LAS VEGAS, NV — June 16, 2025 — D-Tools, a leading provider of business management software for electronics systems contractors, and FireCAD, powered by Inspect Point, a cloud-based fire alarm CAD solution, are pleased to announce a strategic integration to be unveiled at the 2025 NFPA Conference & Expo.
This partnership represents a significant opportunity for fire and security industry professionals, combining D-Tools' end-to-end business management capabilities with FireCAD’s purpose-built tools for fire alarm system design and documentation.
Streamlining Fire System Design and Project Execution
This integration marks a pivotal step in bridging a critical gap that currently exists between system design and ongoing project execution for fire and life safety contractors. By connecting FireCAD’s submittal-ready design tools with D-Tools’ comprehensive System Integrator (SI) platform, the collaboration empowers teams to move seamlessly from riser diagrams and device schedules to estimating, selling, and managing projects - all within a unified workflow.
FireCAD streamlines fire alarm system layout with automated calculations, an extensive manufacturer parts library, and code-aligned outputs that simplify AHJ approvals. Once finalized, system designs can be pushed into D-Tools for quoting, project management, procurement, and field execution, closing the loop between CAD and ERP.
The result? Reduced re-entry of data, fewer errors, faster project starts, and a fully connected design-to-delivery experience.
API-Driven Integration Targeted for Q3 2025
Slated for release in Q3 2025, the upcoming integration will leverage D-Tools' API to import FireCAD system data - including device counts, wiring details, and specifications - into D-Tools SI for proposal generation, procurement, project management, and even extending through to service plans and the management thereof.
“Partnering with FireCAD allows D-Tools to deliver a seamless workflow by connecting fire system design with estimating and project execution,” said Randy Stearns, CEO of D-Tools. “Together, we are better equipped to serve the evolving needs of low-voltage system professionals in the fire protection sector.”
“This integration connects what’s designed with what’s delivered,” added Anthony Conte, VP of Engineering at FireCAD. “By pairing FireCAD’s design intelligence with D-Tools’ operational backbone, we’re creating a smarter pipeline from layout to install.”
