AFAS Software is a Dutch family-owned company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Leusden, the Netherlands. The name AFAS stands for “Applications for Administrative Solutions.” The company positions itself as a partner for digital transformation and the simplification of business processes. Its core objective is to help organisations reduce unnecessary administrative effort, duplicate work and error correction, thereby creating more time for quality, efficiency and sustainable business development. AFAS describes its mission as contributing to “better entrepreneurship.”
A key differentiator of AFAS Software is its consistent focus on combining technology with process optimisation. The company presents itself not merely as a software provider, but as an organisation that helps structure, simplify and continuously improve operational workflows. Another distinctive feature is its strong emphasis on corporate social responsibility. AFAS aligns its strategic direction with guiding principles centred on improvement, wellbeing, sustainability and fairness. This commitment is also reflected in its headquarters in Leusden: the AFAS campus includes one of the most sustainable office buildings in the Netherlands, featuring more than 1,000 solar panels, intelligent sensor systems and a local energy infrastructure. The campus buildings are certified BREEAM Outstanding.
AFAS Software operates from several locations. In addition to its headquarters in Leusden, the company is also present in Kontich (Belgium), Willemstad (Curaçao) and Oranjestad (Aruba). In the area of compliance and quality assurance, AFAS refers to certifications and standards such as ISO 27001, ISO 9001, NEN 7510 and ISAE 3402 Type II. The company also states that, in 2023, it became the first organisation in the Netherlands to achieve Level 5 of the MVO Prestatieladder, the highest level of this CSR certification framework.
