Tools and equipment management for the public sector
Centix is widely used by various government agencies such as municipalities, water boards, Local Resilience Forums (LRF), 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.
