What you can automate today

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

Sync NielsenIQ retail sales and market share data into Synapse tables

Automatically pull Nielsen product performance, velocity, and distribution metrics into Azure Synapse on a schedule. Redbird maps Nielsen taxonomy to your warehouse schema and handles incremental updates. Keep your analytical warehouse fresh with the latest retail measurement data without manual exports.

Build weekly category share reports from Nielsen data in Synapse

Query Nielsen market share and sales data stored in Synapse, calculate period-over-period changes, and generate category performance summaries. Redbird runs SQL analytics, applies business logic, and outputs formatted reports. Automate the weekly category review deck your team builds manually.

Alert teams when product velocity drops below threshold in Nielsen data

Monitor NielsenIQ velocity metrics stored in Synapse and trigger notifications when SKU movement falls outside expected ranges. Redbird compares current performance against historical baselines and sends alerts with context. Catch distribution or sell-through issues before they impact quarterly targets.

Enrich internal sales data with NielsenIQ market share and category benchmarks

Join your Synapse sales tables with Nielsen category and competitive data to add market context to internal reporting. Redbird handles product matching, date alignment, and geographic mapping between datasets. Surface market share alongside revenue metrics without building complex views.

Push Synapse forecast outputs to Nielsen's platform for scenario planning

Send demand forecasts, promotional plans, or inventory projections from Synapse models back into NielsenIQ tools for collaborative planning. Redbird formats warehouse output to match Nielsen's data requirements and handles API authentication. Close the loop between internal analytics and external market intelligence.

Archive historical NielsenIQ datasets in Synapse data lake storage

Move older Nielsen measurement data from active tables into cost-optimized Azure Data Lake storage while maintaining queryability. Redbird manages partitioning, compression, and retention policies. Keep years of retail history accessible for trend analysis without inflating warehouse costs.

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 NielsenIQ 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 Azure Synapse's distributed SQL architecture and NielsenIQ's retail measurement schemas, so you can automate data flows without writing pipeline code or wrestling with API documentation.

AI that speaks Synapse SQL and Nielsen taxonomies

Redbird maps NielsenIQ's product hierarchies, market definitions, and time periods to your Synapse star schemas and dimension tables automatically. It understands Nielsen's outlet types, measurement periods, and metric definitions — and how to join them with your internal product masters and calendars. The platform handles data type conversions, handles Nielsen's category codes, and manages slowly-changing dimensions without custom mapping tables. Just describe what you need, and Redbird generates the warehouse loads and transforms.
