What you can automate today

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

Ingest Circana POS data into Synapse dedicated SQL pools automatically

Schedule automated ingestion of daily or weekly Circana point-of-sale data directly into your Azure Synapse warehouse. Redbird handles schema mapping, incremental loads, and data validation so your analytics teams always work with fresh retail performance data.

Enrich Circana market share data with internal sales and inventory tables

Combine Circana category and competitive data with your own sales, inventory, and pricing tables already in Synapse. Create unified views that compare your performance against market benchmarks without moving data between systems or building complex joins manually.

Trigger promotional analysis workflows when new Circana panel data arrives

Automatically kick off Spark jobs or SQL analytics pipelines in Synapse whenever Circana delivers new consumer panel datasets. Run pre-built promotional effectiveness models and update dashboards without manual intervention.

Export aggregated category insights from Synapse back to Circana data feeds

Push enriched or transformed analytical datasets from your Synapse warehouse back into Circana-compatible formats for distribution to retail partners or collaborative planning workflows. Maintain consistent data definitions across your ecosystem.

Alert category managers when market share shifts detected in Synapse analytics

Run continuous queries on merged Circana and internal data in Synapse, then send alerts when competitive share changes exceed thresholds. Connect insights to Slack, email, or downstream planning tools automatically.

Archive historical Circana datasets in Synapse data lake for long-term trend analysis

Automatically store raw and processed Circana data feeds in your Azure Data Lake integrated with Synapse. Build multi-year category trend views and maintain audit trails without managing separate archival processes.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Azure Synapse and Circana 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 both Azure Synapse's warehouse schemas and Circana's retail data structures—so you can connect POS feeds, panel data, and market share reports to enterprise analytics without custom code.

AI that speaks Synapse SQL and Circana data formats

Redbird's AI recognizes Circana's standard data feeds—point-of-sale hierarchies, UPC-level transactions, household panel schemas, and category definitions—and maps them intelligently to your Synapse dedicated SQL pools or serverless tables. It handles dimension alignment, date standardization, and measure normalization automatically. Whether you're working with Circana's MULO data, quick-serve restaurant panels, or specialty retail feeds, Redbird adapts to your warehouse structure without hardcoded transformations.

faster than building custom Circana-to-Synapse ETL pipelines

No Databricks jobs, SSIS packages, or custom Python scripts to maintain

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Azure Synapse and Circana 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 Azure Synapse or Circana.

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 Azure Synapse into Circana, or from Circana back into Azure Synapse. 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 automations from new Circana data deliveries or completed Synapse analytics jobs—Redbird connects every event across both platforms.
