After recovering $8 million monthly with dotData Enterprise, fintech leader graduates to dotData’s risk discovery platform to reduce risk losses
SAN MATEO, Calif. — December 2, 2025 — dotData, the leader in Statistical AI and feature discovery, today announced that sticky.io, the intelligent revenue optimization platform, has upgraded to dotData Feature Factory. The move deepens a six-year strategic partnership and builds on sticky.io’s massive success with dotData’s original platform, which helped them recover $8 million in lost revenue monthly by uncovering critical risk signals.
sticky.io, a long-time dotData customer, had previously used dotData Enterprise, an end-to-end AutoML platform. The platform’s powerful Statistical AI engine proved invaluable, enabling sticky.io to uncover hidden signals in its vast transaction and billing data, dramatically improving its AI-driven dunning and revenue recovery.
The upgrade to Feature Factory was driven by sticky.io’s strategic migration of its data infrastructure from Redshift to Databricks. As the team modernized its stack, it needed a lightweight, highly configurable risk detection solution that integrated seamlessly with the Databricks ecosystem. To address diverse needs spanning both batch and real-time inference, sticky.io chose Feature Factory as the core component of its new, high-performance environment, citing its portability and seamless integration with Databricks.
“Our strategic migration to Databricks was about accelerating development and deployment while reducing costs,” said Justin Shoolery, VP of Data Science at sticky.io. “We needed our data tools to be highly configurable and portable. We already knew dotData’s engine consistently finds signals we can’t find elsewhere. Feature Factory gave us that same powerful engine, that integrates seamlessly into our Databricks environment. The integration is a massive win since we can move our existing pipelines from dev to production with minimal effort, allowing us to validate new hypotheses and discover new risk signals in as little as one or two weeks.”
Key aspects of Feature Factory that attracted sticky.io included its speed, ability to connect multiple datasets, automated data wrangling and preparation, time series capabilities, and reusable asset functions, all of which combined to accelerate the team’s work in discovering crucial risk signals.
The sticky.io journey provides a clear blueprint for other data-driven industries, particularly fintech, lenders, and credit unions, in their quest to uncover hidden risks trapped in their data sources.
“Justin and his team are technical visionaries. They proved the ROI of our engine first, and now they are showing the blueprint for the future: integrating best-in-class components into a modern data stack like Databricks,” said Ryohei Fujimaki, CEO of dotData. “This is the exact challenge fintech companies, lenders, and credit unions face. They are also modernizing their infrastructure and need a proven, flexible, and portable AI engine that can find hidden risk signals,”
