Allegion announced the first integration between Overtur™, Allegion's digital environment connecting all building phases in opening design, construction and ongoing management, and Software for Hardware®. This announcement comes in advance of this week's DHI conNextions, where both companies will be demonstrating the collaboration. Contract and Integrated Hardware dealers who engage Allegion on specifications written by Allegion's Architectural Services, or who use Overtur platform themselves for opening specification writing and collaboration, can now export hardware specification information to Software for Hardware's platform and continue to the project process. Overtur's comprehensive platform enables all project team members to collaborate on a project's opening data. In the design phase, collaborators can upload plans and door schedules through a plugin within Autodesk's Revit program or by directly uploading Adobe PDFs and Microsoft Excel documents. Once loaded, hardware consultants can assign and configure individual products to each opening, such as a lock, a closer or an exit device. Once finalized, project information is available in multiple formats, including Hardware Set schedules and a fully written specification. Customers who use Overtur for their opening specifications (either through Allegion's Architectural Services or on their own) can now further benefit from this technology. Once the opening information is finalized, customers can export their data into the Software for Hardware platform without the need for manual entry of data. Once imported to Software for Hardware, customers can add necessary configuration and dimensional information for estimating and submittals.
