AFAS Software: Export Any AFAS Data to Databases and Analytics Tools

AFAS Software is a robust ERP and financial management system, especially popular among organizations in the Netherlands and Belgium.

But the companies that use it often need to export data from AFAS to analytics platforms like Power BI or data warehouses like Google BigQuery, where it can be analyzed alongside data from other systems for more comprehensive insights.

Dataddo, a data integration platform built for both business and data teams, empowers you to send AFAS data anywhere. And it's range of additional features enables you to do a lot more than just move data.

So, why use Dataddo to automate AFAS data transfers? Why not just move CSV files manually?

1. Easy, Automated Data Pipelines

Manually setting up and maintaining data connections can lead to delays, data discrepancies, and extra work. Dataddo automates this process by linking AFAS Software to your preferred storage or analytics tools, with refresh intervals as frequent as every five minutes, ensuring your AFAS data is always current for real-time insights.

Dataddo’s team manages API updates and monitors pipelines to ensure your integrations run smoothly. No need to worry about connection failures—just focus on leveraging insights from your data.

2. A Broad Ecosystem of Connectors

With our extensive ecosystem of connectors, you can connect AFAS data with a range of destinations.

Whether it’s ERP records, accounting data, or HR/payroll data, Dataddo helps you sync it to BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Looker Studio, or data warehouses like BigQuery and Snowflake.

And if your organization relies on software not currently supported by our connector ecosystem, Dataddo can create a custom connector for you in about 10 days—ensuring compatibility with any service your team needs.

3. No-Code Setup (with Advanced API for Data Teams)

Dataddo’s no-code interface makes it simple for business teams to set up data flows with AFAS—no technical expertise required. Just a few clicks, and AFAS data is on its way to your analytics tool. You can also blend AFAS Software data with other sources directly in Dataddo to simplify multi-source analysis in your reporting tool.

For data teams who prefer direct API configuration, Dataddo provides full REST API access to customize and control integrations.

4. Robust Data Quality Assurance

The AFAS connector from Dataddo includes built-in validation and monitoring tools to maintain high data quality during transfers. With configurable data quality monitoring, anomaly detection and the Data Quality Firewall, and error alerts, you can have confidence in the accuracy and reliability of data flowing from AFAS to any destination.

5. For Data Teams: ETL, ELT, Reverse ETL

Dataddo supports both ETL (extract, transform, load) and ELT (extract, load, transform) workflows, providing flexibility to handle AFAS data in the way that best suits your needs. You can pre-process data to meet the formatting requirements of your destination system, ensuring it’s clean and it’s ready for analysis.

Dataddo also supports reverse ETL, enabling you to send data from your company’s data warehouse back to AFAS Software. This allows you to put custom data directly in front of your AFAS users.

6. Enterprise-Level Security and Compliance

Dataddo meets rigorous security standards, including SOC 2 Type II certification and ISO 27001 compliance, so your data pipelines adhere to the highest standards of security and privacy.

In addition, Dataddo’s platform offers automated detection of potentially sensitive fields. This feature allows you to hash, mask, or skip extraction of sensitive data before it’s shared, which helps you stay compliant with data regulations and protect your organization from regulatory or reputational risk.

7. Predictable Pricing

Thanks to unit-based pricing (as opposed to row-based pricing), you'll always know what you're paying upfront. Never get a bad surprise at the end of the month!

8. Best-in-Class Support

We offer assisted onboarding, a dedicated data architect, a custom SLA, and live support around the clock. If you have special implementation requirements, we can tailor a customized support package that includes expert advice, strategic planning, and flexible licensing options. 

Conclusion

For organizations of all sizes, Dataddo’s AFAS connector simplifies the process of moving and integrating data with other tools and systems. Whether you want to sync data with analytics platforms for better insights, or enrich AFAS with data from other sources, Dataddo offers a reliable, flexible, and secure solution every step of the way. Featuring a no-code interface, extensive transformation capabilities, and proactive pipeline monitoring, Dataddo helps your team focus on making data-driven decisions, not managing data infrastructure.
