What you get back by automating
01 
You take back billable hours every week.
The tasks that come back every day, data entry, follow-ups, formatting reports, move into the background. Your teams give that time back to what produces revenue.
02 
You stop hiring for copy-paste work.
Some roles exist because no tool bridges two pieces of software. A workflow costs less than an annual salary and does not take holidays.
03 
You are alerted when an automation fails.
Every automation is logged, step by step. When something fails, you receive an alert, and the error stays visible instead of disappearing into an inbox.
What the people who went through it say
Numinam's contribution to the development of our App has been significant in its success with our B2C and B2B customers.

Numinam has completely modernized our website. The design is clearer, more credible, and our visitors understand what we do. A real leap in quality. Also worth noting is the excellent collaboration between Numinam and our development agency. Thank…

What you get
Process mapping
The list of your repetitive tasks, costed in hours per week. That document decides the order of the projects, and sometimes decides not to start one.
n8n workflows
Built on your infrastructure or hosted by me, connected to your tools. You stay the owner of the workflows: they export to a file.
AI processing
Classifying enquiries, extracting data from documents, writing first drafts. Only where the result can be verified, never to decide in your place.
Connections to your software
CRM, accounting, email, spreadsheets, calendar. If your business software exposes no API, we look together at what remains feasible, and at what cost.
Alerts and logs
You know when a workflow runs, when it fails and why. A silent automation that crashes costs more than no automation at all.
Documentation
Every automation is explained in a document your team can read, with no technical vocabulary. You do not need to call me to know what is running.
Projects delivered, not demos
Every project arrives with its tools and its habits already in place. My job as a developer: connect them without breaking what works.

Five steps. We always start with the most profitable process, not the most impressive one.
100%
- 12%
01 Process audit
Half a day with your teams to list the tasks and cost them in hours. They are the ones who know where the time goes. - 8%
02 Prioritisation
We rank by time saved and by difficulty. Some lines drop off the list: not everything is meant to be automated. - 20%
03 First workflow
One process automated and put into production quickly, to validate the approach on something real rather than on a diagram. - 45%
04 Roll-out
The following processes, one at a time, with your teams testing as we go. Nothing switches over all at once. - 15%
05 Follow-up
Fixing edge cases, adjustments, measuring the hours actually saved. The number announced gets verified.
Prices are published. You know before you call.
I charge €700 per working day. The price depends on the number of processes, the number of tools to connect and how accessible your software is through an API.

Your questions about automation
How much does automating a process cost at Numinam?
I charge €700 per working day. What moves the number of days is the number of tools to connect and the quality of their APIs, not the number of visible steps in the process.
| Type of process | Budget | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Simple flow | from €700 (1 day) | Two tools synchronised, few conditions |
| First project | from €2,800 (4 days) | 1 to 2 processes, alerts, documentation |
| Complete project | from €8,400 (12 days) | 5 to 10 processes, AI processing, training |
| Monthly support | from €600 / month | Maintenance, adjustments, new workflows |
The initial audit exists to cost the hours you lose today. Without that number, there is no way to say whether a project is worth starting.
Which processes should a Belgian SME automate first?
The best candidates are tasks done several times a week, always the same way, by someone whose time is expensive.
| Process | Hours recovered | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry from the site into the CRM | 2 to 4 h per week | Low |
| Automatic quotes and invoices | 3 to 6 h per week | Low |
| Payment reminders | 2 to 3 h per week | Low |
| Monthly reports compiled by hand | 4 to 8 h per month | Medium |
| Sorting and classifying incoming enquiries | 3 to 5 h per week | Medium |
| Extracting data from PDFs | Variable, often high | High |
I always start with the most profitable and least risky row, not the one that looks most spectacular in a demo.
Will automation cut jobs in my team?
In the companies I work with, no: the recovered hours go back into work nobody had time for. Chasing pending quotes, calling former clients, looking after live files properly.
What automation does remove are roles that only existed to copy data from one piece of software into another. If that is your case, better to know before hiring. I say so plainly during the audit, because it is a decision that belongs to you.
Does it work with the tools we already use?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. The tools common in Belgium integrate without difficulty: Odoo, Teamleader, Exact, Yuki, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Teams.
The problem case is old business software with no API. There are still options then, file imports, a dedicated mailbox, reading the database directly, but they are more fragile and I warn you before, not after.
What is the difference between n8n, Zapier and Make?
All three do the same job. They differ on what matters long term: where your data lives and how the bill evolves with volume.
| n8n | Zapier | Make | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting | With you or with me | With the vendor, in the United States | With the vendor, in Europe |
| Cost with volume | Fixed, independent of the number of runs | Grows with the number of tasks | Grows with the number of operations |
| Complex logic | Code possible inside the workflow | Limited | Decent |
| Sensitive data | Never leaves your infrastructure | Passes through the vendor | Passes through the vendor |
| Reversibility | Exportable workflows, open-source tool | Dependency on the platform | Dependency on the platform |
I mainly work with n8n for those reasons. If you are already set up on Zapier or Make and it suits you, I build on top rather than making you migrate.
What happens if an automation breaks down?
You are alerted, and that is the most important point. Every workflow logs its runs and sends an alert on failure, with the error message and the record concerned.
Workflows are also designed to fail cleanly: a step that crashes overwrites nothing and creates no duplicate. Recovery only covers the runs concerned. With a monthly support package, fixing it is on me; without one, the intervention is billed by time spent.
Do you need AI to automate, or is it a marketing argument?
Most hours are recovered without AI. Moving a record from one tool to another, sending a reminder, generating an invoice: those are rules, and rules are a hundred per cent reliable.
AI earns its place when the input is unstructured: classifying enquiries written in free text, extracting lines from a PDF invoice, drafting a first reply. There, it saves a lot. The rule I hold myself to: AI proposes, a person approves, for as long as the error rate has not been measured on your real data.
Automation by a freelance or by a consulting firm?
A firm sells you an analysis first, then has someone else implement it. A freelance does both, which shortens the delay between the recommendation and the workflow actually running.
| Freelance | Consulting firm | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | No overhead to carry | Overhead passed on |
| Timeline | First workflow in production in 2 weeks | Analysis phase first, often 1 to 2 months |
| Who implements | The person who did the audit | An integrator, sometimes external |
| Knowledge transfer | Documentation and training included | Depends on the contract |
| When it is the right call | SME, defined scope, fast decisions | Group-wide transformation, change management |
Beyond a certain size of organisation, the firm earns its place: the hard part is no longer technical, it is human.
