What you can automate today

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

Sync purchase order data to Looker for real-time spend visibility

Automatically push PO line items, approvals, and status changes from Ariba to your data warehouse, making them instantly available in Looker dashboards. No more waiting for monthly extracts or reconciling mismatched totals across systems.

Build supplier performance scorecards with live Ariba contract data

Stream contract compliance metrics, delivery performance, and quality ratings from Ariba into Looker's semantic layer. Enable procurement teams to track supplier KPIs without manual spreadsheet updates or data requests to IT.

Automate spend-by-category analysis with granular procurement classifications

Pull Ariba's commodity codes, cost centers, and GL account mappings into Looker for consistent spend categorization. Redbird maintains the taxonomy relationships so finance teams see accurate category rollups in every report.

Alert procurement when Looker identifies anomalous spending patterns

Trigger notifications in Ariba when Looker detects unusual spend trends, duplicate vendors, or budget threshold breaches. Close the loop between analytics insights and procurement action without constant dashboard monitoring.

Generate executive procurement dashboards from sourcing event outcomes

Sync RFP/RFQ results, bid comparisons, and award decisions from Ariba to Looker for strategic sourcing reports. CFOs and CPOs get live visibility into cost savings, cycle times, and supplier competition metrics.

Archive historical invoice and payment data for long-term trend analysis

Move aged invoice data, payment terms, and discount capture rates from Ariba to your warehouse for multi-year procurement analytics. Keep Looker models comprehensive while maintaining Ariba's operational performance.

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 Looker 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 Ariba's procurement object hierarchies and Looker's LookML semantic layer, so your spend analytics stay accurate as both systems evolve.

AI that speaks procurement data and metric definitions

Redbird maps Ariba's purchase requisitions, POs, invoices, contracts, and supplier master data to Looker dimensions and measures automatically. The platform recognizes commodity hierarchies, approval workflows, and GL account structures, translating them into LookML explores without custom coding. When Ariba classifications change or new spend categories emerge, Redbird updates your Looker model to maintain consistent metric definitions across procurement reporting.
