Why We Build on n8n

n8n isn't just another automation tool. It's a programmable workflow engine that scales with your business.

Fair-Code & Flexibility

n8n's source-available license means you can inspect, modify, and extend workflows with custom JavaScript. No black boxes—full transparency.

Data Privacy & Security

Self-host on your own infrastructure—UK, EU, or anywhere. Your data never leaves your control. Full GDPR compliance by design.

Scalable Pricing

Stop paying per task. n8n scales with execution time, not operation count. Process 10,000 rows for the same cost as 10.

Annual Cost Comparison: 50,000 Tasks/Month

Zapier (Team Plan) £7,800/year

Proof of Results

What We've Built

Real workflows, real results. Here are some examples of n8n based automation architecture that we've built for our clients.

social media automated publishing workflow
Social Media Marketing

Automated Social Media Publishing

250+
Social Media Posts Automated

flowio built a series of workflows for a UK based mortgage broker to automate the process of publishing social media posts across multiple platforms. As a compliant industry, we combined this with a custom locally hosted dashboard, and a human-in-the-loop approval process to ensure compliance with financial regulations.

job scheduler automation using Google distance matrix API
Efficiency

Job Scheduling and Dispatch Efficiency

£60k
Annual savings achieved

Using Google Distance Matrix API, we architected a solution for a UK based Boiler Installation company to automate the process of finding the best and most efficient engineer travel routes from postcode to postcode. Previously done manually - this tranformed job scheduling and dispatch, saving significant time and overhead costs.

Outbound AI voice agent automation
Customer Re-Engagement

Outbound Booking AI Voice Agent

4000+
Customers Re-Engaged

We helped a UK based home service company re-engage over 4000 existing customers to get them booked in for their annual service. Using a combination of AI voice and SMS, we automated the entire process, including a full booking system using Go High Level, ServiceM8, Elevenlabs API and n8n. We developed a full session and queue database system alongside to ensure that the system could handle the load of thousands of concurrent calls and messages.

Workflow Automation FAQs

Business process automation is the use of software to automate and optimise manual, repetitive business process workflows. It can include a range of activities, such as data entry, document processing, and financial admin. Wherever there is a manual process, business process automation can help to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase productivity. Take, for example a financial process of chasing invoices - previously a finance admin would have to manually chase each invoice, and then manually enter the data into the system. With business workflow automation, this process can be completely automated using tools like n8n connected to Xero and your email systems to automatically chase debtors and invoices over X days late - alerting the team to take action.
Zapier and Make automation platforms are a great starting point for automating workflows, however n8n is superior when it comes to scaling businesses and enterprise workflows due to pricing, data ownership, and integration capabilities. n8n is also open source and can be self-hosted, giving you full control over your data and infrastructure. Whilst no-code automation platforms such as Zapier and Make may be great for simple one or two node workflows to get you started - n8n wins out for complex integrations, code customisation, and greater scalability.
No, but you can host n8n on your own server if you prefer. We offer flexible deployment options to suit your needs. Managed Self-Hosted: We provision secure, scalable private servers for you. You get full data privacy and dedicated performance without the technical headache of maintenance. n8n Cloud: For startups and smaller workflows we can deploy on n8n's managed cloud infrastructure for rapid implementation. Whichever otpion you choose, we handle the technical setup, hardening, and backups.

Technical & Security

Yes. This is a core strength of n8n - and a key differentiator of what flowio offers compared to other AI automation agencies. If a platform has an API (REST, GraphQL, or SOAP), we can connect to it. We can write custom HTTP requests or develop custom n8n nodes in JavaScript/TypeScript to connect niche industry software, legacy systems, or internal databases that standard tools like Zapier can't touch.
Yes, we specialise in migration services. We don't just "copy and paste" your workflows; we re-architect them to take advantage of n8n's superior batch processing and error-handling capabilities. This typically results in faster execution times and lower failure rates. We handle the entire transition in a sandbox environment to ensure zero downtime for your live operations.
Absolutely. We are AI automation specialists and understand where and when to implement Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance your workflows. Models like GPT-5, Sonnet 4.5/Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3 can be used to generate content, improve data quality, and even generate code for your automations. We advise on the best model for your use case, and build-in scalable AI architecture into your automation. We also specialise in deploying local LLM models to run compliant, and regulated AI automation.

Support & Maintenance

We build robust error-handling logic into every workflow, including automatic retries and exponential backoff for transient API issues. For critical failures, our Managed Services include 24/7 monitoring with real-time alerts via Slack or Email. Our UK-based support team investigates and resolves issues immediately, often before you even notice them.
Yes. We believe in "fair-code" and ownership. Once deployed, we hand over the keys. We provide video guides, documentation, and team training so your internal staff can understand and maintain the workflows. The visual nature of n8n means non-developers can often make basic changes (like updating email copy) without needing to write code.
We have deployed over 340+ individual n8n based workflows for 20+ UK clients within the last 12 months across a wide range of sectors.

Some examples include:
Example: We saved a UK boiler company £60k/year by automating job dispatch with Google Distance Matrix.

Example: We automated compliant social media publishing for a UK Mortgage Broker.

Example: We reduced candidate screening time by 85% for a Recruitment Agency using AI parsing.

See our case studies for more examples.
Yes. We're UK-GDPR compliant, ICO registered, and follow ISO 27001 and SOC II security practices. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We build in extensive guardrails, error tracing and observability into each n8n workflow to ensure maximum security and compliance. We never share your data with third parties, it's never used for model training, and we can sign NDAs and data processing agreements as required.
