No big promises, just smarter working

At AFAS, we believe that AI, combined with our ERP software, makes your work more enjoyable and easier. Our vision on AI is clear: it is a tool to add value, not a goal in itself. We always ask ourselves: what is the benefit of this application? That is why we only develop AI features that genuinely help you.

Our AI integrations, better known as Jonas, work like your smart assistant. For example, Jonas helps with adding smart responses to workflows and carrying out AI instructions.

We follow the European AI Act, which means our AI solutions meet the highest standards for ethics and privacy. Success begins with AFAS, and with our smart AI features you are ready to make your organisation better.

AI features in AFAS

 

Smart AI analysis in the workflow

Jonas automatically carries out instructions for you in a workflow. This means Jonas helps you make decisions by analysing your instructions in the background and providing answers. The AI texts appear automatically at the right moment in the workflow, for example after a specific task or action. This gives you the information precisely when you need it.

  • Automatically carry out AI instructions in your workflows
  • Decide who is allowed to see the AI results
  • Improve your AI results with clear insights
 

Record and process voice tasks with AI

With voice tasks you can easily record something. AI immediately converts your message into text and adds it to your workflow. Useful for a salesperson who is on the road, during a progress meeting, or while walking back home when that one brilliant idea suddenly comes to mind.

  • Record something and let AI automatically convert your recording into usable text
  • Use the AFAS Pocket app or InSite
  • The full transcript is always automatically added
 

AI in responses

With Jonas you can quickly and easily add responses to case items. If you want to write a response, you give Jonas an instruction. Jonas analyses your instruction and provides an answer. For example, this helps you create a summary or a translation. This means you have to do less yourself and the work moves faster.

  • Quickly add responses with AI support
  • Translate and summarise texts quickly
  • Write your own AI instructions for better responses
 

Insight into the use of Jonas

You have insight into the use of Jonas, both in workflow responses and in Jonas instructions. User ratings with  or  are also visible here, so you can quickly see which instructions work well and which still need improvement. This allows you to optimise the Jonas instructions in your workflows step by step.

  • Gain insight into AI usage
  • Quickly see which AI instructions work well
  • Improve AI instructions using feedback from colleagues

Digitalising your business processes is the foundation


To use AI effectively, you first need to digitalise your business processes. This ensures your data is properly structured and easily accessible for AI features.

Much of the data you need is already recorded in our ERP system. By digitalising and automating your processes, you ensure they run precisely as you have configured them. You can then add smart AI applications on top of that.

A customer story from bakery BACU

From typing to listening: how AI supports talent management

Managers at BACU use the virtual AFAS assistant Jonas to record conversations with employees and create reports from them. “Fortunately, AFAS has built AI in such a way that you remain in control. Managers enjoy working with Jonas. They type in half a word, so to speak, and Jonas turns it into a meeting report. They can then edit it and share it with the employee. This allows managers to spend more time having meaningful conversations with employees. For us, talent management is mainly about listening to people: what do we expect from each other and how can we support one another?”
