The recognition follows Mantel’s consecutive Snowflake A/NZ Partner of the Year awards in 2025 and 2026.
Snowflake has awarded its CoCo Preferred Partner badge to Mantel, an Australian and New Zealand-owned technology consultancy.
CoCo, formerly known as Cortex Code, is Snowflake’s AI coding agent. It operates within a client’s Snowflake environment and reads existing schemas, roles, and lineage before generating code.
The badge recognises Snowflake partners that apply CoCo in client delivery. Mantel’s data engineers use CoCo to build data pipelines and data models for clients. Mantel engineers review all code that CoCo produces and build it to each client’s existing governance controls.
The badge adds to Mantel’s record with Snowflake. Snowflake named Mantel its Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ) Partner of the Year in 2025 and again in 2026. Mantel also received the APJ Snowflake Services Growth Partner of the Year award for 2026, which recognised our work scaling Snowflake migrations across the Asia Pacific and Japan region.
Mantel holds Elite status in the Snowflake Partner Network, the highest tier available to services partners in the region. Its team holds more than 50 Snowflake certifications, and Mantel holds Snowflake industry competencies in healthcare and financial services.
Mantel has also worked with Snowflake on early access and launch programs. It was a launch partner for Snowflake Openflow, a multi-modal data ingestion service, and for Snowflake Intelligence.
“CoCo has been a smash hit for Snowflake, with its deep integration allowing all of us in the ecosystem to deliver more, faster, and to a better quality. At Mantel, we've been thinking and reimagining our ways of working to unlock how CoCo allows us to accelerate the life cycle of delivering data products; the AI DDLC. The future of data delivery is here now, and it's CoCo plus a custom agent skills framework. This badge means a lot, as it recognises our thought leadership and expertise in the AI DDLC and how we can help Snowflake’s customers achieve more.”
