A first automation client worth $17,500: construction estimates in 20 seconds

A construction company spent 80 to 100 hours a week moving estimate data between Monday.com and QuickBooks, at 45 minutes per estimate. The builder promised an automation in three weeks. In week two, Make could not connect to QuickBooks, so he rebuilt the system in n8n, a tool he had never used, in under a week.
