Crisp partnered with Databricks to launch AI Blueprints, a suite of open-source, artificial intelligence (AI)-ready templates designed to help consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands identify opportunities and address challenges in sales, assortment planning, supply chain optimization, and more.

“AI Blueprints demonstrates how quickly some of the biggest challenges in retail and supply chain analytics can be addressed by applying state-of-the-art technology to fresh, clean, and well-organized data," says Dag Liodden, chief product officer, Crisp. "By collaborating with Databricks and other cloud platforms, we’re creating a scalable, AI-ready foundation that will empower data teams to deliver meaningful business outcomes.”

“Blueprints simplify how data is analyzed and transformed, enabling teams to achieve more with fewer resources," says Justin Fenton, senior director, technical partnerships, Databricks. "This partnership is about empowering analysts and decision-makers with robust, pre-built tools that are ready for immediate deployment.”

Key takeaways:
