Connect AFAS and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM

Connecting AFAS and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM for a company using both could enable the transfer of customer, financial, or operational data between the platforms. This could support unified reporting, reduce manual data entry, and improve data consistency across finance, HR, and customer management functions, depending on the specific configuration and business requirements.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between AFAS and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect AFAS and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM?

A company that operates both AFAS and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM could benefit from connecting these systems in order to ensure that information flows efficiently between them. Without such a connection, staff may be required to enter the same data into both systems, which can be time-consuming and increases the risk of errors. Over time, discrepancies can arise as records in one system are updated but not reflected in the other, leading to situations where teams make decisions based on outdated or inconsistent information. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of data such as customer records, contact details, sales information, and possibly financial transactions. This could help maintain consistency across departments, improve reporting accuracy, and reduce administrative overhead. The specific data that could be exchanged would depend on how each system is used within the organization and the capabilities of their respective APIs. Ultimately, what can be exchanged is determined by what each system exposes through its API and must be defined for each situation individually.

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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM 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.
