What you can automate today

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

Sync Planful actuals and forecast versions to Redshift for centralized analytics

Automatically push budget versions, rolling forecasts, and actuals from Planful into structured Redshift tables. Finance and data teams access a single source of truth for planning data without manual CSV exports or nightly batch jobs.

Load ERP actuals from Redshift into Planful for variance analysis

Pull consolidated actuals from your Redshift data warehouse directly into Planful dimensions and cubes. Enable finance teams to run variance reporting against live ERP data without waiting for IT or manual imports.

Archive historical Planful planning cycles to Redshift for compliance and audit

Automatically snapshot completed budget cycles, board-approved forecasts, and planning assumptions to Redshift tables. Maintain unlimited planning history at low storage cost while keeping Planful performant.

Enrich Planful budgets with customer and product metrics from Redshift

Inject operating metrics, customer cohort data, and product performance KPIs from your Redshift warehouse into Planful planning assumptions. Build driver-based models grounded in real operational data, not static spreadsheets.

Generate consolidated board reports combining Planful forecasts and Redshift warehouse data

Merge multi-entity consolidations from Planful with operational datasets in Redshift to produce unified executive reports. Deliver board-ready financials that blend FP&A planning with actual business performance metrics.

Alert finance teams when Redshift actuals diverge from Planful forecast thresholds

Monitor variance between live actuals in Redshift and approved forecast versions in Planful. Automatically notify FP&A managers when revenue, expenses, or key metrics exceed variance thresholds, triggering reforecasting workflows.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Planful and Redshift 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 AI understands both Planful's financial planning structures and Redshift's columnar warehouse schema, so your automations handle dimensional hierarchies, cube structures, and table partitions intelligently.

AI that speaks finance and data warehouse

Redbird automatically maps Planful dimensions, accounts, entities, and versions to Redshift tables and schemas. The platform handles Planful's cube structures, consolidation hierarchies, and planning assumptions alongside Redshift's distribution keys, sort keys, and columnar compression. When actuals update or forecasts lock, Redbird intelligently routes data to the right warehouse tables without custom scripting or fragile field mapping.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Planful and Redshift 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 Planful or Redshift.

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 Planful into Redshift, or from Redshift back into Planful. 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.
