Case Study: Grupo Comercial Control achieves 100% prevention of overpayments and 80% reduction in inventory operating expenses with CaseWare Analytics

Grupo Comercial Control - Customer Case Study

Grupo Comercial Control (GCC) is a major Mexican retail and restaurant group with more than 70 stores, boutiques and restaurants across 50+ cities. Facing razor-thin margins, GCC struggled to review massive volumes of transaction and inventory data (over 120 million transactions monthly) with a small audit team, and suffered losses from missing, damaged or non-moving merchandise as well as incorrect payroll and social insurance payments. To address this, they selected CaseWare Analytics (including CaseWare IDEA) for continuous monitoring and data analysis.

Using the CaseWare Analytics suite, GCC implemented continuous audit reviews, automated alerts, workflows and easy-to-use analytics that deliver results in minutes rather than days. CaseWare Analytics enabled GCC to monitor 120M+ transactions monthly, eliminate improper social insurance payments (100% prevention), cut operating expenses related to inventory by about 80% over three years, speed analyses from two days to five minutes, and detect unauthorized expenses and unsold merchandise—significantly improving inventory control and profitability.
