Quality Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "RedZone Review" March 1, 2022 4.0 Pros I liked that the software was focused around making everything easier for the operators. It was nice to have a coach on site during the launch, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] was a great coach. Cons The back side of setting the compliance check scheduling triggers (specifically for cleaning) is frustrating and hard to figure out when you have a complex product matrix.

Production team leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone making my life easier as production line team leader" May 23, 2024 5.0 Redzone is making downtime entery very easy, before we were struggling to remember specifics downtime, start and end times and also the reasons. Redzone has simplified the process, we just needed to select the downtime from the drop-down menu. Pros We save time when using Redzone, it's easier to record downtime. I can sent pictures and videos to my team and problems get resolved quicker using Redzone I don't need to stay on line I can be elsewhere and still able to monitor my own line performance. Cons In our production, there is no line cleaning time, the system expects us to immediately finish production. We should allow some downtime as line cleaning to be entered before our break.

Team leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone is very easy to use and it shares information with all workforce" May 23, 2024 5.0 Redzone helped us to see where we are loosing time on which part of the line, we can then directly make decisions to improve. Pros I can see more information of our production lines. Which line has most downtime and which are the top downtime issues. All the information is easily accessible. It's also easy to enter the downtime Cons The count of the products should be more accurate. Sometimes on some of the lines the data isn't very reliable. Review Source MR Monica R. Production Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tool to empower employees and unlock potential" June 9, 2022 5.0 The best software I have ever worked with, very efficient and easy to understand. Our colleagues from the frontline are more engaged and focused on improvement Pros How easy is to use and implement, also how efficient and quick to see results Cons I can’t really find any negatives through 2 emplamantions Reason for choosing QAD Redzone Used Redzone in my previous employment, and I knew the benefits of introducing the same at Goldline feeds. Review Source AA Aurora A. QA manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "On our way to paperless" December 7, 2023 5.0 \[sensitive content hidden\] was very helpful and made sure we were all comfortable learning. He always made sure all of our questions were answered. Pros Redzone helping us go paperless is going to save us time and help us keep track of what's on the floor real time. Cons There’s a lot to learn and I feel more training with \[sensitive content hidden\] would have helped. Review Source BL Bill L. VP Operations Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Are you ready to listen to your employees on the production floor?" April 14, 2021 5.0 Employees are driven everyday to win by the instant feedback this software gives them and it gives them a voice by offering them an opportunity to input comments and suggestions. Our production floor employees are truly driving the direction of management when it comes to the day-to-day operations. If you like the process of taking old data then going back to the floor and asking employees to remember what happened on a specific day/incident so you can manage the improvements, you will not like this software. Pros It allows our production floor employees to see how they are performing in real time so they can fix what they know how to fix and communicate to management when they don't. This software will replace and enhance many of the Lean tools you are using in your facility. Cons There is really nothing not to like about it. Reason for choosing QAD Redzone We were very concerned about the support from Aptean given we were already using them for other products/services. We are glad we made the choice to go with RedZone - the support has been top notch. Review Source Response from QAD April 15, 2021 Thank your for the "full house" review and for your continued support of the solution. You are clearly tapping into the future of manufacturing by empowering your frontline workers. They know what works, just ask them--and listen! JD Jeff D. Sr. Project Engineer Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PCB implemetation" February 3, 2021 5.0 The RedZone implementation team was qualified and very supportive. The system provides all the tools to facilitate and drive improvement. driving and sustaining behavior changes has been and will continue to be our focus across the enterprise. Pros The software is much more the performance measurement and tracking system. I also provided transparency and accessibility to our Management Operating System (MOS), action to address performance, and bottom to top communication. It was very easy to install and require significantly less investment than other systems we considered. Cons For large enterprises with multiple plant, the ability to provide reporting at an enterprise roll-up level falls short of requirements. Reason for choosing QAD Redzone it provided a platform to drove standardization to measurement methodology and enhanced our broader management processes. Review Source Response from QAD February 23, 2021 Thanks for the great review, Jeff, and having spent some time at one of your plants, it was clear how committed your team was to Post's success with the system. LA Liz A. Quality & Compliance Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone for the WIN!" August 26, 2022 5.0 We have moved all of our Quality and Food Safety checks by operators, supervisors, and QA to Redzone. We've eliminated paper, but more importantly we've gained immediate visibility of all of the production lines. We are able to react to problems when they occur and also see trends to prevent problems before they occur. The level of engagement across all departments has improved productivity, quality, and moral in ways we didn't expect. Pros Redzone was able to pull off what no other software has been able to for us; it is flexible but very logical in its setup. The ability to pivot between products and lines on an iPad made it possible for us to