Your team spends 3 hours a day copy-pasting between inbox and spreadsheet.

I build the system that does it instead. Freight forwarding. Fixed price from €950, live in 3–12 working days, on a dedicated EU instance that becomes yours at handover.

Still doing it manually?

Teams like yours lose 60+ hours a month to tasks that should take seconds. That is roughly €1,500 to €2,500 in salary, before you count the cost of errors.

3 hours a day. Just retyping inquiries.

Your forwarder copies every inquiry from email into a spreadsheet, then works out kilometres and tolls by hand. By the time that is done, a competitor has already sent their quote.

This is exactly what I fix. In days, not months.

What I actually build

Everything connected, everything automated. Your team spends its day on decisions instead of data entry.

Workflows that do the manual work

Lead intake and quote preparation, handled end to end on your own instance in the EU. No per-task fees, no babysitting, running around the clock.

Your operations on one live dashboard

Inquiries, candidates or leads, whatever you run, updating in real time. Shareable read-only, so your team needs no login.

Alerts where your team already works

Approvals, status changes and hot-lead pings straight to Telegram or WhatsApp. Nothing new for anyone to learn.

A build you can look at

Production-ready blueprints, running on the stack every project ships on.

Freight forwarding

From inquiry to a ready quote

Pain: Your forwarder copies every inquiry into a spreadsheet and works out kilometres and tolls by hand. By the time that is done, a competitor has already replied.
  • Data pulled from the email and from PDF attachments
  • Truck route, tolls broken down by country
  • The reply waits in Gmail, you send it

Built so your forwarder stops retyping emails into spreadsheets.

You work with the person who writes the code

One number agreed up front, a dedicated instance, your own code, and one person responsible for all of it. No account managers, no handoffs, no bloat.

How a project runs

No long intake forms, just a few fields. Three steps, and you know the price before the second one ends.

01

Fill the form

You describe your business and your problem, and leave a WhatsApp number or an email. I come back the same day telling you whether it is worth automating and roughly what it costs.

02

Scope and price

Days 1 to 2. If it is worth automating, I send you the terms: which package covers it, what the system will do, and the exact price. You approve, pay the deposit, give me access, and that is when I start.

03

Build and launch

3–12 working days from the deposit. I build with Loom updates at each milestone. We test together, you pay the remaining 50%, then we go live. You get full docs, every credential, and a walkthrough video. The guarantee starts here.

Three packages, priced on the page

For technical evaluators: n8n vs SaaS, real 12-month cost

n8n vs SaaS over 12 months

10,000 workflow runs a month, 5 steps each, typical EU SMB scale

n8n (self-hosted)Make (Pro)Zapier (Professional)
License cost / year€0 (Community Edition)~€150–300~€3,600
Infrastructure / year€120–240 (EU VPS)Cloud onlyCloud only
Build cost (one-time)Your fixed quotefrom €1,500from €1,200
Total year 1~€1,190~€1,800~€4,800
Per-task fees at scaleNone, fixed infrastructureYes, per moduleYes, steep
Data locationStays in GermanyCloud routingUS servers
You own the codeYes, export anytimeNoNo

Read it right: the build is a one-time cost on every option here. The real gap is recurring. n8n on your own server means no license fees, no per-task charges as volume grows, and you keep the code. That is where the 12-month numbers diverge, not the build price.

Who you'll actually be working with

I'm Maxim. Businesses lose thousands of hours a year to work a computer should be doing, and mostly just live with it.

What gets me is that they've been told automation is complicated and expensive. It's neither. An agency charges €15k, hides the developer behind an account manager, and takes three months. I build the same thing myself, on my own EU infrastructure, in a week.

No subcontractors, no per-task fees, your data never leaves the EU, and you can export the workflows whenever you want. One person who builds it, talks to you directly, and doesn't vanish after the invoice.

Communication: English, Slovak, Czech, Ukrainian.

Frequently asked

Everything listed in the terms I send you before you pay: the n8n workflow, integrations, database or bot if included, error handling, hosting, a Loom video walkthrough and the free-fix guarantee period. No surprise invoices. If something takes longer than I estimated, that is my cost, not yours.

Fair question for a solo operator, so here is the honest answer. You own everything from day one: the workflow JSON, the code, the database and every credential. Nothing is locked to me. Your system can move to your own server and run without my involvement, every build ships with documentation and a handover, and any n8n developer can maintain it.

If it involves moving, transforming or triggering data between digital tools, almost certainly yes. Common examples: lead intake from forms or email into a CRM with a Telegram alert, turning freight inquiries into a ready quote, invoice processing, onboarding workflows, report generation. If you are not sure, describe it in the form and I will tell you what is possible and what it would cost.

Everything runs on Hetzner servers in Germany. n8n is self-hosted, so your data never passes through Zapier's, Make's or any other third-party cloud. Most US-based tools route data through American infrastructure; here it never leaves the EU.

Yes. You get all credentials, the workflow JSON export, database access and server access. If you ever want to move to a different provider or run it yourself, I will help with that.

It stays on my server for as long as I have to touch it: the build, then the guarantee period. Two weeks before it ends I tell you and send a full export on request. You then either move to your own server, which I help with, or take the €250/mo Support plan and it stays where it is. Nothing is deleted by surprise, nothing is locked to me.

During the build I am the only one with access, and that access is revocable. After handover every key and login is yours and I step out, unless you are on a retainer. Traffic runs over TLS, data is encrypted at rest, credentials are stored encrypted rather than in plain text, and backups run automatically every day. Your stack runs on a dedicated instance, not a shared multi-tenant box next to a thousand other companies.

Yes. Where a build means I process personal data on your behalf, you are the controller and I act as processor under Article 28. A Data Processing Agreement is available on request and is usually signed alongside the project agreement. Ask for it in the form and I will send it with the scope document.
