As Bordr's NIF application orders grew, managing them across multiple disconnected apps became unsustainable without a way to automate workflows and integrate all their services to keep pace with demand.

Outcome

After automating with n8n, Bordr saw a significant increase in productivity and improved customer experience, scaling NIF order operations without sacrificing service quality.
