What you can automate today

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

Automatically ingest NielsenIQ retail sales data into Looker data models

Sync NIQ point-of-sale data, category performance, and distribution metrics directly into your warehouse and refresh LookML explores. Redbird handles schema mapping, dimension alignment, and incremental updates so your Looker dashboards always reflect the latest retail measurement data without manual ETL work.

Enrich Looker sales reports with NielsenIQ market share and velocity metrics

Automatically append NIQ competitive benchmarks, category velocities, and share of shelf data to your internal sales performance reports. Redbird matches product hierarchies and geography dimensions so your teams see complete context in every Looker dashboard without switching between systems.

Generate executive market share reports combining Looker and NIQ datasets

Build automated weekly or monthly reports that blend your internal sales data from Looker with NIQ retail measurement and consumer panel insights. Redbird reconciles discrepancies, normalizes time periods, and formats outputs for distribution to leadership without manual spreadsheet work.

Alert category managers when NielsenIQ data shows distribution gaps or velocity drops

Monitor NIQ retail measurement feeds for threshold breaches in distribution metrics, sales velocities, or promotional effectiveness. Redbird triggers alerts with relevant Looker context so your teams can investigate performance issues immediately with full analytical context.

Push Looker promotional analysis results back to NielsenIQ for validation

Export aggregated promotional lift calculations and pricing elasticity models from Looker explorations to NielsenIQ for data validation or syndicated reporting. Redbird handles data formatting and API authentication so your analytics work integrates seamlessly with NIQ's measurement frameworks.

Automate product hierarchy reconciliation between Looker taxonomies and NIQ categories

Continuously map and sync product classifications, brand hierarchies, and category definitions between your LookML semantic layer and NielsenIQ's retail measurement taxonomy. Redbird uses AI to suggest mappings for new products and maintains consistency as both systems evolve.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Looker 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 both Looker's semantic layer and NielsenIQ's retail measurement schemas, so you can automate complex CPG analytics workflows without custom code.

AI that understands LookML dimensions and NIQ measurement hierarchies

Redbird maps NielsenIQ's product hierarchies, geography dimensions, time periods, and measurement metrics directly to your Looker semantic layer. The platform recognizes NIQ data structures like xAOC categories, outlet types, and panel projections, then aligns them with your LookML explores, dimensions, and measures. When NIQ updates schemas or Looker models change, Redbird adapts automatically. You get consistent metric definitions across retail measurement data and internal analytics without rebuilding integrations.

faster than building custom NIQ data pipelines into Looker

No API wrapper development, ETL scripting, or manual dimension reconciliation between NIQ taxonomies and LookML models

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Looker and NielsenIQ 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 Looker or NielsenIQ.

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 Looker into NielsenIQ, or from NielsenIQ back into Looker. 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 any event in Looker or NielsenIQ—new data refreshes, threshold alerts, report schedules, or measurement updates.
