Published: April 28, 2026

D-Tools SI v24 is out, and with it, the company is introducing some new features aimed at enhancing real-time collaboration on the software. Additional updates being added in SI v24 also look to improve financial, operational and administrative control.

Details of SI v24 were originally previewed ahead of ISE 2026, with today’s announcement expanding upon the set of features being introduced in the update.

What’s Being Added to SI v24

The centerpiece of SI v24 is its new multi-user project editing feature, which allows team members across sales, design, engineering and installation to work on the same project simultaneously, removing the wait time on sequential handoffs.

Changes are saved automatically to reduce version conflicts and help accelerate project delivery. Alongside this feature, SI v24 also includes a Gantt chart export to Microsoft Project, enabling integration teams to share detailed timelines with architects, contractors and other stakeholders outside of their core team.

G Paul Hess (who was recently appointed as CEO of D-Tools), said, “When project teams collaborate without bottlenecks, financials stay accurate across every job, and workflows match how the business actually runs, integrators can take on more work, protect their margins, and grow with confidence.”

SI v24 also introduces several features to improve financial, operational and administrative control:

  • Financial precision: Custom timesheet fields and tax configuration by labor type improve cost accuracy.
  • Catalog consistency: System types can now be assigned at the Catalog level, reducing setup time.
  • Change order governance: New permission levels provide clearer oversight of scope changes.
  • Enterprise scalability: Optional deployment on Azure Load Balancer supports larger firms.
  • Mobile workforce support: The Mobile Install app now handles file transfers up to 100MB.
  • Administrative control: Update notifications can be limited to SI Admins for better change management.

When is D-Tools SI v24 Available?

D-Tools SI v24 is available now for all SI software users.
