Data Foundations

AI needs unified data to work

Everyone talks about AI agents, fine-tuning, automation—but they all need data. Models need data to train. Workflows need data to process. Agents need data to decide and act. We unify your siloed data so AI can actually deliver.

Why you need unified data

Every AI initiative depends on data. Without a foundation, you're building on sand.

AI Agents need data to act

Agents make decisions based on what they see—siloed data means blind spots and wrong calls

Models need data to learn

Fine-tuning and training require clean, consistent data—garbage in, garbage out

Workflows need data to process

Automation breaks when data is fragmented across systems that don't talk

Insights need the full picture

Real-time, accurate analytics require unified data—not spreadsheets stitched together

Why Softmax for Data Foundations

We've been unifying data since our days as a Segment partner—before Twilio acquired them. Today we're certified Databricks partners and AWS ML service providers.

Databricks lakehouse experts

Certified partner who can implement the lakehouse architecture to unify your data properly.

As a certified Databricks partner, we implement the lakehouse design pattern that unifies your siloed data—CRM, POS, inventory, marketing, you name it—into a single source of truth your AI systems can actually consume.

AWS data unification too

As an AWS ML service provider, we can build the same unified data layer on AWS services.

Not on Databricks? No problem. As an AWS Machine Learning service provider, we build unified data foundations using AWS services—Glue, Redshift, S3, Lake Formation—whatever fits your stack.

We build AI that consumes this data

We know what AI needs because we build agents and models that use these foundations.

Most data consultants stop at the data layer. We build the AI agents and ML models that consume this data—so we know exactly what clean, unified data needs to look like for AI to work reliably.

What We Build

1

Multi-Source Unification

One place for everything

Unify CRM, POS, inventory, marketing, and other siloed data into a single source of truth.

We consolidate data from all your systems—CRM, POS, inventory management, ads platforms, email lists, and more—into one unified data layer. No more stitching spreadsheets together.

Recent project:

Unified a retailer's CRM, POS, inventory, ads data, and newsletter system into a single foundation for AI agents to consume.

2

Lakehouse Architecture

Databricks or AWS

Implement the lakehouse design pattern on Databricks or build equivalent data layers on AWS.

As certified partners, we implement proper lakehouse architecture—Delta tables, medallion architecture, Unity Catalog—or build the equivalent on AWS with Glue, Redshift, and Lake Formation.

What you get:

A governed, scalable data foundation with lineage tracking and access controls.

3

AI-Ready Data Layer

Built for agents and models

Data foundations designed for AI consumption—not just dashboards and reports.

We design with AI in mind: clean tables, stable schemas, and the context layer your agents need. Because we also build the AI systems that consume this data, we know exactly what they need.

The difference:

Your AI agents can query unified data and make accurate decisions—not guess from fragmented sources.

How we build your foundation

Databricks

Databricks Lakehouse

Certified partner—we implement Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, medallion architecture, and proper governance.

AWS ML Partner

AWS Data Stack

ML service provider—Glue, Redshift, S3, Lake Formation for unified data on AWS.

Funnel.io for Marketing

Quick turnaround on marketing data unification—ads, social, email, analytics all in one place.

AI That Consumes It

We build the agents and models that use this data—so we know exactly what your foundation needs.

References and architecture walkthroughs available on request.

What we ship

Not one-off scripts. Foundations your team can run, monitor, and trust.

Full Lakehouse Build

Architecture, ingestion, transformation, governance—end to end.

or

Targeted Domain Build

Start with one domain or pipeline, then expand incrementally.

Both include:

Databricks architecture Ingestion pipelines Data quality checks Governance + access controls Lineage tracking Observability + alerts Documentation + runbook

How we work

1

Strategy

Choose the first data domain that unlocks value, define success, and map sources and constraints.

2

Build

Ship a working slice quickly, then harden: quality checks, governance, lineage, observability.

3

Launch

Operationalize it: documentation, alerts, and ownership so it stays reliable.
