What you can automate today

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

Sync purchase orders and invoice data to Azure SQL nightly

Automatically extract PO headers, line items, and invoice records from Ariba and load them into Azure SQL tables. Keep your data warehouse current without manual exports or batch jobs.

Build a consolidated supplier master database in Azure SQL

Pull supplier profiles, contact details, and compliance status from Ariba into normalized Azure SQL tables. Maintain a single source of truth for supplier data across finance and procurement systems.

Archive historical sourcing events and RFx data for compliance

Capture completed RFPs, RFQs, bids, and award decisions from Ariba and store them in Azure SQL for long-term retention. Enable audit trails and historical analysis without Ariba storage costs.

Trigger alerts when high-value POs are created in Ariba

Monitor new purchase orders above threshold amounts and write them to Azure SQL staging tables. Flag exceptions for finance review and update approval workflows in real time.

Enrich Ariba supplier records with data from Azure SQL tables

Push validated tax IDs, bank details, and credit ratings from your Azure SQL master data back into Ariba supplier profiles. Keep procurement teams working with accurate, enriched supplier information.

Automate spend cube updates for category and regional analysis

Extract spend transactions by category, supplier, and region from Ariba and upsert into Azure SQL fact tables. Power BI dashboards refresh automatically with the latest procurement metrics.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Ariba and Azure SQL 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 Ariba's procurement schemas and Azure SQL's relational structures, mapping complex sourcing and contract data into optimized tables without custom code.

AI that maps procurement data to relational schemas automatically

Redbird's AI interprets Ariba's nested procurement objects—PO line items, supplier hierarchies, contract clauses, and spend categories—and generates the right Azure SQL table structures, foreign keys, and indexes. It handles incremental updates, upserts based on transaction IDs, and schema drift when Ariba fields change. No manual mapping, no brittle scripts—just intelligent data pipelines that adapt to both systems.

10×

faster than building custom Ariba-to-Azure SQL ETL pipelines

No SSIS packages, Python scripts, or Azure Data Factory configurations required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Ariba and Azure SQL simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either Ariba or Azure SQL.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from Ariba into Azure SQL, or from Azure SQL back into Ariba. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start workflows from any procurement event in Ariba or any data change in Azure SQL—Redbird handles the rest.
