Anonymized Reference CaseTax advisory firm · Wiesbaden, 28 employees+
Initial Situation
Client documents arrived by email, were manually downloaded, renamed, filed in DATEV, and noted in CRM — 2.5 hours daily for one assistant.
Solution & Result
n8n workflow: email received → automatic AI classification → rename → file in SharePoint → DATEV link → CRM entry → confirmation email.
Process runs fully automatically in under 30 seconds. Assistant saves 2 hours daily — now focused on client communication.
Your employees spend hours on tasks that a machine could handle
- Manually transferring data between systems: email → CRM → ERP → filing — daily, error-prone, frustrating
- Notifications, status updates, and reports are created and sent manually — even though the data is already there
- Every software installation costs extra license fees — and still offers no connection to your other tools
Fully automatic workflows that connect your tools — without programming, without license traps
- n8n connects over 500 apps natively: what used to take hours now happens in seconds, around the clock
- Self-hosted on your servers: one-time setup fee, no ongoing license costs, full data control
- AI steps directly in the workflow: classify emails, summarize texts, make decisions — all integrated

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Workflow Automation (n8n) at a glance.
01What is the difference between n8n, Make, and Zapier?+
Zapier: easiest to use, highest license costs, US servers. Make: good value for money, EU servers available. n8n: open source, self-hosted on your servers — one-time cost, maximum data control. We recommend n8n for data-sensitive processes and businesses with an IT department.
02Do we need our own IT knowledge to operate the workflows?+
No. We build, test, and document all workflows. Your team can make simple adjustments via the visual n8n interface themselves — without programming. For complex changes we are available via SLA.
03Can n8n be connected to SAP, DATEV, or other ERP systems?+
Yes. SAP via REST API or RFC, DATEV via DATEV interfaces, all common CRMs and ERPs. When a native integration is missing, we build a custom connector — that is standard for us.
04What happens if a workflow fails?+
n8n has built-in error handling and retry logic. For critical failures you automatically receive a notification. Under SLA operations we respond within 4 hours to critical workflow failures.
05What does workflow automation cost?+
Analysis and build of a single workflow from €1,500. n8n server setup (self-hosted) one-time €2,500. Complex automation projects with 5–10 workflows typically €8,000–25,000. Ongoing license costs with n8n self-hosted: €0.
06How quickly are first results visible?+
We typically deliver the first productive workflow within 2 weeks. We start with the process with the highest ROI — so you immediately save time and money while further automations follow.
