Connect AFAS and Symson

Connecting AFAS and Symson for a company could enable the transfer of relevant data between the two platforms, supporting more efficient workflows and reducing manual data entry. This connection could allow information such as financial records, HR data, or analytics to be exchanged, depending on each system’s capabilities and the company’s specific integration requirements.

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

Why connect AFAS and Symson?

A company that operates both AFAS and Symson could benefit from connecting the two systems to enable more efficient data exchange. Without such a connection, employees may need to enter the same information separately into each system, which increases the risk of errors and consumes unnecessary time. Additionally, when data is maintained in two places without automated synchronization, records can diverge over time, resulting in inconsistencies that make it difficult to obtain a clear and accurate view of the business. Decision-making could then be based on outdated or incomplete information, undermining operational effectiveness. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of data such as employee details, financial records, planning information, or analytics, depending on what each system is designed to manage and the needs of the business. The specific types of data that can be exchanged would depend on the technical capabilities and data structures of AFAS and Symson. 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 Symson 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.
