The partnership brings Churchill’s proprietary retail AI technology to the Databricks ecosystem, opening new avenues for enterprise adoption.
NOVI, MI – Nov 2, 2026 – Churchill Systems, Inc., a provider of AI-powered demand forecasting and optimization software for retailers, today announced its partnership with Databricks, the Data and AI company. The collaboration unites Churchill’s decades of retail AI innovation with one of the world’s leading data and AI ecosystems.
“Using the Databricks platform, Churchill’s forecasting technology can generate over one billion periodic demand forecasts in a single production run,” said Scott Light, President of Churchill Systems, Inc. “Beyond scale, the platform supports a broader range of demand factors and more complex attribute transformations in our machine learning forecasting models. This creates additional opportunities to enhance Churchill’s capabilities in the areas of pricing, promotions, cannibalization, and halo. Our goal is to translate this technological sophistication into more actionable demand intelligence that supports better retail decisions.
While the partnership expands Churchill’s capabilities within the Databricks ecosystem, its solutions remain independent of any single data platform. Retailers can continue deploying Churchill’s demand forecasting technology within their existing environments, without replacing their current systems.
