Pros I like QAD Redzone’s functionality and find it a really good tool for tracking productivity, efficiencies, and downtime. I also find it a great communication tool. Cross-functional team members can enter and view information through forums, messages, pictures, and videos. Cons Sometimes when I pull data, it takes some time to process and pull. It would be beneficial if that process were faster. Review Source R Reviewer FSQA and RD Director Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Third Implementation and Still the Best Choice for FSQA Digitization" September 27, 2026 5.0 At one point I tried other platforms to cut costs. With one of them the implementation was done remotely, which made adoption much harder. With the other, the level of service was questionable at best. Those experiences showed me how much Redzone's hands-on approach and dedicated support matter. I'm now implementing Redzone Compliance for the third time, at my new company, and I'm excited about it. For any food manufacturer that wants to digitize its FSQA program, I highly recommend it. Redzone builds a real culture of efficiency and quality, boosts performance through live, data-driven decisions, and keeps the continuous improvement momentum going. Pros I have used three different platforms to digitize FSQA departments during career, and Redzone is by far the best of them. The platform is intuitive and easy to use, so our team adopted it quickly and got comfortable with it. The in-person implementation made a real difference and it is a Key factor: the Redzone team worked alongside us on-site and made sure everything was set up correctly and that our people felt confident using it from day one. Their customer support has also been consistently responsive and reliable. Cons Honestly, there is very little to criticize. Redzone may not be the lowest cost option on the market. In my experience, though, the quality of the implementation and the ongoing support more than justify the investment. Cheaper alternatives ended up costing more in time and frustration. Review Source R Reviewer Administrative Assistant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Transforming the workplace through engagement and learning" July 20, 2026 5.0 MY Experience with redzone has been both positive and challenging. but it has helped me improve on communication, accountability, and engagement across both our facility. one of my biggest accomplishments has been seeing the culture change that redzone has helped create. it has been rewarding to see employees on the production floor become more engaged, gain more knowledge and take greater ownership of their roles. Pros redzone has been a valuable tool in improving communication, viability, and engagement across our operation. Redzone has helped our team better understand daily performance, track production goals, identify opportunity for improvement and create stronger accountability on the production floor. Cons The biggest challenge with redzone has been ensuring consistent engagement across the team. while the system provides a lot of valuable tools, it requires ongoing training, follow-ups and accountability to make sure employees and leaders are using all the available features effectively. Review Source R Reviewer Technical and Redzone Coordinator Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Redzone review" June 30, 2026 5.0 As automation supports the daily tasks on manufacturing floor, it makes the individual proactive to utilise their mind for better ideas. Pros Fast pace to make changes, ongoing trainings, events, easy access to completed datasheets, authentication feature, all teams can communicate and view actions in one place. more than one way to approach an obstacle. Knowledge depth and detail of the coaches, they encourage individuals to complete tasks rather than doing everything by themselves. Live recognition and encouragement of the staff. Cons Bootcamp needs to be attended before deployment. Human agent support can take longer to respond or be assigned. As a FMCG customer, decisions are made faster therefore actions & support required need to be faster. New feature addition takes long time to be released after request. bugs in sheets, feature can take longer to be resolved Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "We Didn't Just Learn RedZone, We Learned How to Operate Better" June 26, 2026 5.0 e recently worked with \[sensitive content hidden\] for our RedZone implementation, and the experience far exceeded our expectations. \[sensitive content hidden\] training style is thorough and engaging, he took the time to walk through every detail, providing real examples for each topic that made the material easy to understand and apply. What impressed us most is that his coaching went well beyond the software itself. Our employees didn't just learn how to use RedZone; they came away with a deeper understanding of production processes, problem solving, and team communication. You can tell \[sensitive content hidden\] genuinely cares about the success of the teams he works with. He was patient, prepared, and incredibly knowledgeable. We would highly recommend him to any organization going through a RedZone implementation. Pros The quality of training provided during the implementation, not only covered how to use the app but training goes beyond making, my production team has now a better understanding on problem solving and making the production more effective. Cons I am very satisfy with the whole experience, can't think of anything negative to say about the Redzone concept. Review Source AJ Austeja J. Redzone Champion Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Live Data and Huddles That Drive Continuous Improvement and coaches approaches to Training" June 10, 2026 5.0 There’s good engagement from supervisors, and people are able to get involved and have a voice where, perhaps, beforehand they wouldn’t have. Pros The fact that it’s a single-platform tool helps leaders get the right tools to use Redzone effectively. I also like how the huddles drive a change in mindset and encourage a different way of thinking. Because the data is live, we don’t need to report numbers anymore; instead, we focus on continuous improvement. Cons The downside is that the boot camps are scheduled months after implementation. Ideally, this should be changed so they happen before implementation or launch. Review Source R Reviewer Production Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Exceptional Training and Mobile Visibility" April 27, 2026 5.0 Overall, our experience with Redzone has been incredibly positive. A huge part of our success was our trainer, \[sensitive content hidden\] . He did a wonderful job training our team and was always available to answer the specific questions we needed to succeed. Because of that solid foundation, we are finding new and more efficient ways to use the software every single day. Pros Redzone has been a game-changer for our floor connectivity. The strongest feature of the software is the mobile data capability. Being able to access real-time production data and communicate directly from mobile devices ensures our team stays informed without being tethered to a workstation. Additionally, the admin website is exceptionally easy to manage. Navigating the back-end settings and pulling reports is intuitive, making