Stardraw expands US Reseller network with Simply Reliable Software

Following the announcement in May of Dove Net Technologies becoming Stardraw.com's first US national reseller, Stardraw is delighted to expand their reseller network in North America with the appointment of Massachusetts-based Simply Reliable Software.

SRS is known best within the residential installation market where their own application, SRS SmartOffice, offers systems integrators a fully-featured, database-driven software tool to manage the complete business process of custom installations, from contact management, prospect tracking, proposal generation right through to scheduling, billing and project management. Stardraw marketing director Rob Robinson is very pleased to welcome SRS on board. "Once again we have succeeded in marrying two complementary applications to create a balanced and integrated whole; Stardraw adds value to SRS by providing the front-end drawing package for their business management tool while the commercial partnership meets our strategic objectives in terms of penetration into what is for us a relatively new market. The relationship works beautifully for everyone."

SRS creator Jonathan Knapp agrees wholeheartedly. "When I first started SRS, it was with the specific intention of creating a software tool to manage the business process for custom installations firms. The result is SRS SmartOffice. SRS's interest in engineering is to automate redundant data entry and streamline the engineering process. There are several drawing products that my clients use but, unfortunately, the solutions that currently exist in this market were not specifically designed for electronic systems design and have often been described as unsatisfactory, both in terms of ease of use and operation. When I was introduced to Stardraw, I saw the strength of the simple, intuitive user interface, the availability of a significant product library, and the ability to view a project in different views including schematic and rack layout. I am excited to be able to offer this software to my customers."

"The product that is going to make all the difference for me is Stardraw A/V Lite," continued Knapp. “It allows you to create your designs to exactly the same standard as other Stardraw packages since it uses the same intuitive but powerful drawing engine. Furthermore, you can customize your symbols library to select what you require from a vast range of manufacturers. Better still, the SRS / Stardraw interface extracts all of the information contained in the technical drawing within Stardraw and transfers the data to SRS SmartOffice so that the two applications can work together seamlessly. It's an efficient and elegant solution, and because it's based on Stardraw A/V Lite it remains extremely cost-effective. I think this could be the ultimate answer to our customers' needs!"
