Connect Kafka and SAP with AI

Stream real-time events directly into SAP workflows and sync enterprise data back to Kafka—without building custom integrations or maintaining fragile API bridges. Redbird AI automates the data mapping, transformation, and orchestration between your event platform and ERP.

What you can automate today

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

Stream production order events from Kafka into SAP manufacturing modules in real-time

Capture manufacturing events, sensor data, and production line status from Kafka topics and automatically create or update production orders in SAP. Redbird maps event payloads to SAP's manufacturing structures, ensuring shop floor data instantly reflects in your ERP without batch delays.

Push SAP financial transactions to Kafka for real-time analytics and downstream processing

Stream GL postings, invoice approvals, and payment events from SAP into Kafka topics as they happen. Enable real-time financial dashboards, fraud detection systems, and downstream applications to consume SAP transactional data without querying the ERP directly.

Sync customer order events from Kafka into SAP sales and distribution workflows

Automatically create sales orders in SAP from e-commerce events, clickstream data, or order management system messages flowing through Kafka. Redbird handles order structure mapping, pricing validation, and inventory checks to keep order-to-cash processes synchronized.

Alert operations teams when Kafka ingests events that require SAP procurement action

Monitor Kafka topics for inventory threshold breaches, supplier notifications, or demand signals that trigger procurement workflows. Redbird automatically creates purchase requisitions or expedites orders in SAP, notifying procurement teams of critical supply chain events.

Archive SAP master data changes to Kafka for audit trails and data lake ingestion

Capture every material master update, vendor record change, and cost center modification in SAP and stream them to Kafka for long-term storage, compliance auditing, and analytics. Maintain a complete change history without burdening SAP's database with historical queries.

Enrich Kafka event streams with SAP reference data for contextualized downstream processing

Pull customer credit status, material specifications, pricing conditions, and organizational hierarchies from SAP to enrich events flowing through Kafka. Redbird joins streaming data with SAP master data in real-time, enabling smarter routing and processing decisions without round-trip API calls.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Kafka and SAP 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 Kafka's event schemas and SAP's complex table structures, automatically mapping between streaming JSON payloads and the deeply nested IDocs, BAPIs, and OData entities that power enterprise workflows.

AI that speaks both event streams and enterprise ERPs

Redbird automatically interprets Kafka message schemas—whether Avro, Protobuf, or JSON—and maps them to SAP's business objects, from sales orders (VBAK/VBAP) to financial documents (BKPF/BSEG) to material masters (MARA/MARC). The AI handles field-level transformations, validates against SAP's strict data models, and manages the complexity of IDoc segments, BAPI parameters, and custom Z-tables. You define business logic; Redbird handles the technical translation between your streaming platform and the world's most complex ERP.

faster than building custom Kafka connectors and SAP middleware

No Java development, no SAP PI/PO configuration, no connector maintenance cycles

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Kafka and SAP 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 Kafka or SAP.

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 Kafka into SAP, or from SAP back into Kafka. 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 workflows from any event in Kafka or transaction in SAP—Redbird monitors both systems and orchestrates the right response.
