De Beer thinks that AFAS and Way2connect pulled off quite a feat by succeeding in tackling the complexity of the cleaning industry and successfully linking two software systems. “I think that AFAS initially started out automating companies where everyone worked a 38-hour week and the number of holidays for the rest of the year was already determined on January 1st. Given that background, it’s quite amazing when you see the amount of industry knowledge they have.”
Beercoo actively contributed to this. “We have had a lot of other cleaning companies that were interested in company automation visit us. As a result, a handful of other large players in our market now use the software solution that was implemented in our company. A very positive development, in my opinion, because it offers plenty of opportunities to learn with and from each other and make further improvements.”
