What do you like best about QAD Redzone?

Saco Foods prides ourselves in the programs we've implemented over the years to help employees feel engated, food safety, food quality and overall systems. My position involves Supplier Approval Programs so I have toured many facilities, and starting seeing Redzone pop up. I was intrigued. In further research I felt it was a great program to implement. We had no idea how great it would be. One of the most meaningful benfits of Redzone is the operator engagement. Putting all savings aside (and we have seen a 54% increase in OEE), our employees feel a part of the program and the company. They take ownership in themselves and in the company. People care and want you to know that, and they want to feel they're a productive part of the process. We cannot say enough good things about Redzone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was very used to and comfortable using my iPad for all of my building and corrections. Having to us my PC and not have complete controls over changes on the floor level is a little challenging.

What do you dislike about QAD Redzone?

One areas that may feel less helpful is that some users, especially those less tech savvy, might find the initial onboarding and learning curve a bit challenging. While Redzone is ultimately user-friendly, it can take time for the teams to get fully confortable navigating the platform, particularly with its more advanced features.

Intergration with other systems- depending on the existing software ecosystem, integration with other platforms might require addtional work or adjustments, which can lead to time spent on aligning different systems for seamless functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QAD Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Redzone, I used to spend a lot of time manually inputting data from sheets of paper into our Excel files. This was a very administrative and time-consuming task.

I can better use my time on other tasks. Redzone has also helped me save time on managing work orders much more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QAD Redzone solving and how is that benefiting you?

before redozne, production team used to call the engineers to attend a breakdown. we would go into any situation without knowing what happened.

Now with Redzone, they can share pictures and videos of the breakdown and we can better prepare our visit and sometime even able to help resolve the problem without attending because of better communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
