"Protecting Quality and Preventing Costly Holds with Redzone"
What do you like best about Redzone?

Redzone has been the best tool we’ve used for managing quality checks and compliance on the plant floor. It takes critical checks out of binders and spreadsheets and puts them directly into the daily workflow, making it easy for operators to do the right thing at the right time. Quality checks are standardized, time-stamped, and fully traceable, which has strengthened compliance and audit readiness. More importantly, issues are caught and escalated immediately instead of being discovered after the fact. Redzone has helped create real accountability, reduce variation, and build confidence that standards are being followed every shift, every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redzone?

I really enjoy Redzone. Nothing to highlight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Redzone is the solution that got our operations to improve startup by 20min/day in the power hour"
What do you like best about Redzone?

Redzone made an unbelievable impact on our day-to-day operations. The huddles empowered our operators to use their voices for continuous improvement and to obtain the resources they needed.

I like the best that instead of just a software, we got a powerful change force. Along with the help of our coach, Caroline Brunstein, we got better at our Communication, Conflict resolution and issues-escalation.

Anyone that has doubts about implementing Redzone, know that you will get more than just the financial investment back, you'll get a culture of CI which is truly the x-factor in today's manufacturing world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redzone?

Redzone has exceeded my expectations. Nothing I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Redzone has proved invaluable to the QA Department"
What do you like best about Redzone?

I have been involved with the implementation and use of a system similar to Redzone with a previous company. The Redzone implementation was far better than the other system. The system integrated easily and the coaches knew the product well. Our employees took grasp of Redzone better than I though they would. Working with our compliance coach was a joy. He fit in with our employees and management staff to where we consider him one of. He is part of the family at United Dairy Inc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support and Real-Time Insights Transform Our Operations"
What do you like best about Redzone?

RedZone has opened up the lines of communication between the plant workers, maintenance and our management staff. The high level of professionalism, knowledge and the ongoing support from the RedZone team has minimized any of the doubts we have had with the change to how we've down operations in the past. Having additional information and even seeing the facts / issues we know we had but seeing it in real time has brought issues to light and made us address them in a more urgent manner. We are an older minded plant but the transition into using the technology was accepted due to it being handled and implemented in such away that is was not intimidating to the staff. There are always learning curves and bumps in the road but we feel confident it will be addressed and handled by the RedZone team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redzone?

To be honest it has been a very positive experience and that is greatly contributed to our rep Tom Perkins. He stepped in when we had a passing of the baton in regards to our rep / trainer but he made it to be a smooth transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The problem solving tool we needed for success"
What do you like best about Redzone?

The Redzone Quality Module makes our job very easy. Quality checks are simple to do and hard to skip, and if something’s off we see it right away instead of finding out later. Having the history helps us catch trends and fix problems before they come back. It makes quality part of the job every shift, not just something we talk about.

What do you dislike about Redzone?

Redzone is a great tool, it has been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transparent and Easy to Use, But Web Admin Needs Improvement"
What do you like best about Redzone?

We use QAD Redzone for production and maintenance. I appreciate that it keeps track of our progress on accounts and helps manage maintenance for machines and breakdowns. It provides us with exact outcomes on individual machines and products, which is very useful. Additionally, it allows us to keep inventory on our maintenance and track hours put into a machine. What stands out for me is its transparency; with just one click, I can see almost everything. It's also easy to use, which makes it convenient for our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redzone?

Web Admin is not working quite as well for us. The admin app was actually easier for our team to make adjustments on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Live Metrics and Visual Dashboards That Drive Faster Decisions"
What do you like best about Redzone?

What I find most helpful about Redzone is the ability to track live metrics and make quick decisions. Turning what matters to the company into simple, visual dashboards makes it easier for employees to understand priorities and improves overall productivity.

Redzone’s on-site coaching adds significant value by supporting Kaizen events and reinforcing a culture of continuous improvement. Special thanks to Brenda for her leadership and hands-on support. The overall customer service experience has been excellent across the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redzone?

The least helpful aspect of Redzone is the reporting side of the app. Tableau reports are slow and difficult to understand and manage. While the newer reporting interface is an improvement, there is still room to enhance KPI clarity and flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Real-Time OEE Tracking Transformed Our Efficiency, GO REDZONE!"
What do you like best about Redzone?

Before we had Redzone, we could only track OEE every 24 hours, which meant we couldn't monitor it on a shift-by-shift basis. Now, with Redzone, we are able to view our OEE for each shift. This allows us to keep a closer eye on machine downtime, and our team members can access live data. As a result, they are able to respond to the scores in real time, make necessary adjustments, and work towards improving line efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redzone?

It's important that operators enter accurate data, because if incorrect information is provided, the results will also be unreliable. Additionally, we've noticed that huddles occur a bit too often in the mornings, especially since we already have daily meetings along with our regular huddles.

"Real-Time Data and Insightful Dashboards Drive Performance"
What do you like best about Redzone?

It has real-time data that can drive actions to improve performance

The dashboards are easy to understand and use

Every level of the organization has access to the same data, and this helps with alignment and communication

Our RedZone Coach, Reggie, has been instrumental in the implementation and has helped us learn more about the system capabilities while also identifying opportunities for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Redzone?

The sensors used to track the data are very sensitive to our process and sometimes don't track the data correctly; therefore data is not accurate.

RZ Analytics can't be modified and Tableau is not so easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
