LAS VEGAS, NV — Business management software provider D-Tools and cloud-based fire alarm CAD solution FireCAD, powered by Inspect Point today 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,” according to the joint announcement.
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,” the announcement says.
By connecting FireCAD’s submittal-ready design tools with D-Tools’ 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,” according to the joint announcement.
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 is 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,” according to the joint announcement.
“Partnering with FireCAD allows D-Tools to deliver a seamless workflow by connecting fire system design with estimating and project execution,” says Randy Stearns, CEO of D-Tools, in the announcement. “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,” says Anthony Conte, vice president of engineering at FireCAD, in the announcement. “By pairing FireCAD’s design intelligence with D-Tools’ operational backbone, we’re creating a smarter pipeline from layout to install.”
