What you can automate today

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

Sync Xero actuals into Anaplan for monthly budget variance analysis

Pull P&L actuals, balance sheet data, and cash flow from Xero into Anaplan on a schedule. Redbird maps Xero accounts to Anaplan dimensions automatically, so your finance team sees plan-versus-actual variance in real time without manual uploads.

Push approved budgets from Anaplan to Xero as tracking categories

When finance locks the annual budget in Anaplan, send department and project budgets to Xero as tracking categories. Teams can see budget versus spend directly in Xero without toggling between systems.

Alert finance when Xero actuals exceed Anaplan forecast thresholds

Monitor expense categories in Xero against Anaplan forecast limits. When spending crosses thresholds—like departmental budgets or project caps—Redbird sends alerts to budget owners with context from both systems.

Generate monthly variance reports combining Anaplan plans and Xero actuals

Build automated variance reports that compare Anaplan forecast models with Xero's actual income and expenses. Redbird pulls data from both systems, calculates variance, and delivers formatted reports to stakeholders on a schedule.

Enrich Xero invoice data with Anaplan customer and territory dimensions

When invoices are created in Xero, enrich them with sales territory, customer segment, and product line data from Anaplan. This enables better revenue reporting aligned to how your finance team models the business.

Sync Xero payroll actuals to Anaplan headcount and compensation models

Pull payroll expense and headcount data from Xero into Anaplan's workforce planning models. Finance teams can compare actual compensation spend against headcount forecasts without waiting for monthly close.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Anaplan and Xero 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 understands how Anaplan models enterprise plans across dimensions and how Xero structures accounting data—so your planning and actuals stay in sync without middleware.

AI that speaks planning models and chart of accounts

Redbird maps Xero's chart of accounts, tracking categories, and invoice line items to Anaplan's multi-dimensional models, versions, and modules. Our AI understands how to translate Xero's account structure into Anaplan's dimension hierarchies—mapping GL accounts to cost centers, departments, and product lines automatically. Whether you're syncing monthly actuals, reconciling cash positions, or comparing forecast scenarios against real transactions, Redbird handles schema translation so your data flows correctly both ways.
