CONCORD, CA — July 13, 2017 — D-Tools, Inc. announced a major new release of its award-winning System Integrator 2017 (SI 2017) software platform. Available immediately worldwide, D-Tools has enhanced its robust Cloud infrastructure by adding significant new capabilities and performance improvements including a new Customer Portal, which enables D-Tools users to publish project documents to the web for client comment, acceptance and e-signature approval – from any Internet-enabled device.

The increasingly mobile workforce demands easy access to documents from anywhere and at any time. Built on the D-Tools Cloud infrastructure, the new Customer Portal facilitates collaboration and increases client engagement, even across time zones and mobile platforms. Users can share proposals, contracts, change orders, drawings, cut sheets, user manuals and other client-facing documents via the web. To review, comment, and accept (or reject) the documents presented, clients simply click on the emailed link and login to a secure web portal. This new web-enabled, device-agnostic capability expedites client communication and approvals, to keep projects moving forward and ensure that timelines and budgets are met.

“Our latest release includes many efficiency-minded enhancements, two of which I am particularly excited about—the new Customer Portal and the Quick Quote tool.  Like with D-Tools’ Purchasing Portal that allows users to issue POs to vendors and for vendors to comment and accept or reject the PO, the Customer Portal extends that cloud infrastructure by enabling users to share any document created or stored in D-Tools with their clients (and others) for comment and approval. This is a significant leap forward for those who seek direct and efficient communication channels in an increasingly mobile world,” said D-Tools CEO Randy Stearns. “The new Quick Quote feature is perfect for upgrades, add-ons and/or product-only (i.e. retail) sales to existing (or new) clients. Built as a generic report, it can be easily modified for use as a Change Order, Sales Order, Service Work Order or any transaction that doesn’t warrant an in-depth proposal, detailed scope of work, and formal contract agreement. It is my hope that these two new features will streamline the project workflow process for D-Tools customers worldwide.”

Additional new features included in the SI 2017 update include:

• Quick Quote Report – New report that combines client, project, and contract details, such as scope of work, pricing, and payment terms, into a single, easy-to-read document – ideal for smaller jobs.

• New Report Theme Editor – Enables the creation of custom report themes, builds on the new report themes introduced as part of SI 2017, and enables customization of colors for report objects such as headers, footers, and fonts.

To demonstrate the benefits of SI 2017 and the new Customer Portal, D-Tools will host a webinar on Wednesday, July 26, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. PST. Register here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/7065202619164707330.
