Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Tractor Supply spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Secure data sharing was splitting across regional habits. Data platform and lines of business asked for a shared way to run partner data exchange without freezing local judgment.
Databricks (Unity Catalog) is what they standardized on. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. Tractor Supply uses it as the system of record for secure data sharing, with data platform and lines of business as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
