Sr. Manufacturing Excellence Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Increasing the associates' engagement and communication for 1000+ associates!" May 24, 2022 5.0 We had a big issue with communication this factory where it is 24/7 with 1000+ associates. Thanks to Redzone, it is much easier to communicate major/minor news/issues across the factory. It also gives voices to the operators to notify issues and also take actions real time to resolve it! Pros I like how easy it is to understand/relate issues that is happening on the shopfloor. This helps to provide voices to associates to be able to take actions real time. It is also very to see who is winning and losing at any given time where people work harder to get recognition by winning. Cons Initial set up of getting infrastructure was little bit challenging with the long lead time of the TVs and iPads and installations. Review Source PP Paul P. Operations Manager Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Redzone is Great for Production" January 16, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Redzone has been Great! It increases our production value process. The Platform is versatile to our needs and has improved our production effectiveness and reporting. The representatives are very knowledgeable, teach well, and have a presence to respond quickly when not on site. I was impressed with their customer service. Pros What I enjoyed most was that Redzone is very user friendly and can be used for advanced analytics, team collaboration, and report management. This is very beneficial in new employees, learning their position, all the way to senior leaders looking for trends. Cons What I liked least about Redzone was not having a detailed lesson plan to be trained on. The representatives were great and know the platform, inside and out, but the training was all hands on and per user. I would have liked a classroom setting first and then hands on. Review Source PB Preston B. Assistant plant manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Deforest Redzone " May 23, 2025 5.0 This experience has been way above expectations. We have had \[sensitive content hidden\] on site rolling out all 3 Redzone modules, and has been by our side every step of the way. Available for any questions when he is not on site, and VERY good at working the floor level employees. Pros I love the engagement on the floor, and the passion that has developed from the operators with their performance. Cons I have truly enjoyed everything about Redzone so far. The experience of rolling out Redzone, the easy use, and the data that comes out is phenomenal. Review Source FB FAIZUL B. SENIOR SHIFT MILLER Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Real-Time OEE Tracking Transformed Our Efficiency, GO REDZONE!" December 15, 2025 5.0 With Redzone, we can easily access historical data, which allows us to track and review the performance of each production batch and every specific SKU. This means I can make the right adjustments when producing certain products, especially when additional manpower is needed. Redzone is also a great help because it lets us communicate within our work environment, making it simple to share pictures and videos among team members. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source ML Maxwell L. Quality Supervisor Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Oh Snap Redzone" July 24, 2025 5.0 I have spent a lot of time with Redzone and learning it and making checks for it, and I have spent so much time because I believe that Redzone is capable of enhancing our business. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been great helps with expanding our knowledge and providing feedback on how we can utilize Redzone even past where we thought possible. Pros Redzone is extremely helpful with keeping all of our checks organized and easy to access, while also providing more certainty and reliability to what our checks are looking for. Redzone allows me more time to work on other tasks while still being able to stay informed of what is happening in real time. Cons There are some interface or mechanical problems for checks that Redzone does not have that this miss gets felt. I wish that there could be a way to unselect options in an option list when not needed, plus it's hard to believe that Redzone doesn't have a way to include section titles in the reports that it makes. Review Source FA Francisco A. Senior Planner Paper & Forest Products Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " \[sensitive content hidden\] Made Training Fun and Accessible for Everyone!" March 5, 2025 5.0 I just had to take a moment to share how amazing Coach \[sensitive content hidden\] has been during our rollout of Redzone at the Royal Paper 17th location! Honestly, she deserves all the praise. One of the biggest challenges we faced was that many of our associates speak Burmese and Spanish, and I was worried about how that might impact the training. But \[sensitive content hidden\] handled it like a pro! She has a natural gift for teaching and created an environment where everyone felt comfortable, regardless of their language skills. She used simple and clear explanations, along with lots of visuals and hands-on activities, which made a huge difference. I saw team members who were nervous at first gradually become more confident as they learned the new system. \[sensitive content hidden\] never made anyone feel left out; she even set up extra sessions for those who needed a bit more focus and attention. Thanks to her patient and supportive approach, our team can now navigate Redzone with ease, and it’s made our workflow so much smoother. It’s incredible to see how her dedication has transformed our group’s confidence and efficiency. \[sensitive content hidden\], you are truly a rockstar! Thank you for your hard work, enthusiasm, and for believing in us all. If you ever need a recommendation, I’m here to sing your praises! Pros Real-time data, mobile access, user friendly and streamlined efficiency. Cons Dependence on Internet Connectivity and initial learning curve. Review Source TA Tanner A. Process Improvement Leader Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OH Snap Redzone Leader Review" June 10, 2025 5.0 Overall experience has been great. Support is always there from our initial coach, \[sensitive content hidden\] and our sustainment coach, \[sensitive content hidden\]. \[sensitive content hidden\] did a good job providing the base framework to get us started as \[sensitive content hidden\] would come in and provide the extra push for the obsession and provide insight on our way of doing things the Redzone way. Launching items were always limited on time and resources sometimes but having the extra push did help us. Pros The ability to provide insight to from the frontline and to also provide communication back to the front line from anyone in an organization Cons The transparency of what the software and tools require from personnel resource and what they need to do to truly make Redzone work effectively. We found out more as we learned about module implementation and had to adapt vs attempting to be prepared. Review Source vC vina C. SENIOR PRODUCTION ENGINEER Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Real-Time Metrics and Clarity Empower Our Production Team" December 10, 2025 5.0 The Kaizen functions make it easy to collect ideas from all team members. From these ideas, the team can develop actions, and we are able to track all our continuous improvement projects effectively. Pros I can now monitor the production run at any time without needing to call ground staff. The system offers clear metrics and makes it easy for everyone to understand OEE. Now, the team knows what changes they can make to immediately impact the line's OEE. Frontline operators are able to take pictures and highlight any issues, and they can raise actions that are highly visible to everyone. This way, we all stay informed about what is being done to resolve problems. Cons the huddles and routines can seen a disruptive when you are very busy running around but yet its a great medium to exchange information Review Source RL Rachel L. Director of Technical Services Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Everyone get's a voice" July 23, 2025 5.0 Redzone has provided accountability, communication, and engagment across all levels of our organization and our operational efficiencies show that this has positively improved our business. Also-I love \[sensitive content hidden\]. She's the bomb.com Pros Communication for people that normally aren't heard on the floor, or their voice is too quiet-they can be seen and heard. It provides accountability for all to see. Cons You can't copy production checks over to quality checks and vice versa-its a pain to rebuild them when you have the wrong designation. Review Source NFB NOOR FASHADYLA B. ASSISTANT MANAGER, QUALITY ASSURANCE Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Automated Data Capture and Effortless Compliance Tracking" December 10, 2025 5.0 The management team can now instantly view productivity and compliance results, which is a significant improvement compared to the past when many administrative tasks required much more effort and produced less accurate data. Pros Data capture is now automated, allowing us to view trends instantly. Compliance has also improved, making it much easier to track documents and ensure that the necessary checks are completed at the appropriate times. We no longer have to sift through stacks of paper to review and sign off on documents, as everything is now accessible through an iPad. Cons We are still having difficulty configuring triggers so that the correct check automatically appears at the appropriate time. Additionally, during the sign-off process, we can only void checks; we are not able to delete or cancel any records. Review Source WP Walker P. CI Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CI Manager working with Redzone" November 14, 2024 5.0 I feel Redzone was very helpful when I needed assistance. I believe their training program is well thought out and easy to consume. Pros I liked the way Redzone leans toward the process owner for ideas and makes them an equal part of the change process. Cons I did not like the fact we cannot get counts when the internet is not working. Alternatives considered [SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence](https://www.capterra.com/p/92075/SAP-BusinessObjects/) Reason for choosing Redzone Process owner prospective is integrated