Bold Technologies Ltd., Gurnee, Ill., announced a strategic partnership with Make Sense Software, Cherry Hill, N.J.

The purpose of the partnership is to offer management and billing tools to the segment of the alarm market that does not need an accounting-intensive product but rather, an easy-to-use, cost-effective program that provides recurring billing, receipts, and ongoing customer tracking and service. Alarm Dealer Pro, from Make Sense Software, features ties to QuickBooks (Pro and Premier), so alarm dealers can leverage the simple back-end accounting features in QuickBooks that many are already using.
