D-Tools has announced the addition of Canada-based Smart Technologies to its Manufacturer Partner Program.

D-Tools’ software, System Integrator 4 (SI 4), enables system integrators and custom installation professionals to create detailed designs, floor plans, schematics, and elevations. Projects are managed with automated proposals, scheduling, pick lists, purchase orders, and additional documents that streamline the integrated installation of audio and video products. The success of D-Tools’ software lies in its ability to manage the entire workflow process using a single, shared project file.

Smart Technologies is both the industry pioneer and global market leader in easy-to-use interactive whiteboards and other group collaboration tools. Smart products include the family of award-winning Smart Board interactive whiteboards, as well as interactive pen displays, interactive digital signage, multimedia cabinets, wireless slates, and software.

A powerful feature of D-Tools' System Integrator 4 enables the user to pull information from a robust database of tens of thousands of products, enhanced through partnerships with some of the industry's most respected companies. The database gives system integrators the distinct advantage of designing systems using the most current product information and saves them hours of product research.

“Smart is committed to developing products that are not only easy to use, but easy to integrate into a variety of environments and industries,” says Scott Tallman, Smart’s vice president, marketing. “Having the full line of Smart products in SI4 will make it easier for integrators using that software to specify and install Smart’s award-winning collaboration tools.”

“Working with Smart Technologies through our Manufacturer Partner Program makes a tremendous amount of sense,” says Adam Stone, president of D-Tools. “Smart is a leader in their industry, setting a high standard of excellence for their products. Our database is improved with an increased amount of quality products that our users have come to expect, and we can offer Smart the enhanced exposure of thousands of system integrators for their product offering.”
