Case Study: Albert Česká Republika achieves governed, AI-ready data across regions with Adastra

Albert Česká Republika standardizes data governance across 4 countries with Adastra

Albert Česká Republika, a top retail chain in the Czech Republic and part of the Ahold Delhaize group, faced the challenge of building a trusted data foundation to support AI initiatives like personalization and forecasting. Their existing systems lacked a systematic approach to ensure data was complete, consistent, and interpreted uniformly. Adastra was engaged to help them implement a mandatory data governance framework in line with global policy.

Adastra implemented the Ataccama platform to serve as a central data governance, catalog, and quality monitoring solution. They started with the customer and product domains, defining business glossaries, data owners, and quality rules. The solution featured automated issue detection and an integration with ServiceNow for ticketing. The resulting multi-tenant architecture became a blueprint adopted across the Ahold Delhaize group. The impact included automated data quality management, audit readiness, and a solid foundation for AI-driven use cases.
