Centranum is a configurable workforce competency platform that connects role requirements with skills, qualifications, assessments, evidence, and readiness. Organizations can import their own frameworks or adapt reference libraries, using version control and change tracking. Role mapping, gap reporting, and reports on competency levels, trends, certifications, and compliance help track workforce capabilities. Assessments can combine observation, validation forms, evidence uploads, and knowledge tests, with configurable rating models, indicator-level scoring, multiple assessor types, and approval workflows. Identified gaps can be tied to development plans and learning resources. Integrations with HRIS and LMS systems exchange user data, training completions, and learning resources through APIs or structured data exchange; standard APIs also import and update payroll and HR data. Deployment options include cloud, on-premises, and region-specific hosting. Centranum says customer databases are logically isolated, data is encrypted in transit using TLS, and role-based access controls, configurable permissions, and audit trails are available. It reports two independent SOC 2 Type II audits. Established in 2001, the platform is aimed at knowledge-intensive and regulated or operational organizations. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available by request.
