Connect lightspeed and AFAS

Connecting lightspeed and AFAS would involve developing a way to transfer relevant data between the two systems. This could allow a company to synchronize financial records, automate reporting, or share sales and inventory information, depending on the features each system supports. Such a connection would require careful planning for data mapping, security, and ongoing maintenance.

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

Why connect lightspeed and AFAS?

A company operating both Lightspeed and AFAS could benefit from establishing a data connection between the two systems, as this could allow for more efficient business processes and improved accuracy in operational data. Without such a connection, employees may need to enter the same information into both systems, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. This manual process can also result in records that become inconsistent over time, with each system potentially holding different versions of the same data. As a result, business decisions could be based on outdated or incomplete information, which can affect financial reporting, inventory management, and customer service. If a connection were to be established, the types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the core functions of each system. Lightspeed is widely recognized as a point-of-sale and retail management platform, while AFAS is known for its business software covering areas such as accounting, HR, and ERP. Data that could be exchanged might include sales transactions, inventory levels, customer information, and financial records, enabling more accurate reporting and streamlined workflows across departments. The actual data that can be shared depends on the capabilities and permissions provided by each system’s API, and would need to be determined for each specific 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 lightspeed 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.
