Connect BigCommerce and AFAS

Connecting BigCommerce and AFAS for a company that uses both could enable the automated transfer of sales orders, customer data, and inventory information between the e-commerce platform and the business administration system. This could reduce manual data entry, help maintain accurate records, and support more efficient financial and operational processes.

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

Why connect BigCommerce and AFAS?

A company that operates both BigCommerce and AFAS could benefit from connecting these systems to enable the flow of information between their online storefront and back-office processes. Without such a connection, employees may have to enter the same data into both systems, increasing the risk of errors and consuming additional time. Manual processes can also lead to discrepancies between records in each system, making it harder to keep information consistent and up to date. This can result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data, which can affect customer satisfaction, inventory management, and financial reporting. If these systems were connected, the types of data that could be exchanged would depend on their respective roles. For example, BigCommerce is known as an e-commerce platform, so data such as orders, customer details, and product information could potentially be shared with AFAS, which is recognized for its business administration capabilities. This could support more accurate accounting, inventory tracking, and customer service by ensuring that both systems have timely and consistent information. However, the specific data that can be exchanged and the direction of exchange would depend on what each system makes available through its API and would need to be determined based on the needs and configuration of the business.

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 BigCommerce and AFAS 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.
