Connect AFAS and IWD

Connecting AFAS and IWD for a company using both systems could enable the transfer of relevant data between them, reducing manual data entry and supporting more consistent information management. Such an integration could help align processes managed in AFAS with activities tracked in IWD, depending on the specific business needs and data flows required.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between AFAS and IWD around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect AFAS and IWD?

A company operating both AFAS and IWD could benefit from connecting these systems to enable the exchange of data and improve operational efficiency. Without such a connection, staff may be required to manually enter the same data into both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. Over time, this manual process can lead to discrepancies between records, resulting in data that is inconsistent or outdated in one or both systems. These issues could undermine decision-making, as managers might rely on figures that no longer reflect the current situation. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of data such as employee information, payroll details, time and attendance records, or other HR and workforce management data, depending on the functional overlap between AFAS and IWD. The specific data exchanged would depend on the business processes in place and the degree to which each system is used within the organization. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what AFAS and IWD make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
