10 reasons Domotz is perfect for commercial integrators

In commercial integration, you deal with many technologies on the networks you install. Not only are you responsible for maintaining a network and devices, but you’ve also got to deal with all the audio-visual equipment as well. Lighting systems, sound systems, security cameras, and the list continues. 

As a commercial integrator you probably already know how difficult it can be to ensure all these systems are online and working well for your clients. 

Are you using any tools to ensure all these components of technology are working as they should be? If not, you should be! 

Network monitoring solutions like Domotz can help you achieve better results for your clients while also saving you loads of time. Domotz helps you monitor all your devices, systems, and networks. Additionally, it gives you an added superpower. The software alerts you immediately when something goes wrong and also allows you to fix problems remotely when they occur, keeping your clients happy and saving you time. 

So let’s dive into the top reasons Domotz is the perfect solution to help you as a commercial integrator. Additionally, we’ll look at why our top-rated network monitoring software and commercial integration go hand in hand. 

#1 Easy to Install 

The learning curve is one of the most significant barriers to adopting network monitoring software. This is because up until recently installing network monitoring software required huge amounts of time and resources. Furthermore, these tools were difficult to deploy and maintain. 

On the other hand, Domotz is very easy to use and install. No exaggeration here, we’ve had some of our customers install hundreds of networks for monitoring within a single week. 

Additionally, Domotz does not require certifications or extensive training to operate. It uses a high degree of automation, so you can get your commercial networks set up for monitoring within minutes. What’s more, you can sort of hit the ground running when it comes to getting a monitoring system in place.

#2 Will Give You Remote Control to Any Device

Are you tired of rolling trucks to dispersive locations? 

If yes, secure remote connectivity is the feature that will change your life.

Domotz gives you the ability to remotely connect to ANY device: 

• You can use any protocol you need, from TCP and SSH to RDP, Telnet, and more.
• You can connect from your preferred desktop software using VPN on demand.
• You’ll be able to power-cycle smart plugs, PDUs, network switches, and more.

The result? 

You’ll rely on a single pane of glass to have full visibility and control over everything you manage.

#3 Save Time Troubleshooting

If you’re in the commercial integration business you know that technology does fail and you need to be prepared for when that happens. Problems can arise for many reasons. Whether it be a device that needs a reboot, a device getting unplugged, a faulty configuration, or if you need to patch a device for security purposes, you need to be able to manage your networks and devices remotely.

Domotz is the perfect tool for this because it is not only a monitoring solution but also a remote management system. How it works? It’s simple!

• Customize alerts based on your specific needs. 
• Automatically receive alerts about any issue that can damage your clients.
• Remotely troubleshoot using Domotz. 

This is super handy because it means you can solve problems fast when something does go wrong. Likewise, you can solve problems without having to visit a site. This is especially handy because it solves problems faster (to keep your client happy), and using a remote tool will save you time (to keep yourself happy).

#6 Proactively Monitor Problems

Rather than waiting for disaster to strike, with Domotz, you’re setting up a system to proactively identify problems. This means you’re equipped to identify problems before they impact your clients. 

For example, if a network speed drops below a certain threshold, we’ll send you an alert. This can help you identify if a network has issues before it goes down. In our Manage section on Domotz, you can log in to the software and quickly identify networks with security issues or important devices offline. Additionally, this tells you which networks critically need your assistance. 

All of these features are designed to help you identify problems in advance and put a stop to them. Did somebody say, network superstar? 

#7 Offering an Exceptional Support to Multiple Customers

If you are a commercial integrator, you are keenly aware that you have many customers who expect a high level of service. In fact, you likely have more customers than you can deal with right now.   

The only way you can become more efficient at managing all your customers is with better tools.  

Domotz is a multi-tenant platform that allows you to proactively monitor ALL your customers. This brings efficiencies to your teams and is a valuable labor-saving tool.  You should be focused on the problems that matter and having a tool like Domotz, that gives you immediate awareness of situational issues, is such an important part of helping you scale with all your customers.

#8 Generating Recurring Monthly Revenue

If you install commercial integration technology, Domotz can help you generate more revenue. The software costs a flat monthly subscription per month, per network leaving you plenty of room to build out your services. 

Typically, we see commercial integrators building packages directly around the Domotz offering. You can also charge customers a monthly subscription for monitoring or a flat service fee for maintenance. How you build your package is totally up to you. 

#9 Complies With the Toughest Commercial Integration Security Regulations

In contrast to many other network monitoring tools, Domotz is SOC2-certified. Additionally, it is used in many complex IT environments. This means that if your clients have specific security policies and regulations, you can still adopt Domotz for use in these environments. 

Domotz meets the highest security regulations through our SOC2 certification and previous experience meeting the highest standards. Give your customers more confidence by choosing Domotz and ensuring that you’re using a tool with the highest security standards. 

#10 Offering Custom Dashboards Through APIs

Many commercial integrators want to have a customized dashboard that allows their service and support teams to have direct access to the systems they care about.  

Furthermore, they want to provide their end customers with reports on how well the systems have been performing. 

Domotz makes it super easy to extract information about all your systems through the public APIs. These APIs can be connected to tools like Microsoft’s Power BI for reporting and analytics as well. The APIs are so powerful that you can even establish secure, remote connections and power cycle devices through them, giving your teams a faster and easier troubleshooting platform. This is one part of what makes Domotz unique.

Whether you need to monitor IP cameras or generate recurring revenue and solve more problems remotely, Domotz is the perfect tool for your commercial integration business. It has the features you need to do your job more efficiently and is available at a price point that fits very well with the commercial integration business model.
