What you can automate today

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

Sync daily portfolio valuations and performance metrics into budget actuals

Automatically push portfolio-level NAV, returns, and performance data from Charles River into Planful's actuals tables. Finance teams get real-time investment performance in their forecast models without waiting for month-end extracts.

Flow trading P&L and commission expenses into financial consolidation

Capture realized and unrealized P&L, transaction fees, and commission data from Charles River trades and sync into Planful's entity-level financials. Eliminate manual journal entries and ensure trading costs appear in variance reports immediately.

Build board-ready investment reports combining portfolio analytics and budget context

Merge Charles River portfolio attribution, risk metrics, and holdings data with Planful budget and forecast figures to generate unified investment performance reports. Redbird pulls both datasets, enriches with variance analysis, and outputs formatted reports automatically.

Push budget allocations and investment limits back to Charles River compliance rules

When finance updates portfolio budgets or exposure limits in Planful scenarios, automatically sync those constraints into Charles River as pre-trade compliance thresholds. Keep investment guardrails aligned with approved financial plans.

Alert finance teams when portfolio performance deviates from forecasted returns

Monitor Charles River portfolio returns against Planful forecast assumptions in real time. Trigger alerts to FP&A when performance gaps exceed thresholds, enabling faster reforecasting and strategic adjustments.

Archive trade-level detail and performance history for audit and variance analysis

Automatically export Charles River transaction logs, order history, and portfolio snapshots into Planful's data warehouse or linked storage. Finance maintains full audit trails for variance explanations and regulatory reporting without manual data pulls.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands both Charles River's investment data structures and Planful's planning schemas, so you can automate complex financial workflows without custom code.

AI that maps portfolio analytics to financial planning models

Redbird parses Charles River's portfolio hierarchies, instrument types, performance attribution, and trade-level P&L, then intelligently maps them to Planful's account structures, entity consolidations, and forecast dimensions. The platform handles security master differences, currency conversions, and date alignment automatically. When your planning model changes or new portfolios are added, Redbird adapts the mapping without rebuilding integrations.
