# Automation Consulting for SMEs

We analyze your processes, run an honest cost-benefit assessment and deliver a roadmap your team can actually execute.

## The challenge

Many mid-sized companies know they lose time in their workflows, but not where automation actually pays off. Tool vendors do not advise neutrally, they sell their own software. The result is a patchwork of point solutions nobody maintains, while the real time sinks stay untouched.

## Our solution

We look at your processes before we talk about tools. You get a rating of each process by effort and benefit, a clear recommendation for every one of them, and on request the implementation with [n8n](/en/glossary/n8n) on infrastructure you control. Where automation does not pay off, we say so just as plainly.

## Use cases

- **Quote and order processing**: Requests arriving as emails and PDFs are captured in structured form and pushed into ERP or CRM instead of being retyped by hand.
- **Lead qualification**: Incoming inquiries are enriched, scored and routed to the right person automatically, before they age in an inbox.
- **Cross-system reporting**: KPIs from several tools flow into one report automatically, without a morning of copy and paste.
- **Document triage**: Invoices, receipts and contracts are classified, named and filed in the right system, including reminders for deadlines.

## Technologies

- **n8n**
- **PostgreSQL**
- **NocoDB**
