Syncentra

Customers

Register customers, keep contacts current and manage their sites.

Everything in Syncentra hangs off a customer: work orders, contracts, log books and invoices all point back to one. Getting the record right once saves retyping it on every job.

Adding a customer

Open Customers → Add Customer and choose the type first, because it changes the fields you get.

TypeFields you fill in
CommercialCompany name, VAT number, Chamber of Commerce number, contact person
ParticularFirst name and surname

Both types then take an email address, phone number and full address — street, house number, postcode and city.

Fill in VAT and Chamber of Commerce numbers

These appear on invoices, and a business customer needs them to sign in to the client portal. Entering them now avoids chasing the customer later.

Contacts

A customer can have several contacts — the person who reports faults is often not the person who pays. Add them under Customers → Contacts so the right name and number appear on the work order.

Sites

A site (locatie) is a physical address where work happens. One customer can have many: a chain might have twenty branches under one account.

Add sites under Customers → Sites. Each work order and log book points at a site, so a technician always knows where to drive.

Installations

Within a site sit the installations — the individual cooling systems. Installations are what log books track and what technicians record work against. Registering them properly means:

  • Work orders can link straight to the right system.
  • Log books prefill their technical details.
  • The service history stays attached to the equipment, not just the address.

Finding a customer

Use the search box to filter by name, email, phone or address. Clear resets it.

From the Actions menu on a row you can:

  • Edit — update the customer's information.
  • Delete — remove the record. This cannot be undone.
  • Client portal access — give the customer a PIN to view their own records. See Client portal.

Deleting removes history

Deleting a customer is permanent. If they are simply no longer active, leave the record in place so their work orders and invoices stay intact.
