The RedZone team has been fully committed to our success here at Diamond Wipes. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Neville K. | Chief Financial Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** QAD Redzone was implemented to capture data and optimize our shop floor. In addition, the way the program is structured, it's meant to complement the modules as they are being implemented. The Kaizen events are also very professionally run and the impacts have been dramatic. Overall, employee morale and engagement has increased on the shop floor and we believe this will continue as we implement further modules of RedZone. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** At this time, we have not noted any downside of utilizing QAD RedZone. The sales team along with support staff and coaching are to be commended as to their partnering with Diamond Wipes. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** We identified some time ago that data that allowed the operators to utilize to improve efficiency was non existant. With RedZone we have been able to give the operators the data that they require to improve their performance and become more valuable to the company. ### 5. 100% satifcation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** scott k. | Production Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Gives live feedback of performace, gives the floor a voice **What do you dislike about Redzone?** We did have some tech issues, but were quickly resoved. No down side with redzone **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Show real time performance and quailty.

Excellent Technology Paired with Great Training & Coaching **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Connor W. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The focus on taking data and getting it to the people who can use it & facilitating team communication and problem solving with the insights is a game changer. Way more impactful than data collection alone. Best part is they teach the team how to leverage the insights and use the tool, installing a whole new culture not just software. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** No web interface - all interaction with the product is through an iPad app or Tableau reporting. Somewhat limiting for data input, admin, etc. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating an engaged shop floor focused on using data to solve the everday challenges of manufacturing. ### 7. The perfect daily operational tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** xiaolong x. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** We like the real-time data so we can quickly resolve any issues. We also appreciate its Chinese language support and dedicated Chinese-speaking coach. He is very professional, has excellent industry knowledge, and is highly supportive throughout the journey. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** As with any new technology, it would take some time for our front-line team to get used to, and it takes strong leadership from our team to enforce and ensure they are accountable for their data integrity. Once they got used to it and it worked like clockwork. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have been using the system for more than one year now, and so far, the comment from the front-line team has been nothing but great feedback. We are no longer required to create downtime logs manually, workers have more time to get on with actual value-added work, and the level of communication within our enterprise has improved. We also love the action tracking function; our team immediately create an action and sends it to the right user, and we can see the feedback on the status of each action. Along with Power BI, we can see our monthly action completion rate and be able to benchmark. Without Redzone, many of our tasks would have been lost or completed without notice. ### 8. Outstanding Support from Redzone Team throughout Implementation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The Redzone team was exceptional from the start. Their kindness and dedication to our success were heartwarming. We felt well-guided and fully supported. They personalized their approach, making the process efficient. Their constant presence and prompt responses were impressive. We already see results after only four months. Highly recommended! Thank you JP and Mathilde! **What do you dislike about Redzone?** We weren't as ready as we should have been when we started so we weren't has efficient in the first weeks. The Redzone team help us make sure we do everything correctly even if we were a little late in schedule. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone is the voice of our operator and floor team. Problems, Ideas, and solution are now coming from everyone in the team and not only supervisor. The communication tools is very helpful in that way! The compliance module is AMAZING. All the quality check in real time help us make sure we catch everything. Finally the productivity module is helping us see what's really happening so we can direct the right action to solve problems, or increase our capacity etc. ### 9. Production Coordinator **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** carson h. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The ability to communicate in one central location while having live data sent to the whole plant. Allows for all of us to be on the same page and move towards one goal at a time. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** The sensors can sometimes be inaccurate so just calibrating these multiple times. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is solving our need for communication and tracking productivity across all of our processes. Finding waste and maxamizing our effeciencies. ### 10. #1 product on the market **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ciprian C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** It provides accurate visibility over the system at your fingertips and offers excellent communication between teams; you do not have to worry about backup as everything is on the cloud and readily available **What do you dislike about Redzone?** I am not sure if dislike is the word, but sure, "fine adjustments" are always welcome, like being able to change the TV format onto the scoreboards or adding multiple inputs to a line to enhance the productivity module. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides visibility over the system gaps and helps close them, understanding where and when corrections are needed to maximize your gain. A better understanding of labor usage ### 11. 