Sometimes you have a specific workflow that a generic SaaS tool can't handle. We build it bespoke, connected to the systems you already use, without layering more tools on top.

Three typical situations where this automation pays for itself within months. 01 ### CRM sync between tools that don't talk Customer data is half in a CRM, half in accounting and some in Excel. We build a workflow that quietly keeps everything in sync in the background, with the CRM as the system of record. 02 ### Onboard a new customer A new customer signs a quote. Automatically: welcome mail, client folder in your drive, CRM status set to 'active', calendar invite for kickoff and a task in your project tool, all within seconds. 03 ### Cross-tool reporting pipeline Daily data from three or more sources (marketing, sales, finance) automatically merged into a single overview in a dashboard or email, without anyone having to merge Excel exports again. 02 ## What you gain ### Fits your way of working No more tool workarounds, the workflow follows how you work. Less adoption friction and no more falling back to Excel by default. ### Connects data that now lives apart Between CRM, accounting, mail, calendar and project tools there are often isolated islands. We build the bridges so data doesn't need to be copied by hand anymore. ### Scales with your team Once built, the workflow works for 2 people or for 20. As you grow you don't need new tools, just a broader version of the same workflow. ### You stay the owner We ship documentation and, where possible, build in widely supported tools like n8n. No vendor lock-in: you can continue yourself or with another party later. 03 ## How we build it From first call to live in production. Transparent, predictable, no surprises. 01 ### Workflow audit We map what someone currently does manually, which steps actually take time and where the exceptions live. Often less is needed than expected. 02 ### Design and tooling choice n8n for widely supported workflows, custom code where the logic gets complex, or a hybrid. We pick the best track per piece. 03 ### Build and test First in staging, on real edge cases. No surprises at launch, and we share test data so you can verify along with us. 04 ### Go live and handover We deploy, hand over a short manual and train someone on your team so day-to-day management sits with you.

After a short intake we produce a concrete quote based on the steps and tools involved. Combining with other automations or a website? We often bundle these together, it genuinely saves in practice.

Custom is interesting when you have a specific workflow no standard package covers, or when you want to link several existing tools that don't talk to each other. Then we build exactly the bridge you need.Will I be dependent on you for every change?No. We build as much as possible in widely supported tools like n8n and ship documentation, so you can continue internally or with another party. You can come to us for big changes, but small tweaks don't require it.What if a tool in my stack changes or disappears?That's exactly why we build modularly. If your CRM changes, you only reconfigure that one integration, not the whole workflow. In the design phase we actively think about single points of failure.How do I know whether my process is a good fit?If it's repetitive, runs on clear rules and takes time, it's often a good candidate. When there are many exceptions or human judgement is needed, we keep that step human and automate around it. A short intake makes this clear quickly.How much time do I have to put in myself?A few hours during intake and design, and then mostly during testing. We do the build. For a mid-sized automation you usually end up around 3-5 hours of your own time, spread over 2-3 weeks. ## Goes well with this [ ### Reporting Automation Few things eat up time like building and merging the same Excel exports every week or month. Built once properly, it's done, and you see live what you want to see, whenever. ](/en/automatisering/rapportage)[ ### Invoice Automation No more retyping invoices, no repetitive bookings, no forgotten payments. Incoming invoices are read and dropped into your accounting. Outgoing ones are generated, sent, and chased automatically when payment is late. ](/en/automatisering/factuurverwerking) ## Want to see how this looks at your business?
