Equipment management for emergency response organisations
Within emergency response organisations, equipment must always be ready for deployment. Whether it concerns breathing apparatus, firefighting equipment, hydraulic rescue tools, vehicles or personal protective equipment, you need to be certain that equipment is inspected, maintained and immediately available when required.
In practice, maintenance records, inspection reports and equipment registrations are often spread across different systems, Excel files or paper forms. As a result, gaining insight into the current status of equipment can be time-consuming, and there is a risk that inspections expire or maintenance is carried out too late.
Centix helps emergency response organisations centrally manage equipment, maintenance and inspections. This ensures you always have insight into the status, location and availability of your equipment, allowing emergency responders to rely on safe and dependable assets.
Centix at emergency response organisations
Safe operations start with reliable equipment management. Centix offers a complete solution for registering, inspecting and managing equipment. Whether it concerns breathing apparatus, firefighting equipment, vehicles or specialised rescue equipment, Centix always gives you insight into the status and availability of your assets, allowing you to respond quickly when needed.
Always maintain insight and control over your equipment
With Centix, you can easily register all equipment within your emergency response organisation. You instantly see where equipment is located, when maintenance is required and whether inspections are still valid.
Thanks to automatic notifications, you always know when inspections and servicing need to be carried out. This helps prevent expired certifications and ensures demonstrable compliance with regulations and standards.
All data is centrally available, providing quick insight into the current status of equipment, maintenance and inspections. You can also easily generate reports and analyses, enabling well-informed decision-making.
Maintenance, inspections and certification in one system
Centix supports emergency response organisations in fully digitising maintenance and inspection activities. Work processes are recorded according to fixed procedures, ensuring activities are carried out consistently and can be demonstrated afterwards.
PAT testing results performed with PAT testers can also be easily imported into Centix. Inspection certificates, inspection reports and maintenance documentation are immediately available digitally. This reduces paperwork and ensures important information can always be retrieved.
Access anytime and anywhere
With Centix OnSite, your team has direct access to important equipment information on-site. By scanning a QR code on the equipment, users can quickly view maintenance status, manuals and inspection dates. Even without an internet connection, the app remains fully operational. This allows employees to continue working both in the workshop and on location.

Flexible and tailored for every emergency response organisation
Every emergency response organisation works differently. That is why Centix can be flexibly configured to match your processes, workshops and equipment flows. Thanks to additional modules, the system adapts to different workflows and operational needs.
Products
With the products module, you centralise equipment data on a product master record. When creating an asset, you link the correct product, after which properties such as brand, type, asset category and dimensions are automatically applied. Manuals, certificates and other documents are also directly linked to the asset. This prevents repetitive data entry and enables your team to work faster and more consistently.
Service requests
With Centix, employees can easily report malfunctions and service requests. By scanning a QR code on the equipment, a form opens immediately and can be completed on the spot. Photos and videos can easily be added, ensuring issues are clearly documented. The back office instantly receives all relevant information to process the request quickly. This results in more efficient handling of service requests and helps keep equipment operational. Service requests are part of the workflow management module.
Planning
With the Centix planning module, emergency response organisations can centrally plan and manage activities, providing greater overview and control over workflows. Activities from multiple workshops are brought together in one central planning environment, creating a complete overview for the team. This supports workload management and efficient scheduling of vehicles for maintenance and inspections, ensuring equipment remains operational and ready for deployment.
