Review on Our Hack Event: From Manual to Automated Data Reconcilation

Our first hack event of the year took place in January and impressively demonstrated just how much innovation, team spirit and pragmatism drive the KUPA-Group. The foucs was on a topic, that affects us all:

How can we intelligently automate recurring manual tasks to save time, reduce errors, and make our work more efficient?

The event was supported by Holger Braune from Hirschtec.

At the beginning, Julian and Holger provided a concise overview of:

  • why automation is a key driver of quality and efficiency,

  • how smart data matching can significantly improve our processes,

  • and the role that transparency, collaboration, and realistic assessment play in making it successful.

This was followed by a collaborative brainstorming session. Colleagues participating both on-site and remotely shared their ideas for automating data reconciliation processes. This close connection to day-to-day work is what makes the difference: the focus was not on abstract projects, but on practical solutions that can provide immediate relief in everyday operations.

In Holger's words:

„Our automation experts love big ideas – but what really matters is that they make a difference in your day-to-day work."

Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas, asked questions, and shared their thoughts so openly.

Automation is a team effort, and yesterday once again showed the strength of collaboration across the KUPA Group. 💡