21st Century Quality Control/Assurance Program **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Redzone increased our communication between our shifts and made our operators more accountable for the product they were producing. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** I wish it was not just strictly Apple iOS based. If it were not, I'd be able to get it on my phone and PC to allow easier access. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone is allowing us to see, at a glance, what happened during a certain shift. It is also allowing us to go paperless. Apparently, it has increased our efficiency. ### 12. RedZone rollout of Reliability and Learn **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elizabeth B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Compliance module makes quality checks visible to the whole team and give us a record of all checks done. Productivity module gives us clear tracking of our performance on each line hour-by-hour, and the ability to review past data and trends. After 2 years of running with Productivity and Compliance we decided to expand to the Reliability and Learn modules. These give us the much-needed place to have all of our training materials online, in an easily accessible format, for continuous on-the-floor training. This takes us away from sitting in a training room in a group to learn processes, to having all of our experienced people be able to contribute their knowledge in a clear structured way, for everyone to use. It is bringing engagement and learning up to a whole new level! **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Dependant on team selecting correct codes for downtime. No alarms for when a code is not selected, leaving the reason blank. A reminder to fix this within the shift would be really helpful! **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visibility of hour by hour productivity on each of our lines. Ability to capture and record reasons for downtime in real time, a platform and system for having timely, focused meetings to address issues with productivity - how have the last 2 hours been, what will we do to improve? - and for entering actions, escalating these and recording their resolution. RedZone gives us visibility fo our real performance data so we can focus our discussions in facts and data and use that to make measurable progress. The new Learn and Reliability modules are helping us to engage our workforce in training, sharing their expertise and givesus a tool to show them a clear path to skills improvement. Reliability brings our Maintenance team more into the picture and connects the two teams with a communication platform for alerting maintenance to issues and documenting their response. ### 13. Plant Manager **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott D. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** It is most helpful because it is easy to use by anyone at all levels, with easy-to-navigate features and the ability to use the tool to communicate across all levels in the organization. It is also a powerful tool to drive engagement with cross-functional teams and take the appropriate actions to drive results. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** I think leaders can get caught up in the virtual recognition that the toll provides (which no doubt is essential), but it needs to be coupled with in-person recognition from leaders and peer-to-peer, which is even more impactful **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solves clear visibility to performance, provides electronic compliance abilities, and a reliable communication mechanism at all org levels. The business performance has improved with a 38% productivity up-lift ### 14. Director of Engineering **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Its ability to engage all employees and drive a culture of communication and positvity. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Due to the growth of the company there are a lot of new employees. Started with a new coach who wasnt a great fit and left mid way through launch. Luckly our Second coach has been an amazing fit. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Communication especially between shifts. Tracking downtime and giving managers and leads the visibility of who needs help at that moment in time. Providing a structure with huddles for the shop floor to sustain the gains ### 15. The transition has been short but successful **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 01, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** I like that Redzone give you data to better understand the pinchpoints of our production process and better understand where we need to invest resources. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** The implementation is difficult when we have multiple shifts and crew to make sure that everyone is getting the same consistent training. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has helped us solve what machines we need to arrange to have tech's look at that would have meaningful impact to our efficiency and bottom line. ### 16. Impactful platform that has further engage our team from all levels of our organization **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Omar V. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Enhanced communication shows our team they are winning the hour, the shift, the day, and most important it has given our team members at the shop floor a voice! **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Dont really see any downsides and see more of possibilities- only recommendation would be to make it Android/Windows friendly. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Communication gaps, equipment reliability, capacity constraints, improve our technology, and impact the bottom line in optimal performance. ### 17. Brought our PKG Department into the 21st Century **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Redzone has been instrumental in bringing our PKG Department into the digital age. Transitioning our operation to paperless has been spectacular and well-received by the operators. With all the data at our fingertips, we are analyzing and adapting/improving much more quickly than in the past. Our RZ Coaches Brad Kopp and Ryan Sanislo were heavily involved with operator training on the PKG Floor. They were very knowledgeable about taking our idea/requirements and getting them into RZ in the easiest/cleanest possible way. Really can't say enough about how much they taught us so that we could ultimately become self-sufficient. About six months in, there's no turning back. