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.
| Type | Fields you fill in |
|---|---|
| Commercial | Company name, VAT number, Chamber of Commerce number, contact person |
| Particular | First 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 If they are simply no longer active, leave the record in place so their work orders and invoices stay intact.
