“My boss is famous in our office for saying, ‘Where are all the answers found?’ And everybody replies all together, ‘In D-Tools’" -- Dalton Vasquez, AV Calibrations
“When they were first building the company, they needed something that filled in the blanks and brought all of our pieces together, and it has been really helpful for that,” says Dalton Vasquez, project design engineer, who has been with AV Calibrations for several years.
In Vasquez’s role, the software is particularly valuable.
“As an engineer, I like to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. The fact that all of the devices and wiring are interconnected throughout the software is my favorite feature,” he explains. “Also, the level of configurability of every aspect of all the project management… it really is the one stop for all the integration needs that we have.”
Vasquez says D-Tools SI’s ability to keep everyone on track by being a single reference point within the company is vital.
“My boss is famous in our office for saying, ‘Where are all the answers found?’ And everybody replies all together, ‘In D-Tools’,” says Vasquez exuberantly.
