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.

From Data Chaos to a Trust Score for Every Table

Databricks' own internal Data Platform team rebuilt data governance across its internal lakehouse of more than 100,000 tables spanning engineering, go-to-market, HR, finance and product telemetry, using Unity Catalog to move from inconsistent, team-by-team access patterns to automatic, measurable governance. The team built a universal classification model tagging every table by sensitivity and domain, an internal system called Fortress enforcing purpose-bound, time-limited access via Unity Catalog's security APIs, and a continuous Data Governance Score (0-100) per dataset covering documentation, reliability and governance, propagated automatically through data lineage. The resulting governance layer now underpins AI agents used across every function at Databricks, from engineering to finance to facilities, letting teams check a dataset's governance score before using it to train a model instead of running manual reviews.
