What you can automate today

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

Sync weekly retail sales and market share data into SAP cost centers and product hierarchies

Automatically map NielsenIQ category, brand, and SKU performance metrics to SAP material masters and profitability analysis segments. Redbird reconciles product codes, aggregates sales data by business unit, and updates actuals for variance reporting without manual data transformation.

Update SAP demand planning with real-time product velocity and distribution metrics from retail panels

Flow NielsenIQ point-of-sale velocity, out-of-stock rates, and numeric distribution directly into SAP APO or IBP demand signals. Redbird normalizes retailer and geography dimensions to match your SAP master data structure, ensuring forecasts reflect actual shelf performance.

Generate automated P&L variance reports combining SAP actuals with NielsenIQ market context

Build executive dashboards that blend SAP financial performance with NielsenIQ competitive share and category growth data. Redbird pulls cost center actuals, matches them to market measurement periods, and surfaces why revenue missed or beat based on category dynamics.

Alert finance and trade teams when NielsenIQ promotional lift diverges from SAP trade spend forecasts

Monitor promotional effectiveness by comparing NielsenIQ incremental volume and revenue lift against SAP accrued trade funds by customer and campaign. Redbird triggers alerts when ROI falls below thresholds, enabling real-time trade optimization decisions.

Push SAP product launch dates and distribution targets into NielsenIQ tracking for performance measurement

When new products or SKU expansions are created in SAP with planned rollout timelines, automatically configure NielsenIQ measurement parameters and baseline expectations. Redbird ensures market tracking aligns with supply chain and commercial planning milestones in your ERP.

Archive historical NielsenIQ syndicated data alongside SAP financial closes for audit and trend analysis

Preserve point-in-time market snapshots with corresponding SAP period-end financials in a unified data archive. Redbird captures NielsenIQ measurement data at monthly or quarterly close, linking it to SAP controlling area results for longitudinal performance analysis and compliance.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize NielsenIQ 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 NielsenIQ's syndicated measurement schemas and SAP's complex master data hierarchies, bridging the gap between market intelligence and enterprise planning without custom ETL.

AI that maps retail measurement to ERP structures automatically

Redbird's AI reads NielsenIQ product hierarchies, retailer taxonomies, time periods, and UPC-level sales data, then intelligently maps them to SAP material masters, customer hierarchies, cost centers, and profitability segments. It handles mismatched product codes, reconciles calendar vs. fiscal periods, and aggregates category-level insights to the business unit and P&L line items your finance team actually manages. No more manual VLOOKUP spreadsheets or hardcoded transformation scripts that break every data refresh.
