What is AFAS ERP?

AFAS ERP is a cloud-based ERP software with which you can control central business processes in a consistent system. The solution combines CRM, finance, HR & payroll, project management and order-related processes in a common database.

This allows you to avoid duplicate data entry, reduce media disruptions and create a reliable information basis for all areas involved. Instead of working with several individual solutions and additional interfaces, you have access to a consistent system landscape with uniform processes, up-to-date data and clear responsibilities.

AFAS ERP offers clear added value for companies that want to consistently digitize their administration: processes such as invoicing, approvals, time recording, project billing or HR processes are automated and logically linked with each other. One particular advantage is the SaaS provision via AFAS Online. You work entirely in the cloud, receive automatic updates, daily backups and a modern operating environment without having to maintain your own server.

Data sovereignty:

The platform is operated in Europe, the production environment runs in Dutch data centers, backups are stored in Germany for regional disaster recovery. In addition, AFAS includes security mechanisms and verifications such as two-factor authentication, ISO 27001:2022 and ISAE 3402 Type II.

AFAS ERP is particularly suitable for organizations that want to combine transparency, automation and scalability in one system. The software supports you in standardizing operational processes, evaluating them more quickly and making more data-based decisions. Integrated dashboards, mobile use and secure connectors create a platform that not only reduces administrative effort, but also supports growth, process security and collaboration. For interested parties, AFAS ERP is therefore a solution that both stabilizes daily operations and can create the basis for the further digital development of the company.

Advantages of AFAS ERP

  • Standardized database instead of isolated solutions and multiple entries
  • Faster processes thanks to workflows, self services and automation
  • Greater transparency thanks to immediately available dashboards and up-to-date key figures
  • Scalable cloud use without own infrastructure costs
  • Greater process reliability thanks to integrated processes between specialist departments

  • One system for CRM, finance, HR & payroll, projects and order-related processes
  • Shared database for consistent, immediately available information
  • More than 100 preconfigured dashboards for a quick start
  • Workflow automation for approvals, registrations and other standard processes
  • Mobile use via the AFAS Pocket App
  • Standardized best practices that can be used productively quickly
  • Cloud operation with automatic updates and continuous innovation
  • Data sovereignty with hosting in Europe and data storage under European law

Important features

  • CRM functions: centralized management of customers, prospects, suppliers and other relationships, including links to offers, inquiries, invoices and open items
  • Financial functions: automated financial processes, integrated dashboards, standard checks in accounting, support for recurring revenue and digital invoice processing
  • HR & payroll connection: connection of personnel data, absences, times and payroll accounting with financial accounting
  • Project management: time recording, budget and progress control, project accounting, link to financial data and portal access
  • Order and purchasing processes: Support for quotation, procurement, warehouse and billing-related processes with insight into margins and stock levels

  • Mobile use: app access to CRM data, payroll accounting, projects, tasks, time recording and absences
  • Integrations: secure connectors for data exchange with third-party systems in real time
  • AI support: Jonas provides support for summarizing, translating and triggering intelligent workflow actions, among other things

AFAS ERP is therefore particularly interesting for companies that not only want to digitize individual sub-processes, but also build a resilient, integrated process landscape. If you are looking for an ERP solution that combines operational efficiency, transparency and secure cloud use in one system, direct contact with AFAS is a sensible next step.
