System integration software developers D-Tools Inc and The Cinema Designer (TCD), a cloud-based cinema design software, today announced the official integration between the two platforms.

System integrators using both platforms will now be able to use TCD’s home cinema design tool with D-Tools’ System Integrator (SI) platform for a combined, all-in-one cinema design and documentation solution. These software tools can streamline an integration firm’s process from initial cinema concept and design, through to calculating local area pricing for products and labor.

The combination of D-Tools’ estimation, design and documentation capabilities, along with TCD’s cloud-based home cinema design tool provides system integrators and installers aims to streamline the manual, labor-intensive process of designing a residential theater, while taking care of all estimation and project management.

D-Tools chief marketing officer Tim Bigoness commented on the collaboration: “The integration with The Cinema Designer will greatly benefit our customers who are designing dedicated cinemas and media rooms, providing a connected workflow from conception through installation—helping them confidently deliver projects of the highest quality to their customers.”

D-Tools is distributed in Australia by Convergent Technologies.
