Measurable Impact
What automation means concretely for your business
We identify recurring manual steps and automate the ones with the clearest business value.
Standardized workflows reduce copy-paste handoffs, missed follow-ups, and avoidable rework.
Monitoring and alerting help teams notice workflow problems early and respond with context.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we hear most often about n8n workflow automation.
Are the workflows GDPR-compliant?
Yes. We run n8n self-hosted in DACH data centers, so your data never leaves your infrastructure. Processing agreements and technical safeguards are documented; sensitive data only flows through controlled integrations.
Is the automation offered at a fixed price?
Yes. After the first call you receive a binding fixed-price quote with clearly defined workflow scope. Scope changes are flagged openly; until then the price stays stable - no hourly billing, no hidden costs.
How does the implementation actually run, step by step?
We analyze the recurring processes, identify the highest-leverage workflows, and design the automation. After your approval we build it in two to four weeks, add monitoring, and hand over source code, documentation, and team training.
Which businesses is this offer right for?
Planfold workflow automation fits SMEs, solo founders, and growing teams in AT, DE, and CH who use multiple tools, run recurring data handoffs, or coordinate routine processes with third parties - without hiring a permanent developer team.
Am I locked in to one provider afterwards?
No. We build on open standards and n8n as an open-source workflow engine. You receive the full source code, your own credentials, and can run the workflows on another infrastructure or hand them to a different provider at any time.
