1. AFAS and vPlan: what exactly do they do?
You’re undoubtedly already familiar with AFAS, but we’d still like to briefly introduce both AFAS and vPlan before diving deeper into the integration.
AFAS Profit
AFAS Profit is a flexible and powerful ERP system that helps organisations with HRM, payroll, CRM, document management, project administration, and financial management. Thanks to its versatility, it can be used broadly.
vPlan
vPlan is the visual planning solution for production, projects, service, and more. You can collaborate, plan, and communicate in real-time, all in one clear tool. The integration with AFAS creates a single digital workflow.

3. How does the integration between vPlan and AFAS work?
That all sounds very good, doesn't it? But how does it work in practice? Of course, we are happy to explain that too. With a link between AFAS and vPlan, you get project or order information directly from AFAS into your planning in vPlan.
Your production orders, sales orders, projects, quotations or work orders are transferred to vPlan via the link. Tickets are created in vPlan for this purpose. Information from AFAS such as articles, work types, pre-calculations and sales relations are added to the ticket in vPlan.
In the image below, the left-hand side shows the work types from AFAS as activities in vPlan. On the right-hand side, you can see the other information.
It is also possible to expand this with the schedule, leave and absence of employees. This way, you always have the right available capacity in vPlan. And that certainly comes in handy when scheduling!
You can also easily send post-calculations from vPlan back to AFAS. vPlan can also be linked to the AFAS Pocket App.

“Previously, colleagues kept their own planning or agenda in addition to the Excel document. As a result, there was often uncertainty about who was actually available. That is now always clear and visible.”
