Client purpose
Cobega is a family-owned corporate group with international presence that manages business opportunities for companies within the Group and provides strategic services in various sectors.
The internal audit department is responsible for ensuring that purchasing, sales, and invoicing processes operate without any inconsistencies. Their goal is to identify and resolve any issues before external auditors conduct their review.
To find all these inconsistencies, they needed to stop working manually with Excel and automate the entire process.
Their main pain points were:
- Difficulty during data cleaning and preparation. Selecting specific datasets, removing special characters, and filtering are tedious processes.
- Cumbersome manual work, as report construction is complex, with widespread use of non-cutting-edge and limited tools like Excel.
- Percentage of human errors in analysis.
- Repetition of a large portion of tasks, period after period.
- Difficulty in conducting an analysis of the entire population, which forced them to perform audits on small non-representative samples.
We offered them different solutions to automate their internal audit processes, and as soon as we found one that fit their needs, we dived headfirst into the challenge and took the first step towards forging a time-tested relationship.
How we navigate it
We began by deeply analysing their current processes, systems, data sources, and infrastructure.
We then designed a roadmap and started working to automate the end-to-end workflow. This process consisted of:
- Data extraction from source systems.
- Data processing and cleaning.
- Loading data into a Cloud data lake.
- Automating control checks and analysis.
- Building dashboards to view the reports.
To carry out this process, zenital provided different seniority profiles to address all the tasks, aiming to achieve better quality and faster deliveries.
Where it took us
The new automated solution delivered:
- Avoidance of manual processes, minimizing human errors.
- Optimized auditing costs through workflow efficiencies.
- Accelerated, reliable results for more proactive insights.

How to change an entire data strategy
I imagine 8wires as that sincere and honest partner that takes you out of all that noise and helps you focus on what is important, no matter how unsexy it may be, to achieve a great long-term goal.
The one who accompanies you through the hard times and helps you through the tough decisions, knowing that there is no easy road. The one who gives you the push or the tools so that you climb and be yourself the one who reaches the summits you propose in a healthy, sustainable and energetic way. And above all, the one who steps aside when he knows that he is not helping you or that he will not be able to give you what you need.
I don't know if it is helpful, but somehow I saw on the web a visual explanation of the problem in the data/technology world (I don't know if with this metaphor) before showing how it is to work with us and finally, another visual explanation of the result.
Like a bridge over troubled waters
