What you can automate today

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

Auto-update FX rates and commodity assumptions in budget scenarios

Pull live foreign exchange rates and commodity prices from Refinitiv into Planful planning assumptions and driver-based models. Automatically refresh scenario forecasts when market conditions shift, ensuring models reflect current market reality.

Enrich consolidation models with real-time intercompany FX rates

Flow current spot and forward FX rates from Refinitiv into Planful consolidation workflows. Eliminate manual rate table updates and ensure multi-entity consolidations use accurate, timestamped exchange rates for each reporting period.

Generate variance commentary with market context from news and events

When Planful variance analysis flags material deviations, automatically pull relevant market news, economic indicators, and sector performance data from Refinitiv. Enrich board reports with external context explaining variances against plan.

Push approved budget allocations to risk management and trading systems

After budget approval or forecast lock in Planful, automatically sync approved capital allocations, hedging budgets, and investment limits to downstream risk systems via Refinitiv infrastructure. Keep trading desks aligned with corporate plans.

Alert FP&A teams when market moves invalidate planning assumptions

Monitor key market indicators and benchmarks in Refinitiv against assumptions locked in Planful models. Trigger alerts to finance teams when currencies, rates, or commodity prices breach forecast thresholds, prompting scenario refreshes.

Archive final forecasts with market data snapshots for audit trails

When forecasts are finalized in Planful, capture point-in-time market data from Refinitiv used in models. Store complete audit trails linking planning assumptions to actual market conditions at forecast date for compliance and retrospective analysis.

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 Refinitiv 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 Planful's planning hierarchies, driver models, and consolidation structures alongside Refinitiv's market data feeds, instrument identifiers, and time-series formats.

AI that speaks both planning models and market data schemas

Redbird's AI maps Refinitiv RICs, PermIDs, and time-series data structures to Planful dimension members, planning assumptions, and driver tables without custom code. It recognizes currency pairs, equity indices, commodity codes, and economic indicators, then intelligently routes them to the right scenarios, entities, and forecast versions. The platform handles temporal alignment, converting Refinitiv tick data or daily closes to monthly or quarterly planning periods while preserving data lineage.
