We shaved hours off our data‑sync workflows by migrating to n8n

by

What We Changed:

Old Way: Custom C# jobs on a Windows VM pulled data overnight. It was slow, highly technical, & pricey.

New Way: Rebuilt every workflow in n8n, a low-code engine with built-in AI connectors.

Now each sync:

  • Finishes 63 % faster
  • Runs on a $50 Linux container (good‑bye $200 Windows box)
  • Flags errors to support instantly in Slack
“The connectors did 80 % of the work out of the box—I shut down the Windows server the same week.”

Why We Did It:

AI‑ready workflows: n8n lets us call models like Google Gemini mid‑flow for tasks such as check‑image OCR or smart data mapping.

Security first: Everything stays inside the client’s firewall; we push data out—never punch ports in.

Click‑to‑maintain: API change? Tweak a node in the browser, hit save, done. No compile, no deploy queue.

What This Means for You:

  • Faster dashboards every morning—without adding hardware.
  • Fixed, lower TCO (flat licensing beats per‑execution fees).
  • A springboard for AI agents that enrich, validate, or route data in‑flight.
