Two years ago, Enrico van der Veen (22) started out on his own, taking on side jobs and managing everything manually on paper. Today, he runs his company full-time, specialising in inspection and maintenance services. With around 250 customers and a large number of assets to manage, he turned to Centix for support. “Without Centix, I wouldn’t be able to do my work effectively anymore!”
Extra service
Enrico uses Centix Online to manage machinery and assets for his largest customers, such as construction company Buiteveld and installation company De Haan. From steps, ladders and aerial work platforms to entire installations, he registers, inspects and maintains everything using Centix Online. The entrepreneur sees clear advantages in allowing customers to log in themselves to view their equipment and assets. “If they’re looking for tools or equipment, they simply enter the machine or tool number and can immediately see its location and when it needs to be inspected again.”
For his customers, using Centix is therefore an important unique selling point (USP). Enrico sees it as an additional service made possible by Centix. “Customers receive automatic notifications for inspections and have a complete overview,” he explains. “With Centix, you build a full history for every machine, which allows you to track usage and see how quickly certain machines wear out.” He continues: “Imagine this situation: a customer recently replaced a machine, but it already needs replacing again. With the detailed records in Centix Online, we can investigate why that has happened. If machines are missing from inspection records, Centix quickly shows where they are. In addition, carrying out additional checks to ensure everything is covered becomes much easier with Centix Online.”
Enrico: “The implementation was tailored to my specific requirements.”
Reduced error rate
Enrico’s customers appreciate the well-organised equipment management made possible by Centix. According to him, it not only saves time but also significantly improves efficiency. He explains: “My workdays are already quite long, but without Centix I wouldn’t have any downtime at all. Another feature I really value is the ability to import values directly from the PAT tester. You simply connect the device to the computer and it integrates seamlessly with Centix. This means I no longer have to record values on paper first and then enter them into the computer, which greatly reduces the risk of errors.”
Collaboration with Centix
In the near future, Enrico plans to incorporate Centix’s QR code stickers into his workflow. “Starting next year, I plan to attach these stickers to machines so they can be easily scanned, giving direct access to each machine’s data,” he explains. He is very satisfied with his collaboration with Centix. “During the implementation process, they paid close attention to my needs. Whenever I had a question, I received a quick response. I’m confident that any issues that arise will be resolved quickly. It has been a very smooth and pleasant experience.”
