Why n8n
Among all automation tools, n8n is the one we deploy most at our clients. Three reasons why.
n8n can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure, in France or elsewhere in the EU. Your customer data never goes through a third-party cloud: a real GDPR advantage over Zapier or Make.
n8n natively integrates models (Claude, GPT, Mistral), RAG and the MCP protocol. One tool orchestrates both classic automations and AI agents.
n8n charges per workflow execution, not per operation. A 30-step workflow costs the same as a 3-step one: the most economical model once you scale.
What we build
Examples of systems delivered at our clients, maintained and monitored over time. At Nomination, millions of AI executions a year.
Sales
Lead enrichment, scoring, outreach sequences and CRM sync automated end to end.
Ops
Quote and invoice reading, payment reminders, ERP and accounting exports without manual entry.
CX
Inbound triage, AI-drafted replies and smart escalation to your teams.
Data
Multi-tool consolidation, continuously updated dashboards and proactive KPI alerts.
n8n training
We do not ship a black box: every project includes upskilling your teams.
Nodes, triggers, error handling, structuring best practices: your teams read and edit workflows with confidence.
Connecting a model, plugging in a knowledge base, guardrailing an agent: the level above classic automation.
Who builds, who approves, who monitors: the framework that keeps automation reliable as it spreads across the company.
30 minutes to map your need and estimate the gain before launching anything.
Book a calln8n is an open source, self-hostable workflow automation tool with native AI capabilities. This guide covers the concepts, the use cases, the pricing as of October 2026 and the limits.
Read the guideAn n8n automation project has three cost lines: build, monthly consumption and maintenance. The first two can be calculated, the third is almost always underestimated. Here is the costing method Tandem applies, with vendor pricing checked in October 2026.
Read the guideAn AI agent in n8n is one central node, a model, some tools and a set of instructions. The first version takes about ten minutes to build. This guide walks through the six steps, then through what separates a good demo from an agent that runs every day.
Read the guiden8n is an open-source workflow automation tool. It connects your applications (CRM, email, ERP, spreadsheets) and runs scenarios automatically, with a native AI agent layer. It is the European, self-hostable alternative to Zapier or Make. For a first hands-on look, our AI Agents 101 guide explains where n8n fits and shows how to build a first agent without code.
The self-hosted community edition is free with unlimited executions: you only pay for your server. Cloud plans start around 20 euros per month. The real cost of an n8n project is workflow design, not the license. Every plan is broken down in our n8n pricing analysis.
Three reasons: sovereign hosting (your data stays with you), cost at scale (per-execution pricing, not per-operation) and technical depth (code, AI agents, MCP). Make and Zapier remain fine for simple needs; once volume or confidentiality matter, n8n wins. The full head-to-head is in our n8n vs Make vs Zapier comparison.
Wherever you decide. We deploy n8n on your infrastructure or on a dedicated European server. No data goes through third-party services your IT has not approved, and access is audited.
A first production workflow costs thousands of euros, not tens of thousands. After a quick diagnosis of your process, we quote a fixed price with a measurable gain target. Maintenance then scales with the number of workflows. The full budget breakdown, from setup to the monthly bill, is in our guide to n8n project costs.
Yes. Tandem is a French company headquartered in Paris, and we support SMBs and mid-market companies across the whole country, from Lyon to Toulouse through Bordeaux, Nantes and Marseille. An n8n project runs very well remotely, since the platform is administered from a browser and progress reviews happen over video. We travel for scoping workshops and training sessions when your team prefers working on site.
An integrator connects tools together and delivers a scenario that works. An n8n agency like Tandem starts with scoping, picks the automations genuinely worth building, ships them on infrastructure you control, then trains your teams to evolve them without us. The difference shows up six months later, when an API changes and somebody has to fix the workflow. We cover the criteria for choosing an n8n partner in a dedicated article.
