Use cases

What we automate in practice

Typical processes where people still copy, retype and chase answers today. Every one of them is a good starting point for a pilot.

Finance

Match incoming payments automatically

Bank statements arrive via bank API or CAMT file, get reconciled against open items and booked. Claude also reads messy payment references and proposes a match for approval when it is unsure.

  1. Bank statement
  2. Match open items
  3. Book or approve
Documents

Extract data from PDFs and process it

Invoices, delivery notes, contracts and forms are turned into structured data by Claude, checked against your rules and written straight into ERP, CRM or a spreadsheet. Even for scans and changing layouts.

  1. PDF or scan
  2. Extract data
  3. Check and file
Finance

Incoming invoices through to approval

The invoice arrives by email, gets read, checked against the purchase order, routed for approval and booked.

Finance

Dunning and payment reminders

Open items are monitored, reminders go out in your tone of voice and replies are matched automatically.

Communication

Mailbox and inbound requests

Requests are read, classified and answered, or created as a ticket in the right team, with a draft reply for approval.

Sales

Quotes and contracts as PDF

A ready-made quote as PDF is generated from the CRM deal, including sending and follow-up.

Sales

Qualify and onboard leads

Requests from forms or LinkedIn are enriched, scored and created in the CRM. Sales only gets the good ones.

Data

Keep systems in sync

Customers, products and orders stay in sync between CRM, ERP and shop, with no spreadsheet in between.

Leadership

Reporting for management

Numbers from bank, ERP and CRM land in your inbox every Monday as a short report with commentary from Claude.

AI

Knowledge assistant on your company data

Claude answers questions about contracts, customers and processes, with access only to what each person is allowed to see.

    MCP platform for enterprises: expose internal tools, APIs and data to AI agents in a controlled way, with workspaces, permissions and SSO.

Henrik Lippke

About us

We don't just advise. We build.

TechnologyCircle is the team around Henrik Lippke: founder, more than 15 years of professional software development, from writing code to leading a tech organisation. As Head of Technology at a Hamburg-based fintech he built a team of around 50 people across three locations.

We are a small team in Hamburg, remote first, and bring in experienced freelancers from our network for SAP, banking, data and AI depending on the project. Small enough that you always talk to the people who build. Flexible enough that a rollout never depends on a single person.

Technically we have worked cloud-native on AWS with Node.js and TypeScript for more than ten years, from frontend through serverless to operations and monitoring.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

n8n Cloud or self-hosting?

For getting started, the cloud is often enough. As soon as banking data, HR data or internal systems are involved, we recommend self-hosting on your own infrastructure. We set up and operate both.

What does a pilot cost?

A pilot with one production process is a fixed-price project over two weeks. We quote the exact price after the intro call, once systems and scope are clear.

Who works on our project?

A small core team that builds things itself, reinforced where needed by specialists from our network, for example for SAP or banking. Henrik remains your technical point of contact throughout and vouches for quality.

What if n8n is not the right fit?

Then we say so. Some processes belong in classic code or in a product that already exists. We sell solutions, not a tool.

How does the collaboration work in practice?

Remote with regular check-ins, on site in Hamburg when needed. We work remote first, so we are easy to reach wherever you are. Code and workflows live in your repository, credentials belong to you.

Which process would you automate first?

30 minutes, no pitch. We look together at what is worth it, what a pilot costs and how fast it can run. Pick a slot right away.
