Facing Double 11, DingTalk AI Spreadsheet Supports 10 Million Hot Rows!

On November 5, DingTalk AI Spreadsheet announced that it has become the industry's first intelligent spreadsheet to support up to 10 million hot rows in a single table. It has already been applied by several chain retail and e-commerce brands, including De Xiang Yuan Roast Duck, a well-known traditional dining brand. Facing massive data surges during events like Double Eleven, brands no longer need to manually split data across multiple tables—now all data can truly run on one single sheet!

Technical Breakthrough and Architectural Upgrade

This marks a major technological advancement achieved within just over 100 days since DingTalk officially launched its AI Spreadsheet in July this year. Since the product’s release, the Alibaba Cloud ADB-PG database team has collaborated closely with DingTalk to develop a new integrated storage-and-computing architecture, designed to meet users’ rapidly growing computational demands. This architecture enables DingTalk AI Spreadsheet to handle massive datasets, frequent updates, multi-table associations, and real-time calculations with capabilities including ultra-large-scale storage, AI-powered integrated computing, and powerful parallel processing. Compared to similar products, it offers better cost-effectiveness and practical usability.

Accelerated Real-World Application During Double 11

The real operational needs of e-commerce brands preparing for Double 11 have accelerated the adoption of the million-row-capable DingTalk AI Spreadsheet. This year’s Double 11 is the first in which AI technologies are fully deployed at scale. An Alibaba representative previously stated that this year's Tmall "Double 11" would extensively adopt AI technology to empower merchants, marking the first large-scale application of AI tools. Currently, brands including Semir, Intime Retail, and emerging fashion label Almondrocks are all using DingTalk AI Spreadsheet to prepare for the shopping festival.

Efficiency Revolution at De Xiang Yuan Roast Duck

In actual use at De Xiang Yuan Roast Duck, DingTalk AI Spreadsheet significantly outperforms other data spreadsheet products in computation speed, delivering near-instantaneous responses even under heavy data loads.

As a restaurant chain operating 40 outlets, De Xiang Yuan generates tens of thousands of new dish sales records daily, accumulating hundreds of millions of historical data entries. The company conducts daily deep-dive analyses on dish sales across all stores to understand customer preferences and identify potential issues with menu items. However, traditional spreadsheet tools frequently lagged or failed entirely when handling complex computations, forcing the company to resort to manual data segmentation ("splitting tables"). This approach was not only cumbersome but also increased statistical costs and the risk of errors.

Now, with DingTalk AI Spreadsheet, De Xiang Yuan has achieved unified data management with instantaneous response times. Tasks such as aggregating dish sales across all stores by day, week, or month—which previously took several minutes—are now completed in seconds, with dashboards updating in real time. This improvement allows the company to precisely monitor food quality and store operations, enabling agile optimization.

With real-time updated dish data and dynamic dashboards, headquarters can quickly identify best-selling and underperforming dishes across different locations, optimize menu structures and inventory strategies based on insights, and reduce food waste. At the same time, abnormal fluctuations in sales are detected promptly, allowing teams to trace root causes and implement corrective actions swiftly, ensuring consistent food quality.

"It’s incredibly fast and smooth! We don’t have to manually split tables anymore!" said Yang Chen, the company’s digital transformation lead. He added that DingTalk AI Spreadsheet has shifted business decision-making from "post-event review" to "real-time prediction," reducing management costs while significantly improving store operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

DingTalk AI Spreadsheet is now open for applications supporting up to 10 million hot rows per single table. Enterprises with needs or interest can click "Read More" for consultation.
