Transforming supply chain data into real-time intelligence with GenAI
Accuris built a GenAI-powered engineering assistant on the Databricks Data + AI Platform, using RAG, AI Search, MLflow and Model Serving to index over 40 million records across 1 billion+ parts, achieving a 10x increase in development velocity from concept to customer-facing feature.
Overview
Accuris built a GenAI-powered engineering assistant on the Databricks Data + AI Platform, using RAG, AI Search, MLflow and Model Serving to index over 40 million records across 1 billion+ parts, achieving a 10x increase in development velocity from concept to customer-facing feature.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Accuris's catalog of electronic components, enriched with structured and unstructured parametric data, environmental attributes, pricing and documentation, was so voluminous and varied that generating AI-ready insights at scale was difficult; early traditional ML approaches required labor-intensive feature engineering, delivered inconsistent model performance, and demanded heavy compute and technical expertise, while sourcing teams needed faster, more accurate ways to identify alternate parts and reduce supply chain risk.
The solution
Accuris moved to the Databricks Data + AI Platform to build a GenAI-powered engineering assistant, using Unity Catalog to govern structured and unstructured data, Delta Lake and Spark Declarative Pipelines for reliable pipelines, managed MLflow for model development and tracking, and the Databricks suite of Agent Framework, AI Search and Model Serving for retrieval-augmented generation and real-time, domain-specific decision-making.
Reported business value
Accuris achieved a 10x increase in speed from concept to delivery, indexed over 40 million records for rapid semantic AI Search, and manages more than 1 billion parts across structured and unstructured data sources through its GenAI-powered engineering assistant, currently in early access with customers.

HP crafts marketing campaigns that resonate with customers using Databricks and Uniphore
HP centralized first-party customer data on the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake and Unity Catalog, and connected it to Uniphore's HybridCompute for federated query pushdown, cutting campaign setup from 2 weeks to 2 hours and processing 400 million records in seconds.
Building a safer and more sustainable world
Novade, a construction management software company, partnered with Databricks to modernize its analytics and ML infrastructure, moving from a homegrown Apache Airflow stack to the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and MLflow. The move reduced total cost of ownership by 60% and supported a 100% increase in new clients, while enabling ML models for predicting incident risk affecting worker safety and project delivery schedules.
SafeGraph optimizes geospatial data processing with Databricks and Delta Sharing
SafeGraph used the Databricks Data + AI Platform, Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and MLflow to process petabytes of geospatial data and feed predictive models, achieving 2x-10x faster spatial querying, indexing and partitioning and a 50% reduction in peak memory consumption compared to other platforms, while reducing data access time for partners from months to minutes via Delta Sharing.
Transforming Weather Forecasting with Lakeflow Jobs
AccuWeather migrated from on-premises infrastructure to Databricks and Lakeflow Jobs, working with Datadog for observability, to unify diverse weather data formats and orchestrate 4,500+ weekly jobs. Lakeflow Jobs coordinates the ingestion of multiple weather models, triggers machine learning processes that weight and blend different forecasts, and manages complex job dependencies for reinforcement training workflows used in AccuWeather's proprietary forecasting engine. AccuWeather reports 3x faster dataset development (three months to one month per dataset), a 50% reduction in unactionable alerts, and 50% cost savings on serverless job usage.
