system designs, blueprints, or schematics, and are consistent with symbols used by Builders, Architects, Interior Designers, CE Manufacturers, Electronic Systems Contractors, and other professional trades.

A New Data Library provides highly valuable integrated analytics and communication systems for manufacturers and the D-Tools user community from within the D-Tools System Integrator software environment, enabling more timely manufacturer pricing updates, special offers, and other relevant information. Designed to create branding opportunities for D-Tools Manufacturer Vantage Point (MVP) Program partners, making their information more visible through the DTConnect feature. Not only does this attract authorised SIX users to MVP brands, it also facilitates additional sales and outreach opportunities for manufacturers participating in the MVP program.

With these additions, the D-Tools software platform is more than just a workflow-enhancing tool for users; it is also a profit-generating program that now provides greater visibility and analytical depth.
