Equipment management for civil engineering companies
Equipment management software from Centix is widely used in civil engineering companies. The Centix software is often connected to ERP software packages such as Metacom or SAP. With these kinds of connections, all maintenance and inspections are carried out in detail with Centix. The ‘small’ equipment is rented out via Centix, and the ‘large’ equipment is rented out or booked through exploitation in the ERP solution. It is often heard that Centix is made in detail for the equipment service and covers needs that are not possible with the ERP solution.
With simple QR-code stickers your employees can request information such as manuals and inspection certificates quickly and easily. But also reporting a malfunction and viewing the malfunctions that have already been reported is easy with Centix. By using various Centix Apps logistics, workshop activities and other actions can be tracked directly during work.
With Centix, all those involved have real-time information and the right tool at their disposal for all material-related tasks.
In a short time, the contracting company Ploegam has grown into a sizeable business, with not only more people but also considerably more equipment. To manage its equipment and create an overview of its entire product range, the Oss-based builder turned to Centix.
Richard from Ploegam: “With Centix, we now have a clear picture of our maintenance history and are automatically notified when a piece of equipment needs to be inspected.”
Equipment management in practice
Centix has demonstrable experience at both large and medium civil engineering companies. In addition to our standard functionality, we also offer customers specific solutions in the field of ship or pipeline management and other operational systems.
The use of Centix makes it possible to switch quickly from request to deployment. Thanks to the modern apps and connectivity options, Centix can easily work from ‘simple’ requesting workwear to preparing a million-dollar job.
With the possibilities in Centix, it is easy to make a difference in, for example, maintenance and inspections on relatively ‘easy’ to manage electrical tools to far-reaching integration with large equipment with sensors and (automatic) malfunction reporting.
