Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for developing links between existing systems and websites. One of these frequently used systems is AFAS, the software solution for managing your organization's administrative business processes from a single database. When you link AFAS with your own website, everything can be managed from one system, which is very efficient! Our client Wesselman Accountants | Adviseurs thought so too. Laméco created a link between the AFAS intranet and the renewed website. But what are the advantages and possibilities of such an AFAS link?

Opportunities for linkages with AFAS

AFAS is a well-known system within companies and often there are already connected business processes within your organization. But what are the possibilities between the AFAS system and a connection? We are happy to explain it for you.

Via the website, contact requests are submitted and sent to AFAS. The system of AFAS ensures that the requests reach the right person within the organization.
Always an up-to-date list of employees on your website, you add the persons anyway in AFAS. The website retrieves this data every day and shows the correct data.
Perhaps your company organizes events, they are already added in AFAS. It is possible to read these events with a link, also requests can be sent back to AFAS immediately.
Within AFAS it is possible to use a news flow, this uses a review round and one person indicates whether this is allowed live. On the website, only the live messages are then read out.

Benefits of linking existing systems and websites

Such a link between your website and an existing system such as AFAS offers many advantages. We have listed some of them for you.

Central point to manage content

When you use multiple systems, you will also have to manage content in multiple places. This, of course, creates unnecessary work. A link between your website and AFAS ensures that all activities take place and come together at one central point. As a result, you thus avoid duplicate capture which ultimately saves time!

News releases: When a link is changed in a post, it is immediately updated in all places.
Events: Is the time being changed? Adjust it in one place and the correct time is displayed everywhere.

Historical content

Of course, you don't want to manually transfer the content your database already contains into the new website. With a link you avoid this time-consuming activity; your current database is automatically read and processed. And because these articles on an old website are often indexed by google, this way you quickly maintain your positions in the search results.

Current processes in place

You may already have processes in place for certain requests received by phone or mail. These processes are used from the Web site when someone fills out a form using a link.

A customer fills out a contact form, an email is automatically sent to customer service, and a ticket is created in your CRM solution.
People sign up for an event, the administrator gets notified by text/email. And a tally of sign-ups is kept.

Is a link with AFAS of interest to your company?

Linking AFAS and your website offers many advantages and provides one central system. The website remains up-to-date with content and business processes do not have to be adjusted. Of course Laméco can help you further with custom links for your website. If you want more information, or have questions about links for your website, please feel free to contact us.
