What is PC Integration (PCI)?

PC Integration (PCI) is a value-added service that brings the purchasing of a PC, DPA, and OEM diagnostic software into one purchase order and one shipment.

PCI includes everything you need to begin diagnosing your vehicles and equipment right "out-of-the-box".

Purchasing a diagnostic PC "kit-complete", loaded with the OEM applications you use saves time, money and frustration. PCI is much easier than managing multiple vendors, purchase orders, invoices, and receivables. The bottom line is that PCI allows your maintenance professionals to spend more time servicing vehicles rather than installing, configuring and troubleshooting OEM applications, adapters and PCs.

Why Choose PC Integration?

Here are a few reasons customers choose a PCI program:

It takes time and money to manage multiple vendors, purchase orders, invoices, and receivables.
It is easier to order and receive a complete "diagnostic kit" from a single supplier.

PCI purchasing decisions usually boil down to the amount of time required to purchase, receive, pay for, and configure a PC, VDA, and applications along with the availability of personnel qualified to do that kind of work. Large fleets understand what a monumental task this can be...

The DG PCI Program Philosophy

The DG PCI program philosophy is simple:

Ordering is easy, one purchase order, one shipment.
No need to purchase a "pre-defined" kit that includes software you don't need.
Your order is "hand-built" and "hand-tested" with only the items you order.
All OEM software is registered to the end-user before you receive the PC.
All OEM software has been configured and tested before the PC ships.
There is no need to wade through a myriad of PC choices.
