Case Study: Novade achieves 60% lower TCO and scalable AI/ML capabilities with Databricks

Novade - Customer Case Study

Novade, a construction technology company focused on improving safety, efficiency, and productivity, needed stronger analytics and machine learning capabilities to scale its data-driven services. The team turned to Databricks and the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform after struggling with homegrown software and the need for a fully managed solution that could support larger data volumes and better customer reporting.

With Databricks, Novade implemented a unified data architecture using Delta Lake, Databricks SQL, Unity Catalog, and MLflow, enabling secure data sharing, improved collaboration, and easier ML model development. The result was a 60% reduction in total cost of ownership, expanded customer capacity, and promising early ML use cases for predicting incident risk and delivery delays, helping Novade work more productively and deliver safer construction outcomes.
