Business Process Automation
Your team wastes 6 hours a week on tasks a machine should handle
Manual data entry runs a 1-5% error rate. Automation cuts it by 100x. We build business process automation on self-hosted n8n, on your own infrastructure. No per-task fees. Your data never leaves your control.
Book a free process auditWhat you get
Data sync across systems
ERP, CRM, accounting, warehouse. Information flows automatically instead of someone copying numbers between tabs. One client cut 23 hours of weekly data entry to under 2.
Document processing pipelines
Invoices, contracts, purchase orders. Extracted, classified, routed to the right person. Processing times drop 80% or more. No manual sorting.
Customer communication flows
Onboarding sequences, follow-ups, status updates. Triggered by real events in your systems, not generic drip campaigns. Personalized because the data's already there.
Approval and routing logic
The process that depends on 'that one person who knows how' becomes a workflow anyone can trigger. Rules, thresholds, escalations. All documented, all auditable.
Self-hosted n8n platform
Runs on your servers or EU cloud. Unlimited workflows, unlimited executions, no per-task pricing. We migrate the Zapier and Make flows you've outgrown. You own the infrastructure and every workflow in it.
Compliance and audit trails
GDPR, DSGVO, SOX. Every action logged, every decision traceable. 64% of European enterprises already use automation for compliance. You should too.
How we build it
1
Map and measure
We shadow your team, time every manual step, and rank processes by automation ROI. You get a report with hard numbers: hours saved, error reduction, payback period. No guesswork.
2
Build and test
One high-impact workflow first. Real data, controlled environment, proper error handling. We measure before and after so results aren't hand-waving. Then we scale to the rest.
3
Deploy and monitor
Production deployment on your infrastructure with dashboards, alerting, and team training. Your ops team runs it independently. We stay for 60 days of support to make sure it sticks.
What to expect
Timeline
3-8 weeks
Simple workflows ship in 3 weeks. Complex multi-system integrations with approval chains take 6-8.
Investment
From €10,000
Fixed after discovery. 60% of organizations see ROI within 12 months. Most of our clients hit it in 6.

Common questions
What is business process automation, and what can you actually automate?
Business process automation replaces repetitive manual steps with software that runs the same process every time, without a person in the loop. Good candidates are high-volume and rule-based: data entry between systems, invoice and document handling, status updates, approval routing. We start with a process audit, rank your workflows by ROI, and automate the ones that pay back fastest. If a task is rare or needs human judgment on every case, we'll tell you to leave it alone. Here's how we think about which manual processes are worth automating: when manual processes break
What automation tools do you use?
n8n as the core engine, self-hosted on your servers. Python for custom scripts that n8n can't handle alone. We also migrate workflows from Zapier and Make when clients outgrow per-execution pricing. PostgreSQL stores workflow data and logs. Everything runs on your infrastructure.
Why n8n instead of Zapier or Make?
Cost and control. Zapier charges per task. At 10,000 executions per month, you're paying hundreds of euros for something that costs €0 on your own server. Self-hosted n8n also means your data never leaves your infrastructure. For DSGVO compliance, that's not a nice-to-have.
Can you migrate our existing Zapier or Make workflows?
Yes. That's one of the most common reasons clients call us. We map every Zap or scenario you're running, rebuild it on self-hosted n8n with proper error handling and logging, and run both in parallel until the new version is proven. You stop paying per-task fees and your data stops flowing through a US vendor. We wrote up the warning signs that you've outgrown Zapier here: intro to n8n automation
How is this different from RPA tools like UiPath?
RPA tools automate by mimicking clicks and keystrokes in a user interface. That breaks the moment a screen layout changes, and the enterprise licenses are expensive. We automate through APIs and direct database connections instead, which is faster, cheaper, and far more stable. We use RPA-style screen automation only when a legacy system has no API and there's no other way in.
What does business process automation cost?
Projects start from €10,000, fixed after a discovery phase. Simple single-system workflows land at the lower end. Multi-system integrations with approval chains run higher. Because it's self-hosted, you pay no per-seat or per-execution fees afterward, so the running cost is just your own server. 60% of organizations see ROI within 12 months. Most of ours hit it inside 6.
Is self-hosted automation GDPR-compliant?
That's the whole point of self-hosting. Your workflows and the data passing through them stay on infrastructure you control, in the EU if you choose (Hetzner, IONOS, or AWS Frankfurt with an AVV). No third-party SaaS vendor processes your customer data. Every action is logged for audit, and we build the retention and access rules into the workflows from the start.
