Solution

Carhartt uses Databricks Data + AI Platform, Lakeflow Jobs, and Delta Lake to support GenAI-driven customer feedback analysis and workflow automation. Carhartt needed to analyze large volumes of reviews and speed data engineering work because older orchestration tooling and manual review workflows slowed feature delivery and customer insight generation. In practice, the implementation stores or organizes core datasets in Delta Lake, coordinates repeatable workflows with Lakeflow Jobs, and runs transformation or AI logic on Databricks Data + AI Platform. Customer, product, and interaction data are consolidated into Delta Lake; pipeline execution is coordinated with Lakeflow Jobs; Databricks Data + AI Platform applies analytics or model logic. The case study reports Aligning workwear innovation with customer-focused insights 100%, reduction in pipeline failures since inception 50%, and reduction in code review time with Lakeflow Jobs 6X, showing measurable improvement after the rollout.

Data flow
