Solution

TruGreen uses Databricks Data + AI Platform, Databricks SQL, Unity Catalog, and TruSight to support AI-powered branch reporting and operations analytics. TruGreen needed daily operational insight for branch managers because a legacy data warehouse made it slow and expensive to trace ERP changes, analyze branch performance, and operationalize machine learning. In practice, the implementation governs access and lineage with Unity Catalog, runs transformation or AI logic on Databricks Data + AI Platform, and delivers outputs through Databricks SQL. Streaming operational telemetry and business events are consolidated into a governed cloud data layer; Databricks Data + AI Platform applies analytics or model logic; results are surfaced through Databricks SQL. The case study reports Cultivating the perfect lawn for 2.3 million customers, 50% lower, and Data warehousing costs after migrating to Databricks SQL 200+, showing measurable improvement after the rollout.

Data flow

Streaming operational telemetry and business events are consolidated into a governed cloud data layer; Databricks Data + AI Platform applies analytics or model logic; results are surfaced through Databricks SQL.

Solution architecture
