Meet Attributes Builder: Solve Unique Use Cases with Custom Insights
For over three years, Flinks Enrichment has been playing a pivotal role in enabling data-driven decisions for financial services by providing behavioral intelligence drawn from raw transaction data.
Extracting actionable insights relevant to a specific use case can still be challenging for many businesses—preconfigured tools with limited datasets aren’t enough to solve a unique problem. Oftentimes, it requires months to build, test, and identify only one critical data attribute. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Today, Flinks introduces Attributes Builder, an even simpler way to make custom data insights work for you. You can now create your own attributes in minutes within our low-code/no-code Client Dashboard while ensuring a seamless deployment afterward.
Flinks’ Attributes Builder simplifies your custom data creation, improves the breadth and depth of your data sets, and uncovers relevant insights that enhance your decision-making at scale.

Challenges in creating custom data
To stay laser-focused on a specific use case that can have a high impact on your business, the one-size-fits-all reports currently available in the market aren’t comprehensive or actionable enough. For this reason, building new attributes and running new models is essential to unveil relevant insights into your customers and inform your strategy.
However, creating a new data point from scratch can be time-consuming, requiring a whole data science team months to analyze and test data. Implementing them into existing data stacks and business models also takes additional development resources, limiting your business growth.
Flinks’ solution: Attributes Builder
We designed Attributes Builder to take the development weight off your shoulders. It is a powerful yet intuitive tool for Client Dashboard users and allows your team to quickly generate, save, and deploy custom attributes that serve your business the best.
Take a look at how some of our clients leveraged Attributes Builder to maximize the value of their customers’ data insights and be more informed in their decision-making.