into the software. Review Source NM Nancy M. Asst. FSQA Manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Food Manufacturers Need Redzone!" June 30, 2022 5.0 Seeing OEE in real time has helped motivate the employees. The ease of traceability was huge especially during our GSFI audit. Pros Going Paperless! The ease of use, the traceability aspects, and the functionality of Redzone has been a huge benefit to our company for both quality and production improvements! Cons Certain features we would like to see, such as sell by date calculations per item or GSFI audit scheme templates would be great improves to one day see on Redzone. Alternatives considered [SafetyChain](https://www.capterra.com/p/208610/SafetyChain/) Reason for choosing Redzone Redzone is a great balance between production monitoring and quality management. The other companies offered options for one or the other, not a great balance between the two. Review Source JA Juan A. Production Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool" April 11, 2025 4.0 Pros Great tool. Coach \[sensitive content hidden\] is amazing, really engaged and ensured topics were understood though training, very approachable made it easy for us to ask questions if we didn't understand. Cons Redzone web-admin has some bugs to work out. would like a feature to see comments made in chats or forums by date instead of having to endlessly scroll to find a particular day's notes. Review Source SB Scott B. C.I Manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Guenther Europe" March 5, 2025 4.0 Overall my experience with QAD Redzone has been very good. Lot's learnt so far, 6 sites launched in 6 months and so much more to lean over the next 6. Pros I like the access to higher ups that it gives operators, the communication tools really help to paint a picture the what's right/wrong and why. Having the ability to do this and take experiences from employees at all levels is the best the best problem solving tool. Cons It can be quite clunky. You have your tablet, webadmin, analytics and RZ logger, sometime it feels like your juggling between ipads and desktops. The RZ launch teams appear to have more work then they can handle. This can, and does come across like some of them really don't have the time for you. This being said there are moments when the teams can't do enough for you. Review Source CB Claudia B. Process Engineer Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great experience implementing Redzone" March 5, 2025 5.0 We had \[sensitive content hidden\] as coaches, both with highly knowledgeable and great communicators. They took the time to understand our needs and worked seamlessly with our team to implement solutions Their guidance was invaluable Pros It is helpful and easy to use tool, very graphic so easy to understand and explain to operators. Cons Just little difficult to run reports, not a big deal Review Source TW Tom W. CEO Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Redzone Transformation of Operation" February 25, 2025 5.0 Transformational Data-driven KPIs we can measure/manage Pros Operations Efficiency Improved Safety Financial Improvement Cons No issues. It created incredible discipline. Review Source ES Eric S. FSQA Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Redzone implementation review for Fresh CVenture Foods" September 30, 2024 5.0 Our implementor from Redzone did an amazing job and overcame language barriers. She also really understood our processes which made everything go well. Thank you \[sensitive content hidden\]! Pros It is a great communication tool. I use the "Translate with Google" feature quite a bit. Cons I think we are a difficult area/location to get to and service. There were issues with scheduling in the beginning but it worked out fine. Review Source BR Brian R. Ops Supervisor Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone Unlocking Our Potential" October 29, 2024 5.0 This has been a great experience. \[sensitive content hidden\] Has made this transition AMAZING. Pros Redzone is an effective manufacturing software solution that streamlines production processes and enhances efficiency. Its key features include robust production planning, and comprehensive quality control tools. The user-friendly interface makes it accessible for all staff levels, while strong reporting capabilities provide valuable insights for decision-making. Cons While Redzone offers a wide range of features and functionality, its complexity can be a bit overwhelming for new users. Review Source TH Tanongsak H. engineering manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "only 1 month of usege and i can't live without it" October 8, 2024 5.0 i now have full visibility of the site wide maintenance task and we just finishing setting up centerline setting for machine changeovers. this function allows us to ensure the correct settings has been applied to each machine and makes changeover more effective. Pros I find Redzone very easy to use. i am the main user of the maintenance module, i use the maintenance dashboard for my daily overview of PM task. i can see what task has been completed and what task requires my attention and i can communicate directly with my team and help them resolve the problems promptly. Cons i find the centerline