Connect ADP and
Anaplan with AI

Redbird AI syncs payroll actuals, headcount changes, and compensation data from ADP directly into your Anaplan workforce models. Finance and FP&A teams can stop manually exporting CSVs, reconciling employee records, and updating headcount assumptions every planning cycle.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Sync active headcount and departmental org structure into workforce planning models

Automatically flow current employee counts, department assignments, and job levels from ADP into Anaplan's headcount module. Keep workforce planning models aligned with real-time organizational structure without manual employee list exports.

Update actual labor costs and burden rates in financial consolidation models

Push payroll actuals, benefits costs, and employer tax data from ADP into Anaplan's actuals layer each pay period. Finance teams can compare plan vs. actual labor spend without waiting for month-end GL closes or rekeying payroll reports.

Load new hire effective dates and salary data into hiring plan trackers

When new employees are onboarded in ADP, automatically update Anaplan's hiring plan with actual start dates, base salary, and department allocation. Eliminate the lag between HR data entry and finance plan adjustments.

Alert FP&A when terminations require headcount model adjustments

Trigger notifications to planning teams when employee terminations are processed in ADP, including department, role, and effective date. Allows immediate scenario modeling for backfill decisions and budget reallocation before the next forecast cycle.

Enrich ADP employee records with departmental budget allocations from Anaplan

Flow approved headcount budgets and cost center allocations from Anaplan back to ADP custom fields or HR attributes. Enables payroll and HR teams to validate new hires against approved plan and budget ownership without separate spreadsheets.

Generate variance reports comparing ADP actuals to Anaplan workforce forecasts

Automatically build weekly or monthly reports showing headcount variance by department, compensation drift versus plan, and labor cost overruns. Combine live payroll data with forecast assumptions to surface planning gaps without manual reconciliation.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize ADP and Anaplan with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands both ADP's payroll schemas and Anaplan's dimensional planning structures, so you can automate workforce data flows without API documentation or custom scripts.

AI that speaks ADP payroll and Anaplan planning logic

Redbird parses ADP's employee records, pay codes, deduction types, and org hierarchies, then maps them intelligently to Anaplan's list structures, line items, and driver-based models. Whether you're syncing headcount by cost center, rolling up burden rates by business unit, or matching employee attributes to planning dimensions, Redbird handles the transformation layer. No need to build custom API integrations or maintain brittle field mappings—the AI adapts as your org structure and planning models evolve.
