k2 Dealer Services: From the first day that we started our company as a CI dealer we were D-Tools customers. From the very start we knew that we needed an advanced system to not only design and engineer our projects and show off our abilities to our clients but also to make sure that we were not missing anything in our proposals and ensuring that we were allocating enough labor.  Over the last 10 years we have seen vast advancements in the D-Tools software that have helped us in every way.  k2 Dealer Services was started in 2007 to assist Custom Electronic Installers and Systems Integrators in three critical categories: System Design & Documentation; Programming Services; and Consulting/Training Services.  k2 Dealer Services offers a full range of services to the Custom Installer and Systems Integrator.