function very limited it doesn't allow flexibility such as data sheets where i can save the datasheet and resume when i completed my task. Review Source MB Melissa B. Packaging Manager Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The most helpful tool for production. " March 4, 2024 5.0 Overall, this has turned out to be an amazing benefit for our production needs. We have had some amazing coaches teach us through the process. The coaches work one on one and in group settings to help everyone gain a comfort level using the applications. Pros This is very user friendly. Anyone of any job title can use easily. I appreciate the real time data I get now rather than having to wait until the next day. This allows us to be proactive now rather than reactive. Cons There are some functions that need some updating. Some examples. After the approval of any quality check, it will default you back to the beginning of the list rather than move you to the next item to approve. When trying to contact support through the app the response is slow. Some of the set up in the modules took a lot more work than originally understood. Review Source CL Chad L. COO Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Years of Growth" February 9, 2021 5.0 I have done two implementations for two companies, Including one that I now own. The utilization of the daily details, actions, huddles, and data give my teams a head start on CI projects. There is nothing we cannot capture in the RedZone system, including Safety. This is the most versatile and user friendly product on the market that will deliver results if you live by the green mantra. The team was able to grasp more quickly fairly complex concepts of constraints and other continuous tools that gave them ideas on how we make our processes better. The interface is much like many social media platforms they are already use in their personal lives, so the idea of CI was not a scary idea. They become so accustomed to the details that when we had an internal network failure, the team actually complained that they didn't know how they were running and they were pushing IT to get them back online. That is a testimonial to the fact that they see this as an asset to their process. Pros The application of the software is universally simple. My first implementation had most of our operations team members that were English second language, if at all. Even with the communication challenges, the software interface was so intuitive that we never realized any issues from language barriers. It actually was the inverse and acted as a bridge to our team members. The cultural impact, over the years of use, transformed the plant from a reactionary posture to a proactive predictive culture. The team leveraged the knowledge to help move daily improvements at even the smallest increments, since the cumulative was tracked and easy to express how far they moved the needle. The software gave visibility to even the simplest of actions. It also gave credit where credit is due. Departmentally the silos were broken and communications flowed back and forth. Problems could be expressed clearly with photos and videos. The finger pointing ended and real communication was achieved to drive improvements. It also gave a different look and feel for the leadership to see behind the curtain to the relationships between groups. This changed how we fundamentally communications and gave way to better coaching at all levels. Cons If I have any things I like less, it would be two fundamental pieces. First, the IOS only platform is not as good for our PC based business. We can use the data mining tool within the IOS, but it is not as easily translated to our standard platform. Second, The Tableau Software used to data mine on the PC is not user friendly. I have been fortunate to have a dedicated CI person using the tool for 8 -years, but without this person, the data would be harder to extract. The RedZone team is well versed in Tableau, so there is always help, but in a pinch, you may need to tinker for a while to get what you need. Reason for choosing Redzone The cost of implementation for a large process was fractional to other monitoring systems. The details and engagement from the team members set RedZone far and away of all other products on the market. The ease of use did not require a rewiring of all our process inputs, which drove speed to use and cost. I could go on and on about what makes this the right choice. Review Source Response from QAD February 10, 2021 Wow, Chad, what a comprehensive review! I guess as a two-timer with Redzone, you're a great resource for "the reasons this was a good choice." VL Valentino L. Plant Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data-driven improvement " March 7, 2022 5.0 Redzone Compliance provides for more dynamic product safety. Automatically it triggers a control point check. If checks fail or are overlooked, a notification is sent as an alert. Our team is now notified of potential issues as they happen. This has resulted in increased product quality with zero product recalls. Likewise, Redzone software has improved communication and visibility with non-production departments. Our team's communication skills have improved, and we are now able to collaborate on projects. Also, our team's