MLFlow – Tool to Organize ML Workflows

Written by Divya Dalal | Jun 26, 2025 5:41:42 PM

What if you could effortlessly record and visualize multiple ML model results for quick understanding and comparison?

MLFlow

MLFlow, created by Databricks, is an open-source platform for managing the entire ML lifecycle. It is a tool for tracking ML experiments, visualizing results in the form of graphs, making reproducible models, deploying models to production systems quickly, and integrating with popular ML libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras.

Why Choose MLFlow?

  1. Simplified ML Lifecycle Management: Streamline the journey from experimentation to deployment
  2. Collaboration: Bridges business and technical teams for data-driven decisions.
  3. Flexibility: Adaptable to projects of any size, tracking experiments and organizing models effortlessly.

 Components of MLFLow:

  • Experimentation: Use MLFlow to manage and improve machine learning models (organize and refine).
  • Tracking & Comparison: Record and evaluate model performance (log results, compare metrics).
  • Model Registry: Save top-performing models with version control (central storage, track versions).
  • Deployment & Monitoring: Integrate models and monitor their real-time performance (implement and oversee).

How We Made It Work for Our Clients

Goal: Improving Scanning Accuracy in Supply Chain Management (SCM)

  • Problem:
    A client in supply chain management faced issues with missed products during warehouse scanning, leading to various inaccuracies. We developed multiple ML models to solve this. Now, managing and observing the performance of these multiple models all at the same time, was a task. This is where MLFlow came into the picture.
  • The solution:
    At ODA, we leveraged MLFlow to streamline our product image analysis project for our client, where all the created models were logged using MLFlow. This helped us keep track of all the models, select the best performing model and graphically showcase the results of the models to our client in a way that even they could easily interpret the results to further make data-driven decisions.

What sets us apart:

As a company, we had the privilege of leveraging MLFlow for a Fortune 100 client. Here’s how it helped us stand out:

  • Organized Workflows: We centralized all experiments, ensuring no detail was missed—a game-changer for managing complex projects.
  • Quick Iterations: By comparing multiple models and configurations, we rapidly identified the best solutions, cutting down delivery time.
  • Enhanced Client Collaboration: Using MLFlow’s visualizations, we presented detailed insights into model performance, boosting client confidence and satisfaction.
