Switching up your business processes to implement new software is a big change and can be very overwhelming.
We here at D-Tools have teams dedicated to helping with the onboarding/implementation as well as answering questions or providing training to help you get the most out of your software investment. With the goal of reducing the stress around the idea of change management and the time it will take to truly get up and running with D-Tools software – or if you have been a
D-Tools user for some time, to help you utilize the software to its fullest!
Our account managers, professional services consultants, and support team members are all here to help support you, and our customers – to help guide you via training, engage in meaningful conversations, and offer ongoing support. Our goal is not only to help you successfully implement our software but to ensure your continued growth and success.
“At D-Tools we provide dedicated Account Managers that are your internal D-Tools advocates. They are here to assist with general questions, coordinate assessments on the use of D-Tools and are your primary point of contact regarding your D-Tools account. Our Customer Support team is here to support you with technical, usability and general questions regarding the software. They can be reached by email, open a support ticket, or chat, and are available Monday - Friday from 2:00am - 8:00pm ET. And we also have our Professional Services team to support D-Tools customers with advanced implementation, best practices, custom report development (SI only) and provide guidance on the best use of the software. The team is mixed with previous integrators and highly technical resources.”
-Zach Campbell, COO and Director of Customer Experience
D-Tools offers a range of resources, both free and paid, to support you in all stages of utilizing our software:
