Connect AFAS and Salesforce

Connecting AFAS and Salesforce for a company using both systems could enable the transfer of customer, financial, or operational data between them. This could support unified reporting, reduce manual data entry, and help maintain consistent information across departments. Integration could also make automated workflows between finance, HR, and sales processes possible.

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

Why connect AFAS and Salesforce?

A company that operates both AFAS and Salesforce could benefit from connecting the two systems to enable data to flow between them. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information in both systems, which can be time-consuming and increases the risk of errors. For example, if customer details or sales information are updated in one system but not the other, the records can become inconsistent over time. This could lead to decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, which can have operational and financial consequences. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of data such as customer records, sales orders, invoices, or financial transactions, depending on the needs of the business. This could help ensure that both systems reflect the same up-to-date information, reducing manual work and the potential for discrepancies. The specific data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system allows through its API and must be determined for each 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 Salesforce 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.
