Why Supabase for this
Most manual work in a business is re-entering data that already exists in another system. That is the cheapest automation there is, and it is routinely the last thing anyone builds.
Supabase is strongest at production-grade auth and RLS without building them, on standard Postgres you can leave. For workflow & integration automation that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: opinionated in ways that occasionally fight a complex custom auth model. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
Do you use tools like n8n and Zapier, or custom code?
Both, chosen by fit. Off-the-shelf automation is right for straightforward flows; custom code earns its keep once volume, error handling or logic complexity grows.
What if a system has no API?
There is usually a path, database access, file exchange, or a supported export. We assess feasibility before quoting rather than after.
Who maintains it afterwards?
You do, and we write the runbook and documentation to make that realistic. We also offer a managed retainer if you would rather we kept it.
