What you can automate today

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

Auto-refresh Tableau dashboards when new NielsenIQ scan data is published

Detect when weekly or monthly retail measurement data arrives in NielsenIQ. Redbird transforms product hierarchies, cleanses channel mappings, and pushes formatted extracts directly to Tableau data sources, triggering dashboard refreshes automatically.

Build dynamic market share dashboards from NielsenIQ category performance data

Pull NielsenIQ market share metrics by category, brand, and time period. Redbird normalizes manufacturer and product hierarchies, calculates share trends, and structures data for Tableau's dimensional model so stakeholders see updated competitive positioning instantly.

Sync promotional effectiveness data from NielsenIQ to Tableau promo tracking views

Extract promotion lift metrics, baseline sales, and incremental volume from NielsenIQ. Redbird maps promotional calendar data to Tableau's date dimensions and product hierarchies, enabling trade marketing teams to visualize ROI by tactic and retailer.

Enrich NielsenIQ retail data with custom business logic before Tableau visualization

Before loading into Tableau, Redbird applies custom calculations to NielsenIQ raw data—retailer groupings, custom channel definitions, or regional rollups. Teams get analysis-ready datasets that match their reporting taxonomy without pre-processing in spreadsheets.

Alert category managers when NielsenIQ velocity metrics drop below Tableau thresholds

Monitor product velocity and distribution metrics flowing from NielsenIQ into Tableau. When dashboards show performance falling below targets, Redbird triggers alerts to category managers with context from both systems—no constant dashboard checking required.

Archive historical NielsenIQ snapshots when Tableau dashboards are published quarterly

When quarterly business review dashboards are published in Tableau, automatically capture point-in-time NielsenIQ datasets used for those reports. Redbird maintains versioned data archives so teams can recreate historical views or audit past performance claims.

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 Tableau 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 NielsenIQ's retail measurement schemas and Tableau's data source requirements, so your CPG analytics pipelines run without constant data engineering.

AI that speaks both NielsenIQ taxonomies and Tableau data structures

Redbird parses NielsenIQ's product hierarchies, outlet classifications, and time period conventions automatically. It maps these to Tableau's dimensional models—resolving attribute mismatches, handling measure aggregations, and structuring extracts for optimal visualization performance. When category definitions change or new retail channels are added, Redbird adapts transformations without manual schema mapping. Your analysts get clean, dashboard-ready datasets instead of wrestling with data prep.
