AFAS is opgericht in 1996 en gevestigd in Leusden. Kwaliteit en visie zijn de pijlers van ons succes. Deze principes stellen ons in staat om hoogwaardige softwareproducten te ontwikkelen, te verkopen en te ondersteunen. De visie die aan de producten ten grondslag ligt heeft AFAS Ondernemingsprocesbeheer (OPB®) genoemd. AFAS Profit is ook in een huurvariant beschikbaar.
Met AFAS Online kan de klant de Profit-software benaderen via internet, zodat geen hardware-investeringen nodig zijn. Met AFAS Online neemt AFAS zelfs het applicatie- & systeembeheer volledig over.
Onze missie: Het ontwikkelen, verkopen en ondersteunen van één geïntegreerde, schaalbare administratieve totaaloplossing die aansluit bij de vraag vanuit de markt.
De AFAS-organisatie
AFAS kent de volgende afdelingen: Product Development, Architecture & Innovation, Customer Operations, Marketing & Communicatie en Sales. Deze divisies worden ondersteund door drie stafafdelingen: P&O, Algemene dienst en Controlling. Om de organisatie efficiënt te kunnen sturen, is gekozen voor een operationeel verantwoordelijk vijfkoppig directieteam. Overall verantwoordelijk voor operationele zaken is CEO Bas van der Veldt, financieel verantwoordelijk is CFO Arnold Mars. AFAS heeft hierdoor een platte organisatiestructuur waarbij het uitgangspunt is dat de lijnen zeer kort zijn.
De Raad van Bestuur wordt gevormd door de beide oprichters van AFAS: Piet Mars en Ton van der Veldt.
Het product: AFAS Profit
AFAS Profit is de naam voor de geïntegreerde ERP software van AFAS. Deze software, draaiend op het Microsoft platform, wordt volledig ontwikkeld door de AFAS organisatie zelf. Wij zijn dan ook trots op ons eigen Nederlands ontwikkelbedrijf met top ontwikkelaars. De visie op productontwikkeling genaamd ANTA, is volstrekt anders dan de doorsnee concurrent. Op basis van hoogwaardige standaards wordt er op een fabrieksmatige wijze flexibele en generieke software ontwikkeld.
Vanaf 1996 heeft AFAS niets anders gedaan dan keihard aan haar missie gewerkt: Missie: Het ontwikkelen, verkopen en ondersteunen van een geïntegreerde, schaalbare administratieve totaaloplossing die aansluit bij de vraag uit de markt.
inspHire and erento partnership
19th Aug 2009
As Europe’s leading rental software solution provider, inspHire are excited to be working with erento, Europe’s leading online rental market place. inspHire has had a WebPortal, allowing customers to place orders online and view catalogues, since 2001. However, inspHire’s WebPortal is only available to companies using the inspHire rental management system which has restricted its use. The beauty of erento is that it is available for everyone from a DIY enthusiast renting equipment for the first time to a national construction company requiring equipment many miles from home.
Rental has often lagged behind the general retail market place when it comes to technology but not anymore with the invention of erento. erento provides a common single point of sourcing rental equipment on the web, in your local area or further afield.
“This is such a win win situation as rental companies can promote their products and prospective customers can search for the best deal that suits them all in the one market place. For rental software providers it is essential they are part of this new offering; to be able to take enquiries online directly from the web and then process the enquiry through their system and allow rental companies to automatically upload products and product information to the Erento website with the click of a button” said Clinton Patterson of erento.
“We at inspHire see a great future for erento and very much want to be a part of it, choosing to be the first UK based rental software company to work with erento was an easy decision and not an opportunity to be missed” said Graham Dobbs of inspHire Ltd.
“It was a natural partnership, if you're looking for software that's easy and intuitive to use, functionally rich, delivers good return on investment, utilises the latest technology and is a market leader in their specialised field then you would be hard pressed to get a better match than inspHire and erento”.
Height for Hire / Easi UpLifts select inspHire Rental Management System
29th Jun 2009
Height for Hire / Easi UpLifts the leading access rental company operating in Ireland, UK and Slovakia have taken the opportunity to implement a new rental management system to assist with the rapid growth of the company.
After opening its new state of the art, purpose built premises in Dublin it was an obvious next step to start to look at infrastructure and supporting systems. A system that would lead to a more efficient rental process as well as providing detailed business analysis for Height for Hire / Easi UpLifts was essential.
The desire to provide a better service to its customers was also high on the priority list, utilising inspHire Web Portal Height for Hire / Easi UpLifts will be able to offer a secure log in to its customers so they may gain access to information like invoice details, what is on hire where and other key information. inspHire CRM will also assist Height for Hire / Easi UpLifts to keep track of customers and prospects and inform them of important events, news and information, ensuring the customer base is aware of new equipment available for rent.
The workshop module allows all machine maintenance history to be retrieved at a click of a button and scheduled servicing and maintenance can also be easily planned using inspHire. Full Multi Currency Purchase Ordering Processing will provide a high level of control on spending, and consistency when ordering many spare parts, thus adhering to quality control policies.
John Ball, Managing Director of Height for Hire / Easi UpLifts and President of IPAF, who has many years of experience in the access market, recently stated that investing in internal systems, was one of his key solutions to bringing his companies through the recession. He commented -
“As a leading international Access Rental Specialist operating across many countries we needed a rental management solution that could meet our specific needs, Height for Hire researched the market and reviewed several companies. After many meetings and analysis we selected inspHire because it ticked all the boxes. inspHire is already well known for providing software to most of the access market and has a proven track record in the international market as well. The software is simple and easy to use and is the most modern looking software we saw - it feels and looks like it was designed just for the Access Rental Industry. The fact that inspHire integrates to leading accounting solutions like Microsoft Dynamics was a key factor, in that we can be reassured by using a solid state of the art accounting solution.”
Graham Dobbs, Director at inspHire commented, “We are very excited about working with Height for Hire / Easi UpLifts and are extremely pleased to be associated with a company that has vision and a passion for what they do. As one of the leading independent access rental companies and with such a unique set of requirements it was a real plus when we discovered we could provide the solution to meet their needs with very little customisation.”

inspHire 99 Red Balloons
19th Jul 2011
inspHire's red balloon race competition at Vertikal days 2011 proved to be a great success when customer Alan Livingston from ‘Lifting Gear UK’ balloon was found in Warrington.
Visitors to the inspHire stand at Vertikal days 2011 event were asked to complete tickets attached to the balloons which were then released in the afternoon of the second day of the event by John Ball, MD of Easi Uplifts and Graham Dobbs and Karen Miles of inspHire to celebrate the recent launch of inspHire-iX, the iPhone and iPad App for inspHire users on the move.
Graham Dobbs commented “Feed back from our customers who have already installed inspHire-iX has been overwhelming. The main benefit, they say, comes from their sales team being in an informed position and having the information they need, when they are out on the road dealing with customers. “
Alan Livingston was awarded an iPod Touch for the inspHire balloon that travelled the furthest, along with the founder of the balloon winning a £25.00 Amazon voucher - well done to both participants!
A big thank you to everyone that visited the inspHire stand and took part in the balloon race
