Business Automation (n8n)
Automate workflows and connect your tools
We design, build, and maintain n8n automations that remove manual work, reduce errors, and keep your team focused on high-value tasks.
What we automate
Practical, production-ready automations built around your processes — not generic templates.
Approvals, handoffs, notifications, and task routing to keep work moving.
Connect your CRM, email, forms, databases, and internal systems.
Synchronise data and generate scheduled reports with fewer manual exports.
Capture leads, enrich data, route to the right person, and trigger follow-ups.
Ticket creation, customer updates, and escalation flows across channels.
Retries, error alerts, audit trails, and monitoring so automations stay dependable.
How we deliver automation
We start with your current process and define the inputs, outputs, edge cases, and failure handling. Then we build n8n workflows with clear logic, human-in-the-loop approvals where needed, and visibility into what ran and why.
- →Workflow mapping and scope
- →Integration setup and secrets management
- →Error handling, retries, and alerting
- →Documentation and handover
When reporting needs outgrow scheduled exports, we also deliver Business Intelligence with Apache Superset and ETL.
Business automation FAQs
Common questions from UK SMEs, agencies, and operations teams before starting an automation project.
What is business automation and how is it different from n8n or Zapier?
Business automation connects the tools your team already uses — email, CRM, spreadsheets, forms, invoicing — so data and tasks move without manual copy-paste. n8n is our preferred engine because it is self-hostable (keeps data in the UK/EU), open source, and handles far more complex logic than Zapier while costing a fraction per execution.
How much time can automation realistically save?
For most SMEs we work with, the first 3–5 workflows remove 8–15 hours of manual admin per week — lead intake routing, invoice chasing, report generation, Slack notifications, and data sync between systems. ROI usually lands within 2 months of shipping.
Can automation work with my existing systems (HubSpot, Xero, Microsoft 365, Shopify)?
Yes. n8n has 400+ pre-built integrations and we routinely build custom nodes for niche UK tools. Common connections: HubSpot/Salesforce, Xero/QuickBooks, Microsoft 365/Google Workspace, Shopify/WooCommerce, Stripe, and any REST/GraphQL API.
Is my data safe — especially under UK GDPR?
Yes. We self-host n8n on infrastructure you control (Hetzner EU, AWS London, or your own servers). Data never leaves your chosen region, we implement audit logs, role-based access, and encrypted credentials storage. We provide a DPA and processing record to include in your GDPR documentation.
How much does business automation cost to set up?
A discovery workshop plus first 3 workflows typically lands between £2,500 and £6,000, depending on integration complexity. Ongoing hosting on a managed VPS is £30–£80/month. We offer fixed-price care plans for scaling workflow libraries.
Do you offer agentic AI workflows?
Yes. We build n8n workflows with LLM nodes (OpenAI, Anthropic, self-hosted Llama) for inbox triage, lead qualification, document summarisation, and multi-step research agents. We prioritise guardrails and logging so AI decisions are explainable and reversible.
