What Forque does

Irixs is a Netherlands-based business consultancy that operates as a certified AFAS Software partner, delivering implementation, optimization, support, salary processing, capacity planning, functional management, and international finance services to Dutch organizations. The company complements its AFAS practice with Business Intelligence services built on Microsoft Power BI (including dashboarding, data source consolidation, and Qlik-to-Power BI migration advisory) and custom development for system integrations. Its proprietary integration connectors (ADconnect, IBISconnect, ConneXtor, TSconnect, HRconnect, XSite) link AFAS with external systems such as Active Directory, Microsoft Teams, Workday, SAP, Oracle HCM, and custom platforms, reducing duplicate data entry across client environments.

The firm is vertically organized across 10 Dutch industry sectors: automotive, construction, service and maintenance, trade/production/retail, business services, flex staffing, education, government, social employment, and healthcare. Named reference customers include Mengelers, TMC, Kader Group, Van Tilburg Bastianen, Hanzehogeschool, NOC*NSF, and SVO, demonstrating a mix of mid-market, enterprise, government, education, and nonprofit engagements. The company holds ISO certification, operates four physical offices (Enter, Leusden, Weert, Zwolle), and runs the Irixs Academy as an AFAS training channel.

The business model is a hybrid of project-based professional services (AFAS implementations, BI deployments, custom development) and recurring support retainers (AFAS support, functional management, salary processing). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered via direct consultative engagement; the website lists a 'Tarieven' (rates) page but specific figures are gated to inquiry. Marketing is content-led via a Dutch-language knowledge bank, vertical landing pages, and customer case studies, with sales executed through direct outreach and a CEO-led 'sparring partner' positioning.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Nmbrs: Dutch cloud-based HR and payroll platform (Visma-owned) with implementation partner network that mirrors Irixs's AFAS partner role; competes for the same Dutch HR/payroll implementation, support, and BI services budgets.
• Loket: Dutch HR and payroll SaaS platform (Visma-owned) targeting SMBs and mid-market with bundled implementation and support — overlapping the same Dutch customer segment that Irixs serves with AFAS-based solutions.

Others

• AFAS Software: The Dutch ERP/HRM/Payroll software vendor whose platform Irixs implements. As Irixs's core technology partner, AFAS sets the roadmap and partner-program economics that govern Irixs's opportunity set, making it the most strategically relevant ecosystem counterpart.
• Exact: Dutch-origin accounting and ERP software vendor (Visma-owned) offering cloud business software with implementation partner network — adjacent to Irixs's Dutch SMB/mid-market ERP integration and BI services territory.

Broad incumbents

• Capgemini: Global IT services and consulting firm with a Dutch ERP/HCM practice that delivers large-scale implementations of platforms Irixs also serves (SAP, Oracle, Workday). Competes for enterprise transformation mandates Irixs cannot independently deliver at scale.
• Accenture: Global consulting and systems integrator with deep Dutch ERP/HCM delivery capability. Competes for the same enterprise and public-sector transformation mandates Irixs targets with its certified AFAS partner positioning.
• ADP: Global payroll and HCM provider with established Dutch operations (formerly ADP/(Visma-)stream offerings). Competes with Irixs for enterprise HR/payroll transformation mandates and represents a potential alternative-vendor risk for AFAS customers.
• Visma: Nordic-headquartered software and services group that owns multiple Dutch HR/payroll platforms (Loket, Nmbrs, Exact) and provides implementation and consultancy services. Visma is both a competing vendor and a competing implementation/services organization in the Dutch mid-market.
• SD Worx: Belgian HR and payroll services company with a significant Dutch footprint offering payroll outsourcing, HR consultancy, and software implementation — directly overlapping Irixs's AFAS support, salary processing, and HRM process services.
• Deloitte: Big Four advisory firm with Dutch Human Capital and Enterprise Applications practices that implement and integrate ERP/HCM platforms. Represents a scaling and substitution risk on larger transformation deals where Irixs would otherwise partner or lead.
