Field Aerospace, an aircraft modification company, runs self-hosted n8n workflows behind an internal web app to draft responses to government solicitations, extract requirements into a matrix, and score newly published opportunities daily from Deltek GovWin.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of n8n and Field Aerospace, not ours.

> A proposal draft that previously required about two weeks of work from multiple contributors can now reach an 80% starting point in roughly 25 minutes, allowing teams to focus on pricing, evaluation, and risk reduction.

- **$30,000**: “eliminated approximately $30,000 in annual software costs”
- **15 to 20 minutes**: “is now produced in 15 to 20 minutes, depending on document size”

> A general proposal to get to the 80% stage would have taken us probably two weeks of three or four people working on it pretty consistently. And now we get about an 80% solution in 25 minutes.
