Cooperativa de Trabajo Equality

What Cooperativa de Trabajo Equality does

Cooperativa de Trabajo Equality Limitada is an Argentine worker-owned technology cooperative headquartered in Rosario, Argentina, founded approximately 2014 by professionals operating under cooperative principles (solidarity, equity, internal democracy). The cooperative provides custom software development, systems analysis, and strategic consulting services primarily to financial-sector clients in Argentina, including the Banco de la Nación Argentina and Banco Credicoop, with secondary engagements in government, defense/security, and construction-related organizations. Its core offering centers on financial regulatory compliance, particularly knowledge of BCRA Regímenes Informativos (Argentine central bank reporting regimes), combined with data security and privacy practices.

The technology stack spans legacy and modern environments — IBM i and RPG alongside Python, Django, React, Angular, Docker, PostgreSQL, DB2, and AWS — enabling the cooperative to maintain and extend incumbent banking systems while building new applications. The product portfolio includes Desarrollo personalizado (custom development), Expertise integral (comprehensive expertise), Consultoría estratégica (strategic consulting), Servicios financieros (BCRA compliance and financial-sector systems analysis), and Agronegocios (agribusiness technology solutions), augmented by stated Data Science and Machine Learning capabilities applied to predictive modeling and process automation in regulatory contexts.

The business model is project-based professional services sold through consultative direct sales, with custom (undisclosed) quotations tailored to enterprise and mid-market clients. The cooperative claims a global client reach despite a single operational base in Rosario, and operates with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding. Marketing is concentrated on its corporate website (equality.coop) and LinkedIn/Instagram profiles, with no enterprise app, public API, or disclosed pricing.
