Software built for SMEs
Business software should adapt to the company. Not the other way around.
We believe every organisation deserves software that fits its processes. That is why we build affordable, flexible business software for SMEs.
Why Astans exists
Professional business software without unnecessary complexity.
Astans Business Software was founded on the belief that powerful business software should not be reserved for large enterprises.
SMEs often get stuck with complex and expensive systems that do not match the way they work. Astans combines a stable standard foundation with practical configuration per organisation.
Our ambition is to provide software that is understandable, grows with the organisation and creates room for more efficient processes and better decisions.
The founders of Astans
Technology and business processes come together.
Astans is developed from two perspectives: a strong technical foundation and a clear understanding of how organisations work day to day.
