What you can automate today

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

Auto-refresh Power BI dashboards when new Circana syndicated data arrives

Trigger dataset refreshes and model updates in Power BI the moment new weekly or monthly Circana data becomes available. Eliminate manual checking for data drops and reduce time-to-insight for category managers and brand teams.

Push Circana market share metrics into executive Power BI scorecards daily

Extract category position, share trends, and competitive benchmarks from Circana and update Power BI semantic models automatically. Keep leadership dashboards current without analyst intervention.

Enrich Circana POS data with internal forecast and inventory tables before loading

Combine Circana retail sales data with internal operational datasets, then push enriched tables to Power BI. Build more complete views of performance without manual joins in Excel or SQL.

Alert revenue teams when Circana promo performance data shows threshold changes

Monitor promotional lift metrics and velocity changes in Circana, then trigger notifications in Teams or email and update Power BI alert dashboards. Surface underperforming campaigns immediately.

Archive historical Circana panel data into data lake and refresh Power BI views

Automatically export aging Circana panel datasets to long-term storage while maintaining refreshed aggregates and trends in Power BI. Keep reports fast and compliant with data retention policies.

Query Power BI usage analytics to identify which Circana datasets teams need most

Pull report view counts and dataset query patterns from Power BI to prioritize which Circana data feeds and categories to automate. Optimize automation roadmap based on actual usage.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Circana and Power BI 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 Circana's syndicated data structures—POS feeds, panel hierarchies, product taxonomies—and how to map them cleanly into Power BI's semantic models and star schemas.

AI that speaks retail data and BI models

Redbird's AI parses Circana's multi-level product hierarchies, geography codes, time period structures, and measure definitions, then intelligently maps them to Power BI dimensions and fact tables. It recognizes UPC mappings, channel segmentations, and market definitions, applying the right grain and relationships automatically. No need to hand-code transformation scripts or maintain brittle ETL pipelines—Redbird adapts as Circana schema updates arrive.

faster than building custom Python scripts and Power BI dataflows for each Circana feed

No manual CSV exports, transformation notebooks, or scheduled refresh debugging

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Circana and Power BI 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 Circana or Power BI.

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 Circana into Power BI, or from Power BI back into Circana. 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 data drops in Circana or report usage events in Power BI—Redbird connects both directions.