focus can be placed on other areas in production, knowing that Redzone is automatically monitoring and sharing critical data. The kaizen approach used by Redzone has encouraged us to break down silos, improve problem-solving techniques, and reduced labor costs by reducing overtime. Redzone software enabled our company to increase productivity across the board. Everything from improved efficiency to increased uptime. We have seen a boost in all areas of production. With Redzone, our team is more productive, and our output is higher. We have the tools we need to continue producing high-quality products efficiently. We are extremely happy with the results that Redzone has delivered. We would recommend Redzone software to any company looking for an improvement in their production environment. Pros What I like most is the ease of use. It's both intuitive and innovative. There is a shallow learning curve, and most users are up and running in no time at all. Cons Redzone provides plenty of support when generating reports using the Tableau software. However, I prefer self-reliance over a Redzone coach creating or altering our reports. I found a steep learning curve when learning on my own. There are classes available, but that is an additional cost. Review Source KS Katarzyna S. System Administrator Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great journey with Red Zone" March 31, 2023 5.0 Thanks to Red zone my company will be paperless and compliance become very easy to do and time saving. Wayne Niblett- our Red Zone coach was great and he gave us lot of support. I also learned a lot from him and I think as a coach he is amazing. With all the tools we have now, we can improve what we do in the factory and develop Red Zone for our needs. It's just a beginning. Pros Red Zone features are easy to use. The building process was very interesting journey and effects very rewarding. Cons Copy option wasn't available for all the features also poor visibility of what's been build so far (for triggers). Reason for choosing Redzone My company used Red Zone productivity module already and compliance was another step to take. Review Source CH Christian H. Food Safety Coordinator Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A change in ethos and drive to the next level" January 26, 2022 5.0 Very positive experience implementing a system that has become part of daily life. Worth the effort. Pros We have implemented both an OEE and compliance module. This has allowed us to utilise the generated data to form improvement plans and improve productivity, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency. The compliance side has allowed us to create a paperless production record system and automation of check generation. Making the completion of quality/production checks easier. The ability to add verification, images, and automated data reduces the workload and increases the value of the records. Overall the process of setup and implementation has been a positive experience with great support from the RedZone coaches and the wider support team. RedZone also facilitates communication between all levels within the business and tracking actions, which can be seen from operators to management. Definitely would recommend the system to any company wishing to drive OEE and Compliance to the next level. Cons Nothing specifically to dislike about the software system, it is a fantastic tool. Improvement suggestions are relayed and appreciated; however, it does rely on other sites identifying the same in some cases to be implemented. The workload of setting up the system is labourious (but very well supported) but worth it when you get to the end result. Review Source PJ Q. Vice President Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software for a cultural transformation" February 2, 2021 5.0 We set out to gain visibility on that which we thought we saw each day. Before, we reviewed weekly production reports, mainly based on yield and units/labor hour. Issues would take a week or more to be surfaced, and solutions to fix them longer still. Today, we analyze each line in real time at the operator level, and if any metrics are our out of flux, our team can mobilize to fix the issue immediately and change the outcome for the day. This has empowered our teams significantly and unlocked tons of new capacity and lower costs. Pros • impactful and yet light-weight platform that gave us instant visibility of our 11 lines in 3 facilities. • multilanguage support in-app, native • mobile first - made deployment easy • up and running in 2 weeks • enabled a focus on outcomes, rather than activities • improved communication on the floor • uniquely integrated for quality & maintenance as well as OEE Cons Not necessarily a knock on the software, but for our legacy multi-generation family manufacturing business, there was a steep learning curve on some of the technical aspects of on-the-floor data collection. Make sure you have a strong IT infrastructure! I would like to see a special access "admin dashboard" that is in a browser and integrations with digital signage features on the cloud Review Source Response from QAD February 23, 2021 Thanks for the thoughtful 'full house' review, PJ. Your focus on the 'outcomes versus activities' is really insightful.
