Cotrijal is one of Brazil’s largest agricultural cooperatives, providing end to end solutions for rural producers across commercialization, storage, logistics, and operational support. Recognized for its commitment to innovation and sustainability, the cooperative has become a technology driven reference in the agribusiness sector, helping producers improve efficiency, competitiveness, and long term growth.
Cotrijal faced increasing complexity in managing databases that support critical day to day operations across the cooperative. Maintaining high availability, security, performance, and fast access to information was essential for operational continuity and decision making.
At the same time, maintaining a fully internalized database management structure generated high operational costs and increased dependency on specialized individual expertise. Strategically, the cooperative chose not to internalize this function, prioritizing investments and internal resources toward initiatives more directly connected to business growth and core operations.
A key differentiator in this engagement was the adoption of OCEAN AI, Octafy’s AI-powered operational copilot designed to support managed services teams responsible for database and infrastructure operations.
Rather than replacing technical specialists, OCEAN AI works alongside Octafy’s engineers, helping them operate more efficiently, proactively, and consistently across complex enterprise environments.
Integrated directly into the managed services operation, OCEAN AI continuously analyzes monitoring data, incidents, alerts, operational patterns, historical tickets, and database behavior to assist technical teams with faster diagnostics, root cause analysis, performance optimization, and operational decision-making.
By combining artificial intelligence with human expertise, the platform helps reduce response times, minimize operational risks, and improve the quality and consistency of technical execution.
For Cotrijal, this created a more proactive and intelligence-driven operational model, where technical teams could anticipate potential issues earlier, accelerate troubleshooting processes, and maintain greater operational stability across critical database environments.
Beyond operational efficiency, OCEAN AI also helped centralize technical knowledge, standardize operational processes, and reduce dependency on isolated individual expertise, creating a scalable operational intelligence layer that evolves continuously alongside the business.
The implementation delivered measurable improvements in operational efficiency, governance, and service consistency.
Cotrijal gained access to a comprehensive managed database solution at a substantially lower cost than maintaining a fully internal specialist structure internally. At the same time, operational errors were reduced, issue resolution became faster, and overall service reliability improved.
With support from OCEAN AI, operational decisions became increasingly data driven, improving response times and enhancing infrastructure management quality. Scalability also improved significantly, enabling growth without increasing dependency on isolated technical expertise.
Additionally, operational knowledge became centralized, reusable, and continuously expandable, transforming technical intelligence into a strategic asset for the cooperative.
Through Octafy’s managed services model and the integration of OCEAN AI, Cotrijal modernized its database management operations with a stronger focus on efficiency, scalability, security, and operational intelligence.
The combination of artificial intelligence, proactive monitoring, and collective technical expertise reduced operational risks, optimized resource allocation, and allowed the cooperative to remain focused on its core business while maintaining a resilient and future ready technology foundation.
