QAD Redzone Reviews & Product Details

I have found the most helpful things about redzone are all the data that is provided to all levels of the operation. From the plant floor to director level there is clear visibility to how the plant is running. This data can also be sliced and diced to show specific metrics that are needed, and sent out automatically through daily/weekly/monthly emails. We have found that operators buy in has increased tremendously since they can track live time how they are doing, and are immediatly trying to solve any downtime.

The other thing that I like most about Redzone is the support from the team. Our implementation of Redzone was extremely smooth, and Josh our coach has been very supportive along the way. He shows everything Redzone has to offer, and helps personalize the tool to create exctly what our plant was looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am yet to find something that I have disliked about Redzone. There are times, like any new tool, that questions/challenges arise, but the support from our Redzone coach Josh has been tremendous and we have not had to battle these challenges for long without support.

Personally, I love how easy the software is to manage, use, and see visually. This system has helped my current company keep track of compliance and effiency at a much higher rate than before. Everything we need to see to make decsions are available without the hassel of remebering where to find this information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing I dislike about Redzone on the admin level is not being able to specify what location each user can see. Currently, each user will have to create a filter on their account to filter out locations they do not work on or do not need to see. In the future, we plan on using production, pre-weigh, and compounding in the system so being able to filter what location each user can see on the Admin level would be very useful.

Coaching. There are many solutions out there for people communicating internally, or gathering data from equipment, or collaborative problem solving, but Redzone rolls them all into one with the support of Continuous Improvement experts built-in via coaching. Our coaches have been instrumental in accelerating implementation & adoption of Redzone to to see a positive ROI while cheerfully engaging our people for training and collaboration in alignment with our company values. It is very simple to use and visually engaging for our front-line while driving results for the bottom-line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As we learn, evolve, and expand our usage there have been features & functionality "missing" from our perspective but Redzone is ever-evolving with their customers and developing more complex solutions to drive improvement. One initial hurdle was that the system is only available on iOS, which is also evolving in real-time with the recent release of a web-based admin portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Productivity and compliance have completely transformed how I manage the floor. With productivity tools, I can communicate more effectively, track data effortlessly, and implement positive changes that truly improve production. These tools have enabled me to monitor performance in real time, identify trends, and make informed decisions that drive efficiency and quality. I can now stay engaged with every line running, even when I’m not physically present, ensuring consistent support and oversight. This has streamlined our processes and made it easier to adopt and sustain meaningful improvements on the floor.

A key part of my success has been my coach, Rob. His patience, dedication, and drive to help me reach my full potential have been invaluable. When he’s here at CMC, he’s fun to be around and inspires me to stay on top of my huddles. There’s truly no one like him. His energy is unmatched, and his accent is the best! Rob consistently provides insightful advice, encourages innovative thinking, and goes above and beyond to ensure both my growth and the success of CMC. His guidance has made a lasting impact not only on me but on how we approach productivity and continuous improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's called Redzone but we want green bars and stars, not red bars.

I also wish the high fives were bigger on the TV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Frequency of Use, Ease of use, continuos improvements, the number of features for data collection, Ease of Implementation, Ease of Integration, and great Customer Support. Being able to have production and maintenance use the same software for tracking and loss mitigation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not having an all button for all the options. Not having these KPIs for reports or displayed on the production/maintenance screen, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), Planned Maintenance Percentage, and Maintenance Cost as a Percentage of Asset Value.

As a whole, it is awesome to be able to see real time data from the production floor from your phone wherever you may be. I use redzone everyday to help ensure checks are ebing properly completed for each production run. In Redzone, I specifically love the compliance and learning modules.

-The compliance module helped to digitize all of our forms and made it easier to review. We also stopped wasting time trying to track down forms that may have been lost.

-For learning, the skills matrix makes it very easy to determine who is qualified or trained on a specific job within the plant and makes it easy to see when you need it in a hurry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some downsides we have ran into specifically in our plant;

-Skill matrix not sorting by last name and instead sorts by first name and number of skills they are assigned to. It would also be more more convienent to be able to assign a person to a department instead of having to group them in filters.

-We struggled with deciding what triggers to use when scheduling checks in the compliance module as we couldn't find one thing that would 100% work for us so we needed to decide on the best option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone is a great data collection and communication tool that can be used to highlight areas for improvement in production processes in order to increase productivity overall. It enables employees to communicate issues to the entire plant and create actions which can be used for employee accountability. I like the built in Kaizen, where employees can work together to fishbone ideas and work towards a common goal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be difficult to learn for older people who are not as technologically advanced, or don't have any sort of social media. It needs to have a search function within forums/chats to make it easier to recall information within a conversation so you're not scrolling through a ton of text trying to find something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the things I love about Redzone are the commitment to daily discussions while providing a forum for these discussions to not only take place but in essence force action. It is a great tool to make all aspects of your production environment known, but this is of course if used appropriately. I also like the fact that it drives healthy competition within the company to drive improvement. The coaching is a huge part of my great experience with Redzone. I cannot speak enough to how our coach's dedication and effort has help us move the right direction in making RedZone a priority and a part of our culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the items I will say that I do not care for is the specifics around code dates and how they can be verified in RedZone. This is not to say RedZone doesn’t have a function for this, but with the complexity of some of our code dates, I wish it was a little more capable of self-calculating some of our more complex strange code date requirements. Second, the wish would be to have a check conducted each hour on the hour when the line is running, and RedZone does this based on a run time of the equipment.

i enjoy using redzone and i find it very easy and quick to do my daily inspection task. Redzone also makes very easy for me to connect within my department, we can share pictures and videos and messages and all work related messages.

The group setting function makes communications within our work place very well organised and efficient. i can @mention other departments if i need to get my message shared.

i find the quality check dashboard very easy to understand, i can overview all the QA checks done by my team everyday and i can manage by exception and only focus on the warnings or fails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime i think is confusing to understand all the functions within the app. sometime when internet is not stable it affects my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i like redzone becuase i find many different modules that i can explore and play around. the application can translate to many different language this help our staff where english is not their first language.

i used to use paper to fill in our daily checks and when an auditor comes, we need to dig out paper from our archives to fullfill their needs. now with redzone, our check records can be pulled from a easy search.

Redzone auto trigger checks on when it needs to be completed, i dont need to be mindful on forgetting to get a check done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

when we are uploading photos and videos, we can not select multiple items, we can only do it one at a time, this is time consuming. when we are designing the data sheet scheduling triggers, we can only set up one at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
