No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.
Authorize Anaplan and Ariba with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.
Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.
Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.
Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.
Redbird AI understands both Anaplan's multidimensional planning models and Ariba's procurement transaction structures, so your finance and supply chain teams can automate planning workflows without middleware.
Redbird maps Ariba's commodity codes, supplier hierarchies, and cost centers to Anaplan's planning dimensions and driver hierarchies automatically. The platform recognizes when Ariba purchase order line items should update specific Anaplan model cells, accounts for currency conversions, and handles period mapping between systems. No need to flatten data structures or build custom integration layers—Redbird maintains the dimensional integrity both systems require.
