Meridian Audio has announced a partnership with D-Tools, Inc. to offer its US dealers access to its leading core business solutions, intended to increase efficiencies and streamline project workflows for system integration companies.
Through its System Integrator software, and cloud-based platform, D-Tools Cloud, D-Tools manages all aspects of an integrator’s business, including sales, comprehensive system design, project documentation, procurement, installation, back office management, and service, through a data-driven process that leverages an extensive and integrated product library.
As part of the partnership and to demonstrate its commitment to dealers, Meridian has joined the D-Tools i3 (Industry Information & Insight) Programme, which helps to improve communication between manufacturers and dealers by providing access to accurate, up-to-date product specifications, including unique dealer-specific pricing, for use in the design, sale and purchasing of AV systems.
“This new partnership will allow our US dealers to develop their business, and in turn offer the best possible solutions for their clients,” commented Katy Bradshaw, director of marketing at Meridian Audio.
“It allows Meridian US dealers to gain access to a 45-day free trial of the D-Tools software and the complete Meridian product line, complete with their specific dealer pricing level, designed to help increase productivity and profitability.”
Barrie McCorkle, director of supplier programs at D-Tools, added: “Meridian is the epitome of high-quality audio and they are dedicated to providing incredible customer service to their US dealers. Having these relationships with top tier manufacturers is exciting because it shows the dedication that drives a dealer’s business, and really makes a difference.”
The partnership also means that D-Tools is now part of Meridian’s complimentary Design and Specification Service (D&SS), which allows dealers to plan projects as efficiently and accurately as possible with solutions from all DbM partners.
