Tools and equipment management for the public sector
Centix is widely used by various government agencies such as municipalities, water boards, safety regions, healthcare institutions and schools. Technical asset management, such as tool management and facility support, is often carried out with Centix. For example, by fire departments for the management of fire engine equipment and barracks. Or by municipalities for issuing and lending materials and tools to the field service. Maintenance and inspections are then logged in Centix, so that there is a better overview of stock, equipment and available tools.
Loan and issuance of materials and tools
Whether you want to organise your entire process with Centix or a part such as maintenance, inspections and tests; Centix offers a wide range of specialised solutions and interfaces with numerous financial and industry software solutions. Because the processes in Centix can be arranged in detail per user role, Centix is very popular in the public sector. In fact, you can build a catalog in Centix, where technical data and documentation are clearly displayed to the user.
The use of modern apps makes it possible for everyone involved to work quickly and efficiently.
