Finance, accounting and ERP
Invoice and document processing, reconciliation, order to cash, multi currency. Where errors are most expensive and audit trails matter.
Integration engineering
You already chose n8n. So the question is not what it can do. The question is what happens at three in the morning when a workflow fails, whether anything tells you, and whether the retry creates a second invoice.
Pick a failure. The middle column is what a template does. The right column is what we build instead. These eight are the questions technical buyers put in their own job postings, which is where we got the list.
Show us one that breaks, or one process still done by hand. Before any contract you get back:
And whether the failure is silent, which it usually is.
This is normally the expensive discovery.
Timeout, bounded retry, idempotency key, deduplication check, dead letter path, approval gate. Named, not hand waved.
Sometimes part of it belongs in code, and we will say which part.
If your answer is that nothing is broken yet, that is useful too. It usually means nothing is monitored.
Search for an n8n agency and four of the top ten results are threads asking whether the category is a scam, or people announcing they are getting out of it. That reputation was earned: a course, a template library, cold outreach, a demo automating something nobody needed.
Our work is integration engineering. n8n is a good orchestration layer for a lot of it and the wrong tool for some of it, and we tell you which before you pay us.
| The pitch you have probably had | What we do |
|---|---|
| A template library and a node count | Discovery on your real process, including the exceptions that live in one person's head |
| An impressive demo | An automation for a process that costs money when it goes wrong |
| Set it and forget it | A maintenance arrangement, because APIs, credentials, schemas and business rules all keep moving |
| We can automate any business | A specific answer about your systems, sometimes recommending code instead |
| Hours saved, quoted before anything is measured | A baseline first, then the same measure afterwards, with review and maintenance effort subtracted |
Finance, CRM, IT ops, cross-system jobs, auditable documents, and AI steps that stay inside a deterministic workflow—not a black box that owns the process.
Invoice and document processing, reconciliation, order to cash, multi currency. Where errors are most expensive and audit trails matter.
Lead capture, routing, deduplication, enrichment, follow up, handoff between sales and delivery.
Onboarding and offboarding, provisioning, ticket creation, alert enrichment, escalation.
Orders, jobs, inventory and status moving between legacy and modern systems that disagree about identifiers.
Where you have to show what came in, what was decided, who approved it and how exceptions were handled.
Extraction, classification, drafting, triage. Validated output, confidence thresholds, human review. One controlled step, not the owner of the process.
We move logic out of n8n when it is a heavy loop, a large file, a big transformation, complex long lived state, a strict transaction boundary, or anything latency sensitive. n8n coordinates well and computes badly.
Our default is n8n as the visible orchestration layer with the demanding work in versioned code services, and you get the diagram showing where that line sits and why.
Any agency that answers “never” when you ask this question has no architectural opinion. When not to use n8n
Most buyers start with the pilot and that is the right instinct. One bounded workflow, fixed price, fixed timeline, and a real decision at the end.

How many systems and whether each is read or write, whether a system of record is involved, source data quality, whether approvals or audit trails are required, how much belongs in code, and whether we are building or rescuing.
n8n's own licence. Cloud starts at €20 a month, the self hosted Business plan is €667 a month, and the governance features most production setups need sit on the higher tiers. We check which tier your requirements actually need during discovery and put it in the proposal.
Because $90 buys the canvas. What you are paying us for is the discovery that finds the exceptions, the failure design in the widget above, the security work, the testing, the environment separation, the documentation, and somebody answering when it breaks. If you genuinely only need the canvas, buy the canvas.
Monitoring, severity, coverage hours, named owners, safe replay, change control, and a dependency inventory your team actually holds.
| Monitoring | Business level checks. An alert when the thing that should have happened did not, rather than only when a node went red |
| Severity levels | Defined, each with a response target |
| Coverage hours | Stated plainly. If it is not genuinely overnight we say so |
| Incident owner | Named, on both sides |
| Replay | Documented, tested, and safe to run twice |
| Change control | Dev, staging and production separated. Version pinning, smoke tests, rollback. Nobody edits a live canvas |
| Dependency inventory | Every API, credential, spreadsheet and schema the workflow relies on, handed to your team |
| Excluded causes | Written down, so the line between a defect and an upstream change is not argued about later |
That last row exists because of the most common failure we see: someone renames a spreadsheet column, or changes a form field, with no idea anything depends on it. The fix is governance, not code, which is why the dependency inventory goes to your team rather than into a folder.
We do not have a published n8n case study. What we have is production integration work of the kind these workflows depend on. If that is not enough for you, that is a fair position to take.
Three databases, three currencies, one integrated source of truth. The work was data mapping, reconciliation, and business rules that differed per entity. This is the category where a duplicate or a dropped record has a financial consequence.
Long running jobs a user can start, watch and cancel, on Celery and RabbitMQ. Asynchronous processing, state handling, back pressure, operational visibility while work is in flight. The same architecture question as any workflow that runs longer than a request.
Custom CRM platforms where lead routing, status sync, and operational handoffs have to survive duplicate events, partial writes, and third-party outages—the same failure modes n8n production workflows face.