it simple to keep our operations organized. It is a powerful tool for anyone looking to streamline their manufacturing communication and data tracking. Cons While versatile and advanced, the software is not a "one size fits all" solution. It doesn't necessarily fit every type of manufacturing style. However, Redzone continues to upgrade and bring new tools to the platform. Review Source R Reviewer Production manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "RedZone is a great tool for improving efficiencies and communication." April 27, 2026 4.0 Overall, our experience with RedZone has been very positive. From the beginning, our coach, \[sensitive content hidden\] provided us with the tools and guidance needed to succeed. That along with the wealth of knowledge from the RedZone University has created a more efficient and transparent work environment. Pros What I appreciate most is the real-time data, especially how clearly it shows how each line is running at any given moment. That level of transparency makes it much easier to stay on top of performance and quickly spot issues. Tracking downtime, including exactly how long a line is down and the reason behind it is incredibly valuable for identifying patterns and what needs to be focused on for improvement. Another major strength is the ease of communication, particularly between shifts. There is less guesswork and fewer gaps when one team hands off to another, creating a more connected and informed environment where teams can work more efficiently. Cons There is really nothing not to like about redzone. The system provides you with everything you need to create a more efficient work environment. Review Source R Reviewer Asset Reliability Specialist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Redzone is easy to use, and has a high impact across our entire organization" April 24, 2026 5.0 Redzone has been a huge benefit to our organization. It has enabled us to get better data during and after our runs and make quicker, more informed decisions. We have gained tighter control over production quality, improved our communication between departments and across all shifts, and seen Operators develop into Supervisors and beyond, all stemming from the use of Redzone. Pros We have seen improved communication between all departments and at all levels of our organization. Our Redzone coach was invaluable during the initial Productivity module rollout and as we added the Quality and Reliability Modules. Throughout our time with Redzone he has been a great resource any time we need help configuring a data sheet, training operators on the basics of how to use Redzone, walking our middle and upper management team through how to look at the data we are getting from Redzone and make informed decisions, and many other situations. We have eliminated forests of paperwork from our process and made many of our Quality and Operator checks and processes much more efficient. Cons The chat features are fine for Operator level employees but almost all other employees prefer to use Teams. Creating new centerlines and data sheets can be a bit of a slog at times. Review Source RS Rob S. President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "President (Manufacturing)" April 22, 2026 5.0 Very positive in every aspect. While initial roll out can be complicated, Kepware and RedZone are consistently working in our facility. Pros The RedZone community is helpful, engaging, and constantly bettering itself. Not only do they connect customers for great advice, but their team is always engaged in communicating initiatives. Cons I have nothing to complain about. Our implementation went well and I am always able to get online help/coaching when needed.

Sr. Manufacturing Excellence Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Increasing the associates' engagement and communication for 1000+ associates!" May 26, 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 R Reviewer Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Redzone is Great for Production" January 27, 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 Preston B. Assistant plant manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Deforest Redzone " May 27, 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 Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Real-Time OEE Tracking Transformed Our Efficiency, GO REDZONE!" December 16, 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 R Reviewer Quality Supervisor Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Oh Snap Redzone" July 29, 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 R Reviewer SENIOR PRODUCTION ENGINEER Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Real-Time Metrics and Clarity Empower Our Production Team" December 11, 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 R Reviewer ASSISTANT MANAGER, QUALITY ASSURANCE Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Automated Data Capture and Effortless Compliance Tracking" December 11, 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 R Reviewer Senior Planner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### " \[sensitive content hidden\] Made Training Fun and Accessible for Everyone!" May 15, 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!

Review Source R Reviewer Process Improvement Leader Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "OH Snap Redzone Leader Review" June 17, 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 R Reviewer Asst. FSQA Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Food Manufacturers Need Redzone!" July 1, 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. Review Source R Reviewer Continuous Improvement Engineer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Redzone PCB" May 10, 2024 5.0 Very positive. Great training, very visual, does most of what we need it to do. Pros The coach \[sensitive content hidden\] was great. He was very helpful in building things, very flexible with our schedule, connected with the operators very well, and always had a great attitude, even when we kept him until midnight. Cons Some of the data sheets are not super intuitive to use. Wish the timers on compliance checks were more visual, or there was an alert to the operators when they were five/ten minutes from missing a check. Ability to read lot codes for barcode would be useful Review Source R Reviewer Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Winning with Redzone!!" April 21, 2025 5.0 It's been a great deployment and I look forward to our continued success. I don't know how we were living life before Redzone! It has truly been a game changer! Pros Redzone has been a game changer for Royal Paper. We are now able to see our data in real time. We have a multicultural workforce and Redzone has helped with communicating, despite our language barriers. Coach \[sensitive content hidden\] was amazing to work with. She was so patient with myself and the teams, using different training methods to ensure we all understood how to best utilize the application. She made learning fun for all of us! Cons I wish \[sensitive content hidden\] could stay here with us longer! The only con I currently have is the knowledge I have not gained yet. I know will come with more experience using the app and like Coach \[sensitive content hidden\] always says "practicing the obsession."
