Custom automation for the work that shouldn't be manual

Every system I build is designed around your specific process, your software stack and your data. Not generic templates — functional workflows that slot into how you actually operate.

n8n is a self-hosted, open-source workflow engine that gives full control over data routing, transformation logic and integrations. It's the backbone of most systems I build — reliable, auditable and easy to maintain without vendor lock-in.

Scheduled data processing

Trigger workflows on a schedule — daily, weekly or on file arrival — to process and route data automatically.

Multi-step data transformation

Clean, reshape and enrich data as it moves between systems. Handle edge cases, missing fields and format mismatches.

Webhook-triggered pipelines

React to events from external platforms — order placed, payment received, status updated — and trigger downstream actions.

Error handling and alerts

Built-in fallback logic and notifications so broken records are caught, flagged and reviewed — not silently skipped.

Whether you're selling on Amazon, eBay, or through your own shop front, the data coming out of those platforms needs to be processed, reconciled and fed into your back-office systems. I build the pipelines that do that reliably.

Amazon FBA settlement processing

Parse VAT transaction reports and settlement CSVs, calculate correct VAT treatment and post to accounting.

Order and inventory sync

Keep stock levels and order statuses consistent across multiple channels and your inventory system.

Product listing automation

Generate and update product listings across platforms from a central data source. AI-assisted description generation included.

Shipping and tracking workflows

Automate label generation, carrier selection logic and tracking update notifications to customers.

eBay and BaseLinker integration

Connect eBay Trading API and BaseLinker to your wider operations — orders, stock, returns and pricing.

Multi-channel reporting

Consolidated sales, margin and fee reports across all channels — generated automatically on schedule.

Accounting integrations require more precision than most automation tasks — correct VAT treatment, matched contacts, accurate currency conversions and a clean audit trail. That's the standard I build to.

Sage Business Cloud integration

Create and post sales invoices, purchase transactions and contacts via Sage API v3.1 with correct UK VAT logic.

PDF invoice data extraction

Automatically pull figures, dates, references and line items from supplier invoices in PDF format.

Multi-language invoice handling

EU supplier invoices in French, Dutch, Italian or German — extracted and posted with exchange rate conversion.

VAT treatment logic

Differentiate UK standard rate, zero-rated, EU distance selling and international B2B transactions automatically.

Customer deduplication

Match incoming contacts to existing records by email and postcode — avoiding duplicates without manual review.

QuickBooks integration

Same structured approach for QuickBooks — multi-channel sales, fees and shipping costs mapped to correct ledger accounts.

Not every automation task is a simple rule-based transformation. AI-assisted steps add judgement where needed — classifying emails, extracting meaning from unstructured text, generating first drafts — while the wider workflow keeps it structured and auditable.

Email triage and classification

Automatically categorise inbound emails by intent — order query, return request, supplier communication — and route accordingly.

AI-generated email drafts

Draft responses based on context. Human reviews and approves before sending — the AI does the first pass.

Product description generation

Generate marketplace-ready product descriptions from structured data — title, specs, EAN, category — at scale.

Unstructured data extraction

Pull key information from PDFs, images or mixed-format documents where conventional parsing falls short.

Most modern business tools offer APIs — but connecting them in a way that's reliable, handles authentication properly and degrades gracefully when something goes wrong takes more than reading the docs. That's the work I do.

REST API integrations

OAuth2, API key and token-based auth — handled correctly. Rate limiting, pagination and retry logic built in.

Webhook receivers and routers

Inbound webhooks from marketplaces, payment processors and shipping carriers — validated, parsed and acted on.

Custom integrations

If a native connector doesn't exist or doesn't do what you need, I build one that does — cleanly and maintainably.

Self-hosted infrastructure

n8n, PostgreSQL, Redis and reverse proxy setup on your own server — so your automations run on infrastructure you control.
