Centix webshop: faster ordering, fewer errors, and complete control
Do you still place orders by phone, on paper, or via email? Then you will be familiar with the challenges: uncertainty about what has been ordered, duplicate requests, and no up-to-date overview. For internal and external lending or rental, this can lead to delays, higher costs, and frustration.
With the webshop in Centix Online, lending and renting become not only easier, but also more efficient and cost-effective. Everything is clearly organised in one central system, without the risk of communication issues.
Efficient ordering via the Centix webshop
A foreman who needs equipment can find it immediately in the Centix webshop – also known as the catalogue or equipment register. This provides instant access to all available tools and materials at a glance. No more loose notes, phone calls, or unclear emails: every order is processed through one centralised and transparent system.
Thanks to the clear structure with categories and subcategories, smart filters, a practical search function, and the option to compare products, foremen can always find the right equipment quickly. With a single click, items go straight into the shopping basket. Is the order complete? Then the foreman simply enters the delivery location, specifies when the equipment is needed, and indicates when it will be returned.

Then the foreman simply enters the delivery location, specifies when the equipment is needed, and indicates when it will be returned.
The order is then sent directly to the back office or warehouse, where it is processed and prepared for delivery. In the past, warehouse staff were overwhelmed with individual phone calls, emails, WhatsApp messages, and requests from foremen at the counter. These requests were often incomplete or unclear: the required equipment was sometimes out of stock, or it was not clear whether the foreman would collect it themselves or whether the warehouse needed to arrange delivery. This led to unnecessary frustration.
With the webshop, that is now a thing of the past. All requests are received in full and in a consistent, structured format. By making the return date a mandatory field, warehouse staff also know exactly when equipment will become available again. The result: a far more efficient workflow, with greater clarity, calm, and control in the warehouse.
“Before Centix, we worked with a separate webshop where orders had to be entered into the system manually. That manual work has now disappeared, and we no longer have disputes between operators and warehouse staff.”
Smart features in the Centix webshop
The Centix webshop offers more than just a product overview. Its smart features make ordering faster and easier.
Configurable products
Do you stock items in multiple variants, such as work trousers in different colours and sizes, or spanners in various dimensions? The configurable product option keeps your catalogue clear and well-organised. All variants are grouped under a single product, while users can simply choose the right size, colour, or version when placing their order. This ensures they can find what they need more quickly, without the catalogue becoming unnecessarily large or confusing.
Composed product
Would you like to combine multiple products into a single set? With the composed product option, you can bundle individual items into one orderable product. For example, a complete set of construction fences – including feet, couplings, and transport blocks. Instead of selecting each part separately, the user can add the entire set to the order with a single click. This makes ordering faster and easier, while also preventing parts from being forgotten.
Crosslinks
Crosslinks allow you to easily connect related products to a main product. Think of accessories, attachments, or consumables – for instance, grinding discs for an angle grinder. During the ordering process, the user can immediately see which additional products are available and order them at the same time. This ensures essential tools and accessories are not overlooked.
Alternatives
When a product is unavailable, the webshop automatically suggests a suitable alternative. This prevents delays and simplifies the ordering process. Instead of searching for replacement products themselves, users can instantly choose from available alternatives.
