Huisman: “With Centix, we have restored overview and structure in our processes”

Huisman Equipment operates globally in lifting and handling equipment. With Centix, the organisation has centralised its asset management, maintenance and inspections. This results in greater overview, less manual work and more efficient processes across both maintenance and the warehouse. Judith Schoemaker and Reinaldo Jardim share their experiences.

Strengthening our security model

Digital security is no longer a secondary concern but a fundamental requirement for organisations working with systems and data. Many cyber incidents do not start with a complex attack, but with access to an account. That is why we are strengthening our platform’s security model. With this step, we reduce the risk of unauthorised access and contribute to a secure digital working environment for our customers.

Ensuring privacy and security in your Centix environment

Centix is ISO 27001 certified, demonstrating that we take privacy and information security seriously. At the same time, it is important that you, as an organisation, also handle personal data and information with due care. Today, 28 January, on International Data Protection Day, we would like to take a moment to reflect on this. That is why we are sharing a number of practical tips to help you protect your data within your Centix environment.

“The Centix Marketplace is the meeting place where supply and demand come together” – John de Rooij about the new Marketplace

The Centix Marketplace for inspection companies has been launched and offers organisations a central platform to showcase their services to Centix users. It is the first step towards a larger ecosystem. Thanks to Centix2Centix, data exchange between environments is handled fully automatically and securely. What that looks like in practice is explained by John de Rooij, Product Owner at Centix.

Why an inspection sticker is still indispensable – despite QR codes

The QR code stickers from Centix provide quick access to inspection reports, manuals, and maintenance data for work equipment. While the QR code offers digital details, the inspection sticker remains important for immediate checking before use, allowing professionals to quickly see whether a piece of equipment has been inspected. Together, they ensure optimal safety and efficiency.

More insight into the status of your or the end-users’ objects with the ‘change status’ widget

Every inspector knows the scenario: you arrive at a customer and tools or equipment are missing. We have developed a useful addition to our software, especially for scenarios like this: the ‘change status’ widget. The new widget makes it easy for end-users with limited access rights to mark a lost object in the system as ‘history’ or, conversely, mark an object previously reported as lost as ‘active’ again.
