Ahold Delhaize trains ML models for personalization and inventory forecasting across brands
Ahold Delhaize, one of the world's largest food retail groups (7,452+ stores across multiple countries), built a self-service data platform on Databricks Lakeflow Jobs and Auto Loader that lets data engineers across its brands build pipelines for AI/ML needs. Etos uses the platform for machine learning and model training for personalization and inventory forecasting; Albert Heijn's ML engineering team uses Lakeflow Jobs to orchestrate feature engineering and continuous ML model training/retraining pipelines. The platform runs about 1,165 data ingestion jobs daily, cut deployment time 4.5x (1.5 hours to 20 minutes), and reduced costs by 50% through cluster reuse.
