Every business has those unique processes that make you special - and also drive you crazy with repetitive manual work. Generic automation tools give you templates that almost fit, while custom development costs a fortune and takes forever. You need something in between: automations built specifically for your workflows, without the enterprise price tag or vendor lock-in.
That’s exactly what I build. Custom automations that understand your specific business logic, integrate with your existing systems, and run on your infrastructure - not mine.
How Your Automation Gets Built (No Surprises)
Step 1: Free 20-Minute Discovery Call
Let’s talk about what’s eating up your time. I’ll listen to your biggest automation pain points and give you an honest assessment of what’s possible. No sales pitch, no pressure - just a real conversation about whether automation can solve your specific problems.
What happens:
- You describe your current manual processes
- I identify which parts can be automated (and which can’t)
- We discuss realistic timelines and outcomes
- You get immediate insights, even if we don’t work together
Cost: Free Duration: 20 minutes Schedule Your Discovery Call
Step 2: Paid Exploration Session
This is where we get serious. I’ll dive deep into your workflows, understand your systems, and map out exactly what your custom automation will look like. By the end of this session, you’ll have a complete blueprint and fixed-price quote.
What you get:
- Detailed process analysis and documentation
- Technical architecture for your automation
- Integration points with your existing systems
- Fixed-price implementation quote
- Timeline with clear milestones
- Risk assessment and fallback plans
What I need from you:
- Access to your current systems (read-only is fine)
- Examples of the data you’re processing
- Your team members who actually do these tasks daily
- 2-3 hours of focused time together (can be split across multiple sessions)
Cost: €800 | Duration: 2 days
Outcome: Complete automation blueprint and implementation quote
Step 3: Implementation - Your Automation Gets Built
Now I build what we designed. You’ll get regular updates, working prototypes to test, and a final automation that runs exactly as specified. No scope creep, no surprise costs, no “that’s not what I thought you meant.”
How it works:
- Development in weekly sprints with regular check-ins
- You test each component as it’s built
- Training on how to maintain and modify your automation
- Complete documentation and handover
- 30 days of post-implementation support included
What you own:
- All source code and workflows
- Complete system documentation
- Admin access to everything
- Right to modify, extend, or migrate at any time
Pricing: Fixed price determined during Exploration session | Timeline: Typically 2-6 weeks depending on complexity
Why Custom Automation Instead of Off-the-Shelf Tools?
Your Business Logic Matters Generic tools force you to change your processes to fit their limitations. Custom automation adapts to how you actually work.
No Vendor Lock-in Your automations run on your systems or standard platforms like n8n Cloud. You’re never trapped by my pricing or availability.
It Actually Fits Instead of “good enough” solutions that require workarounds, you get automation that handles your exact requirements and edge cases.
You Control the Future Want to modify something? Add a new feature? Change providers? You own everything, so you decide.

- Internal notifications that actually matter
System Integration
- Connecting tools that don’t normally talk to each other
- Data synchronization without manual exports/imports
- Backup and monitoring workflows for your specific setup
- Custom API integrations with your existing software
Process Orchestration
- Multi-step workflows that require human approval at key points
- Exception handling for when things don’t go as planned
- Escalation procedures that match your business hierarchy
- Audit trails for compliance and troubleshooting
Who This Works Best For
- SMBs and Startups with unique processes that generic tools can’t handle