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** No real downsides to note. I would like for the glitch where newly entered comments in forums or elsewhere aren't seen until refreshed. Whereas the Chats and Forums tabs are self-explanatory as to what content drives the red numerical notifications, I cannot figure out the same for the Activities tab. Despite my best efforts, I always have unseen messages, if you will. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone took us paperless and has given us a wealth of data with limitless possibilities. Additionally, the Kaizen tab has been of enormous importance in improving each of our PKG lines. ### 18. OUTSTANDING **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lauren W. | Continuous Improvement Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** It's a struggle to know where to begin with what Nature's Bakery likes best about RedZone. If I boiled it down to three areas it would be 1) Data Visualization 2)Team Engagement 3)Ease of Implementation/Coaching Program. The process to kick off the project was simple and organized and RedZone provided clear direction on what was needed. The plant floor team had no idea prior to RedZone how well they were running minute to minute and now we can drive clear standard work based on facts that they control. The team engagement has grown tremendously since the implementation of the software as they are able to generate ideas themselves and pass them through the forum structure. The highlight of the implementation for myself personally was the weekly steering calls and the Coaching Program. The coaches being on site as the primary resource for helping us train and workout any bugs is huge and isn't like any other business I've seen in industry. Shoutout to Derrick Bookwalkter and Ananda Conlon, they made this a huge success for us. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** -Currently only in Apple products, hopefully more to come from that soon as most of our business is Windows based -Innerconnectivity to ERP system, schedule upload with sFTP is decent but is still manual and outside of normal scheduling process **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** -Real time data visualization- team is reacting much quicker to problems and is owning the process -Paperless quality- Less trees! More organization, saved time ### 19. Company Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Downtime reporting, Compliance, Learning. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** No help desk to call, if there's an issue you just have to send an email and hope someone answers. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Compliance- SQF Audit Improvements, Downtime Data helps to focus on improvements. ### 20. Citrus Systems - Danny Ruelas **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The compliance module helps structure and schedule the day for our quality team, gives us added layers of security on the products we pack, record review is streamlined, and record storage is convenient and detailed (can be hard to navigate without practice). **What do you dislike about Redzone?** The build out of Redzone was very time consuming. The inability for facilities to do mass imports is inconvenient. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Communication through various departments and ability to quantitatively track success/improvement. ### 21. Danny was a great subject matter expert that made the transition to Redzone an Awsome experience. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Orlando C. | Plant Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** What I like best of QAD Redzone is that it bridges the communication gap from the frontline employees to interdepartmental communication. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** I don't have any comments QAD Redzone is great. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Communication Downtime Problem Solving. ### 22. Better Data = Better Decision Making **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brandon B. | Chief Financial Officer & Board Member, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** It's a great software that is easy to use with enough configurations to make it feel customized to your business. Austin was a great coach guiding us through the implementation by helping us solve company-specific problems with the Redzone tool. We purchased Redzone with a compliance-first mindset, and it has met every expectation. The data we have coming out of Redzone is GOLD! **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Redzone needs to develop a sales plan and project management plan for small companies. Redzone as software is a one size fits all tool, but the cost and project management was built for a big company. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Compliance checks for cGMP in addition to productivity insights. I wish it better tracked specific labor assets working on the line to support acurate product costing. ### 23. Product deployment at VITA-PAKT **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roger C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Tracking equipment Down Time and missed availble up time.. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Theres not really anything to dislike, I don't see any downsides at this point **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Red Zone has idenified mutilple problems on tghe production line and it gives me real time visabilty. ### 24. THE Manufacturing Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The best tool for culture, data, and improvement in any production facility **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Takes awhile (if ever) for improvements or feedback considerations to be implemented **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps with data transparency and detail, worker empowerment, and improvement opportunities ### 25. Paperless and KPI trends. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Compliance module and going paper less. Easy to create forms. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Not all the QAD RZ process steps have a procedure to refer to incase you forget how to do a datasheet free of cost* **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its providing us with KPI a system that was never used before and in preparation to our GFSI 3rd party audit itsgiving us an eye opener to how our OEE is running. ### 26. OEE Focused and Staff Approved **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** william v. | VP of Production, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Redzone has become essential at our company and manufacturing facility. It provides us with up-to-the-minute metrics on each production line and allows us to provide timely responses and address issues. Our Redzone coach, Derrick Griffin, was top-shelf and immediately connected with our staff. He assisted us with every phase of Redzone roll-out and implementation. Derrick understood typical manufacturing issues/hurdles well and brought tremendous operations experience to our company. Redzone allows our production team to demonstrate to the company how well our operators and production lines perform. Feeling good about a production run is one thing but having solid data to back it up is another and quite rewarding. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** We enjoy what Redzone brings to our facility. Complete buy-in from the entire company is essential to achieve success. It took some effort to convince our team of the benefits of Redzone and how we would profit from it. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our first Kaizen event was very productive and revealing. Our team focused on equipment changeover and how we could reduce waste and improve the time needed to complete the task. This event reduced change over time, empowered our staff and resulted in standard work instructions for each team member. ### 27. Redzone has bridged the communication gaps. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Redzone has provided operators with a voice. It has created open communication between departments that was not present before implementation. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Operators look at logging downtime as added work. It is difficult to get maintenance to want to use the system. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** We did not have a way to track overall equipment performance in the plant. We also did not have a way to easily communicate between department/shifts. We now get operators to log all the downtime, giving a more accurate picture of our efficiency. We also have a simple communication tool right at everyone's fingers. ### 28. Powerful information system that measures and drives performance. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Real-time data that translates into more timely and effective decision makong for all team members. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** In a multiplant environment, accessing information for each plant requires logging in and out of the system. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's enhancing communication, increasing throughput, calling attention to areas needing improvment. ### 29.

Redzone FTW **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael S. | QA Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Redzone is a strong productivity tool with neat customization features. The visual scoreboard and UI is very intuitive. Some of our operators and QA techs were reluctant to begin using the software. But, the Redzone coaches and support staff helped ease the uptake / adoption of this program. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Redzone is a versatile tool. However, there were a couple of quality data sheets that we initially encountered difficulty adapting to the software. We were able to develop workarounds and use a different WoW (ways of working) in regards to this procedure. We are successfully up and running after working through the initial adoption. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone has enabled us to gain insight into major pain points in our processes, specifically recurring issues. We are leveraging data trending tools and the CI process to focus management attention on reducing these barriers to success. ### 31. Very clever tool. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aaron B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Once you learn how it works, the system will let you record data, trigger responses, and display the results in consistantly. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** My only request is something that it never did. I would like to see some type of receiving and inventory control (basic). **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Gives employees the ability to communicate what is happening on the manufacturing floor as they are occuring. It helps to eliminate paperwork and who gets it. ### 32. Chief Operating Officer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nathan H. | Chief Operating Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The Biggest impact for us was getting front line and mid-level managers/supervisors real-time data, with action forums to brainstorm and communicate throughout the plant. The software and coaching are equally crucial to the Red Zone secret sauce, and Honeyville ingrained our internal communication methods into the Red Zone operating system. It has profoundly impacted our plant's performance and employees' job satisfaction, and the results speak for themselves. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** At first, our IT department didn't appreciate that Red Zone was only on an IOS platform, but now that it has become a part of our culture, they have come to appreciate the benefits of one platform. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having real-time data available any time of the day has had a profound impact on our leaders being able to be connected to the plant without being on-site or constantly on the phone looking for updates. Having real-time data has helped facilitate our goal to improve the work/life balance of our managers and leaders when they are away from the facility. The fantastic coaching has helped Honeyville evolve our thinking and understanding of how we manage the plant; our leaders have a greater understanding of what actions to take and when by utilization of the data. We have also made great use of the internal Chats function. This has become our quick internal communication go-to and allows the plant floor instant access to other plant floor team members, support staff, or leadership, all within the Red Zone App. ### 33. Redzone Productivity and Compliance Modules - 28% Productivity Uplift, and 100% Paperless. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joe Z. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The team's dedication to implementing a user-friendly compliance system has led to remarkable productivity and quality check improvements. Their innovative approach has greatly benefited our daily operations. The training and support provided by the team have been instrumental in ensuring the successful transition to a paperless compliance environment, resulting in considerable time and resource savings. Great job Danny Ruelas! **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Reporting can evolve slowly if you do not already have experience as an organization working in a Tableau reporting environment. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Paperless compliance systems, Dairy food Industry. Drastically improved organization communication and collaboration. Quicker response to mechanical downtime events. ### 34. Very effective productivity software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The tools are very easy to use. Easy to begin and very quickly start seeing results. Our team embraced the technology and associated culture shift very quickly! They enjoy using RedZone because of the real-time feedback and accountability. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** RedZone does require your team to embrace the tools. You must adjust your culture to be successful. But we found the results to be more than worth it! **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone allowed us to track in real-time our productivity, which dramatically improved performance and profitability. It also improved reporting and enabled us to go "paperless". ### 35. My valuable tool. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anthony A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** I believe the best decisions are made when you are well informed. Redzone provides real life data to help keep you informed and also provides access to experts from different backgrounds. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** As of right now there is nothing I do not like about Redzone, however, I would like for Redzone to add a function that helps manage tooling. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone is a tool that allows us to take scientific approach when problem solving, allows us to eliminate tribal knowledge, and helps us to prioritize what problems to work on. ### 36. AMAZING Results!!!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex H. | Senior Director of Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Communication across all departments has improved tremendously. Production, Maintenance, QA and Sanitation have all utilized Redzone chats/forums/huddles/actions to ensure everyone is on the same page. Additionally, Redzone helps knock down the language barrier that is present at our facility--about 95% of our work force is Spanish speaking, and the translate feature enables everyone's voice/ideas to be heard. We really do communicate about the obsession! **What do you dislike about Redzone?** I wish there were a notification system for the activities tab. If the owners of each action could be sent a notification regarding their incoming due date on their actions, I believe most actions would be completed on time. Also, it would be helpful if there were a filter system to eliminate duplicate actions. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before we had Redzone, we talked about Downtime, OEE, and Compliance, but there was no good way of making those things "seem real" for the shop floor. Redzone made DT, OEE, and Compliance real by visualizing them in a fun and effective manner. When our numbers and efficiencies are broadcasted across TVs and Ipads--everyone on the shop floor can see how their line is running. The visualization causes everyone to want to run efficiently. Our numbers have increased exponentially! ### 37. Redzone has given us the visibility to make better choices **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Accountability and visibility are the two most important things that Redzone brought to the business. Missing checks and deadlines is no longer an option! **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Some of the form building is a build clunky, and the reporting tool needs to be able to make spreadsheets. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Real-time visibility, accountability and reporting on meaningful data. ### 38. We had a great implementation experience with the team at Redzone **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jon L. | VP Brewery Operations - West, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** What we've really enjoyed has been the increased communications around our breweries utilizing the tools inside Redzone. Our coaches were very helpful in guiding our team's adaptation to this change in our culture, and happy to say that post-implementation, the increased communications are integral to our breweries success. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** A challenge we will be facing is going to be data extraction. This platform relies heavily on the use of Tableau for reporting purposes, and the team at RZ did a great job providing a number of templates for our use. Although long term, if you don't have a Tableau expert on staff, the customization of reports will be a challenge. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were looking to strengthen our use of continuous improvement tools and the adoption of Redzone has assisted us along this path. ### 39. A must have for food manufacturing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Easily identify reasons for downtime Clear real-time information Fantastic communication tool for the team **What do you dislike about Redzone?** It was more expensive than we expected to buy and wire the sensors, tvs and ipads **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** productivity and uptime improvements employee engagement improvements ### 40. Great Communication Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** One of the things that I personally appreciate about RedZone is the ability of our leads and supervisors to quickly and directly communicate issues to the specific, responsible department. There is no lag. Once a picture or comment is created, the request goes out immediately to the support department to bring a solution to the lines, which minimizes downtime and confusion. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** RedZone has always been very up-front about what its product does and what it was designed to do. When you use the software as it is intended, it performs well. If one attempts to use it to fill other roles, it can be a struggle. With that said, sometimes working with Tableau reporting can be tricky, and it required us to commit time to train others to build reports to get data out of the system. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Two main areas of focus for us are getting as close to paperless as we can while still being able to pass all audits with flying colors. And increasing the speed and quality of communication between departments. We are currently building content for our recently purchased Learn Module and are looking forward to the benefits we can gain from that pillar. ### 41. Powerful tool to help build our businesses efficiency and growth **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason G. | President and CEO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** The communication aspect of the software is by far its greatest attribute. It brings a single focus and goal across the whole plant. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** The price. It was expensive. But we have found that it is worth the cost. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to view real-time OEE and resolve issues on our factory floor in a quicker, more cost-effective way. ### 42. Redzone Launch at Deep Ellum Brewing Company **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carson C. | Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Data collection and increased communication helped us to facilitate faster response times for production down time. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** I do not have anything that I dislike about RZ. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data collection, quality check compliance, and heightened communication. ### 43. RedZone is a powerful tool once stood-up. Front-end launch and configuration is not seamless. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** As an engagement tool, RZ is very powerful. It is a critically valuable repository of operator and machine feedback. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** The customization and data import limitations. Manually needing to push scheduled jobs. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** RZ is helping us to quantify issue/asset impact and make effective plans of action. Long term makes our delegating of high-value resources much more accurate. ### 44. Game Changer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Redzone is a very user-friendly system that often feels like it is built from the end-user back. It has been quickly adopted by most of our organization and has opened communication channels across departments. Redzone is a very flexible system that can adapt to changing environments. The program allows you to customize on many levels; several years in, and we are still finding new ways to utilize Redzone to help make our organization more efficient. The information that Redzone can provide is beneficial for making short- and long-term efficiency improvements. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** The primary drawback is the limitation presented by only being able to utilize iOS (Apple) products to run the software. This creates an added cost and requires multiple devices if the rest of your organization uses Windows-based hardware for other business systems. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone has provided invaluable insight into our day to day operations allowing our organization to react quickly and communicate across multiple departments. We've seen continued efficiency improvements throughout our journey with Redzone. ### 45. great software that helped us make data transparent **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Excellent customer service and language support. The coach in the program is very professional, and coaches are very patient when it comes to training and helping us train the trainers. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Like a new phone, it takes time to set up and get used to; it takes some time to gather all the data if the site is new to this type of technology. We would like to see more language support on their knowledge base website. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visual factory operations can see live data and know their current progress. The forums allow the team to run mini-reviews, taking corrective actions based on good data. The action ownership and escalation process work well with our current practices! ### 46. Redzone Is A Game-Changer! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David M. | Director of Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Redzone has completely changed the way we operate as a company. Empowering the operators and technicians to provide feedback on a live basis has established a new culture of accountability. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** There was nothing about Redzone that I didn't like. The learning curve was quick, the coach was incredibly helpful, and the experience was second-to-none. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone ensures we ship the highest quality product out the door in a timely manner. We can see quality data in real-time and react accordingly, something we didn't have the ability to do before! ### 47. Redzone Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Josh H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Redzone?** It gets the information on the floor so that everyone can see whats happening. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** That you can only access Redzone from an apple device. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** The overall equipment effcieceny out on our production floor. So far we have seen a improvement in it. ### 48. Effective operations tools for continuous improvement and user friendly. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gina M. | Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Redzone keeps key information in front of users and management to promote efficient productivity and continuous improvement. It is also user friendly, which is key for use and productivity. Additionally, during implementation and after, the Redzone Coach and Customer Support Staff provides exceptional training, information and support. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Having to use an outside system like Tableau to generate custom reports. Excel is a widely used software system, it would be great if we could use it instead. **Recommendations to others considering Redzone:** If you are looking for a tool that will help you, your staff and manufacturing company work at an optimal level, reach for Redzone. They have the expertise, the tools and the support you need to meet and exceed your goals. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone helps us understand the efficiency of our operations and make adjustments where they are needed thus improving root cause analysis, problem solving and overall output. More specifically, the Learning Module is a key tool for us to be able to train to SOPs, OJT and support our associates in their daily roles. And Playbook videos allow us to capture the tribal knowledge that could otherwise be lost. ### 49. Helpful tool for communication between operators an Management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Timmy J. | Plant Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** Visibiltiy of tracking processes and projects. Being able to measure how the team is doing, measuring your success, where training is needed, bottlenecks in the process needing to be addressed and being able to form a game for the team to be successful. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** Meetings. Looking at our process and how we operate, I think we struggle at the begining with meetings, huddles and play calls. I think meetings are great, but if the team is not able to see results/success then it becomes meaningless. As an organization we had to make a hard pivot, reduce the number of meetings, give the team more time see results being successful. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Projects and PM's being completed driving force for our increase inproduction output. Teams commuicating and working together. Creating competition between the operators/Shifts -- which shift can bag the most tonnage. ### 50. Revolutionary Tool to Coach and Manage Productivity **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan S. | Vice President Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2022 **What do you like best about Redzone?** I like the easy employee access to report concerns or problems on the production floor. I also like the increase in employee engagement when they understood the data in the aplication. **What do you dislike about Redzone?** I can't think of anything I dislike about my Redzone experience. **What problems is Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?** Redzone is allowing both production employees and leadership to align themselves on the biggest problems to tackle. Because of this, we are seeing a significant increase in many production and financial metrics related to the manufacturing process. ## Redzone Discussions - [Is Redzone a QMS, CMMS, or LMS?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-redzone-a-qms-cmms-or-lms) - 2 comments, 6 upvotes - [What is a Connected Workforce Solution?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-a-connected-workforce-solution) - 1 comment, 5 upvotes - [Is Redzone an MES (Manufacturing Execution System)?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-redzone-an-mes-manufacturing-execution-system) - 1 comment, 5 upvotes - [Why does a factory need Redzone?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/why-does-a-factory-need-redzone) - 1 comment, 4 upvotes - [What is the ROI of Redzone?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-roi-of-redzone) - 1 comment, 4 upvotes - [View Redzone pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/qad-redzone/reviews?page=9§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-14+11%3A35%3A23+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=c07370bb-16f7-4a6f-b23c-052bfd619516&secure%5Btoken%5D=2b3b73d42cf20265b6ab326ccbd0b5c92084ae4f4bbf77baba74be915b2c27a4&format=llm_user) ## Redzone Integrations - [DMSi Agility](https://www.g2.com/products/dmsi-dmsi-agility/reviews) - [Ignite-ETRM](https://www.g2.com/products/ignite-etrm/reviews) - [Infor M3](https://www.g2.com/products/infor-m3/reviews) - [Innova Food Processing](https://www.g2.com/products/marel-innova-food-processing/reviews) - [MaintainX](https://www.g2.com/products/maintainx/reviews) - [Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central/reviews) - [Microsoft Excel](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-excel/reviews) - [Microsoft Power BI](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-microsoft-power-bi/reviews) - [Oracle Database](https://www.g2.com/products/oracle-database/reviews) - [QAD Adaptive ERP](https://www.g2.com/products/qad-adaptive-erp/reviews) - [Sage X3](https://www.g2.com/products/sage-x3/reviews) - [SAP API Hub](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-api-hub/reviews) - [Tableau](https://www.g2.com/products/tableau/reviews) ## Redzone Features **Workflow & Automation** - Safety checks & inspections - Customizable Workflows - Dynamic SOP Promotion - Nonconformance Event Management - Safety & Incident Logging / Compliance Reporting **Nonconformance** - Conformance Records - CAPA - Change Management **Execution** - Planning - Scheduling - Collaboration **Quality system** - Document Control - Collaboration - Analytics and Reports **Analytics & Reporting** - Monitoring - KPIs - Customizable Analytics / BI Integration **Risk Management** - Assessments - Operational Risk - Supplier Evaluation **Enterprise Management** - Cross & Multi‑Site Governance - Site Reporting and Analytics - Cross‑Site Collaboration & Communication - Multi-Device Scalability - Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) **Inspection Management** - Templates - Workflows - Corrective Actions **Knowledge Capture** - Frontline Knowledge Capture & Sharing - Content Versioning & SOP Updates - Embedded Microlearning **Compliance** - Standards & Regulations - Permits - Certifications **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization - AI Image-to-Text **Agentic AI** - Actions & Autonomous Execution - Real‑Time Translation & Transcription - Predictive & Prescriptive AI **Data & Integration** - Open API & Extensibility - ERP / MES / EAM Integration **CMMS Platform Features** - Work Order Management - Preventative Maintenance (PM) - Predictive Maintenance (PdM) - Materials Management - Equipment Breakdown Reports - Approval Management - Task Templates - Compliance Auditing - Vendor Management - Reporting & Dashboards **Platform** - Integration - Security & Privacy - Mobile Access - Flexibility **Services** - Implementation - Training & Learning - Customer Support - Professional Services ## Top Redzone Alternatives - [MaintainX](https://www.g2.com/products/maintainx/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (1,527 reviews) - [Poka.io](https://www.g2.com/products/poka-io/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (223 reviews) - [L2L](https://www.g2.com/products/l2l/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (215 reviews)