go fully paperless in Quality. We were able to create smart checks that can't be pencil whipped and are easy to complete by any level operator. The biggest difference maker was our Coach. His understanding of the big picture as well as creative ways to solve for our unique needs is what made us so successful. The level of support provided by Redzone through implementation is well beyond what I've experienced with any other software implementation. Cons It's not necessarily bad, but it requires a full commitment to make it work. You can't dabble, you need to be all-in. Review Source AF Alexei F. Continuous Improvement Engineer Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great employee engagement tool!" June 29, 2022 5.0 We realized 4.6% uplift in OEE. Our employee morale has been really boosted with Redzone. Downtime accuracy is now in the high 90%. Overall, daily data capture and going paperless with the Compliance module has been outstanding! Several success stories have taken place throughout the implementation. Pros Visual and intuitive layout promotes instant understanding of the Performance metrics and ability to quickly analyze and solve issues. Excellent communication platform empowers employees to break down departmental silos and collaborate on daily problem-solving. Cons Since it purposefully replaces the paper logs, it needs to be more accessible with a search function. Action filters can be rather clunky Review Source CD Christopher D. CI Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sandridge Review" February 9, 2021 4.0 The coaches and the team really care about changing behaviors and culture (particular callouts to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]) and that is commendable. They are always willing to listen on how they can improve the product. We're generally happy with the product, but would prefer it if the system forced employees to perform the correct function. Our employees will miss CCP checks and the system allows for this. We're working through it, but would like more functionality from the system on this. Pros I like the productivity module's focus on visual real-time feedback Cons The SPC module is difficult to use effectively and the Compliance module's inability to enforce checks to be completed has been a concern. Also, the Redzone TV's are constantly updating and not working properly. Not sure if this is a Redzone issue, but it's caused us to minimize the use of the TV's. Review Source Response from QAD February 23, 2021 Thanks for the review Christopher. I'm sorry that you have some issues, but hopefully the 7 out of 10 ranking reflects that the pros outweigh the cons. SW Sean W. Continuous Improvement Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Mid Tier user and admin " February 19, 2023 5.0 Great. The service provided by the reps has been great with moves to satisfy our production schedule along with our desires to train and build the correct cadence in the software. The platform has no large problems and is managing to return everything desired for the most part. The biggest gripe is not having a great solution to the issue of changeovers that will involve starting and stopping of flow. Pros The software gives a great ability to monitor and see where downtime occurs during production but it is limited in usage to how well operators connect to the platform. It is user friendly but does have a system to proper usage along with some limitations of features but overall a great product to capture downtime and as a tool for communication. Cons Like anything that is software the big problems are the points where individual usages wants for particular features or ways to set up parts of how the software works but it is highly restricted in making changes but it does usually have a vision towards making changes to accommodate desired changes. Review Source SK Sanjay K. Vice President Engineering Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Production Efficiency Gains & Improved Communication" February 4, 2021 5.0 Overall we have been satisfied with Redzone Production Systems. We have been pleased with our return in investment, and increased teamwork & communication within our organization to drive for common goal. Pros Improve in Productivity, ease of implementation, use & reporting, with the ability to foster communication among production employees, and with the management team. Cons Overall I do not have anything we did not like about the software. One thing that can be improved is the implementation of software upgrades. It can be done more seamlessly with close coordination between the Redzone team and our internal team. Reason for choosing QAD Redzone Redzone provided a clear path for improved productivity gains, was simple to use where iPad tablet platform provided targeted training and improved user acceptance. Review Source Response from QAD February 5, 2021 Thank you Sanjay for the glowing review! Very pleased that you are pleased with the implementation, productivity and return on investment. tS tuba S. Quality Technical Manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone is one of the best software that i cam across and all food industry should have it" May 15, 2024 5.0 it give the data and we can immediately analyse the problem. it greatly improved the level of communication in our organisation as a whole. we can easily post any messages to the wider team if we have identify any problems in the product. Pros i think Redzone is a cultural change to the factory, it gives a voice to the shopfloor. the data is live and easily accessible, we can quickly responsd to the any situations. the app allows people to share pictures and videos which helps a lot on communication. Cons i still find it a little complicated to use for the admin side. While is good to give voice to everyone, but sometime it can be a little too much information if not managed. Review Source CA Chris A. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Building Momentum" January 15, 2024 5.0 Very positive. Better than previous experience with RZ in 2019. Pros I really appreciated the support from the Redzone Coach to help build the critical mass necessary for full adoption by the site team. It is often hard to get the momentum behind these deployment, and our coach was an expert in encouraging participation from resistant employees. Cons Only available on IOS. Lack of desktop interface. Review Source AA Anthony A. Senior Encapsulation Supervisor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "More than a tool" March 9, 2022 5.0 My experience with Redzone has been based off of individual and company growth. The access to multiple coaches of different backgrounds, who all have different perspectives, has helped me become a better leader. Pros I like that the product is easy to use, and the psychology that is behind the implementation of certain metrics. For example, the maintenance portion of the software teaches all emoyees subconsciously to look out for issues before they occur by having employees use their senses to check machinery. Cons I would have liked the software to be just as easily used on Windows as it is on IOS. Review Source VF Victor F. Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Redzone has transformed out operational culture" February 24, 2022 5.0 We have been able to improve our productivity by over 25% by using Redzone, and have access to rea-time operational data 24/7 Pros Redzone is a blended coaching/software to drive productivity and ways of working, which differentiates them from the competition Cons iOS platform not readily compatible with MS Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lean Facilitator Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Redzone in Pharma - intuitive and powerful!" May 15, 2024 5.0 Very positive. Change is hard at all times, but the intuitiveness of the system and the excellent coaching provided have enabled a quick and seamless transition. Pros Very accessible and intuitive. All of the workforce have responded positively. Cons We are using Power BI for analytics, as the in-house analytics is not configurable enough for our needs yet. Review Source lG lukac G. shift manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool and it provides great factory insights, voice of a shift manager" September 4, 2023 5.0 before redzone, i used to run around the factory and ask each team leaders on their performance and whats the top downtime at the time. now with Redzone, i can have an overview of all my lines and it provides instant feedback from the production lines. i can easily go the worse performing line and give support to the line leaders, and line leaders find it much easier to report the line managers as all the data are available on the ipad. Pros i like redzone becuase you can have an overview of whats happening to my production lines, on the condition that people are trained properly and what they are entering is correct information. if they enter bad quality data then we will be seeing bad quality data and therefore make we can loose track easily.however the system is easy enough to use and we can easily identify where the bad data is and give the right training to the right person. Cons we still need to make sure the line leaders are trained properly on the system and some of our new starter will take extra time to learn the system. The system only support a few language and not all of the languages are supported. Review Source MG Marcin G. Production manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Production Manager " December 15, 2022 5.0 A fantastic system is essential for a company like Am Fresh. From day one of using the system, we already see some improvement in our line in production. Trainees help us to understand all and motivate the staff. Definitely will recommend the system to my friend with running the different businesses3 Pros Tracking the downtime and the shift huddle. We are able to get correct data from the lines and be more proactive to avoid any negative impact on our production Cons Really easy to use and straightforward. All options are easy to use Review Source bK barbara K. Quality Assurance Manager Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quality take on Redzone compliance" May 15, 2024 5.0 now i can see all the paper work that's been done on each production run. the way the datasheet is set up, we can now clearly instruct each operatior what are the next steps if a check is failed. the photos and videos uploads from the front line has helped to prevent any incidents that can impact the business and it gives a voice to the packing floor. they now have a direct link to the management teams for any improvement ideas. Pros i love the visibility of redzone for the whole factory and i really enjoy the communication aspect of Redzone, i now have direct contact with the factory at any time, the level of engagement between department is unseen before. the compliance module has enable full visibility of what checks are being made, if its fail or pass or missed. we can directly make changes Cons there are some limitations when we do compliance module, for example each check must be linked to a production run or we wouldn't be able to sign off. We can only copy data sheets and we can't copy triggers! Review Source BG Beata G. Pm team leader Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Happy leader that's using Redzone everyday!" August 24, 2023 5.0 We are no longer needed to use paper to record downtime, we are saving a lot of paper. we are also no longer required to have face to face meetings with leaders to discuss the root cause of the downtime, i have all the information in front of me and the ipads can take photos and videos which helps a lot when we try to understand the root cause of the problems and past shift issues. Pros All information is available on the ipads and TV displays on the shop floor, it gets updated instantly and everyone can control what they are doing. the app is very good at connecting between departments and from the ground and up. we can sent messages to anyone within the app and issues gets raised easily. Cons the sensors can be very frustrating, when it's showing the wrong information and there is nothing we can do from the production side, we just need to wait for engineer to come on site and in the meanwhile we are stuck with a great system that's no use for us. it's a very big tease.

Inter departmental communication has improved greatly and accountability of actions is available for everyone to see. Pros i think it's real time, live information and very interactive. i can access downtime trend, historical production run data and giving us a chance to make real improvements. Cons at the moment, we can not search the line log which mean we have to scroll through pages of information. we can only view by attachments. i am also not able to upload a pre recorded video, i can only upload a live one.

Pros Redzone helped us becoming paperless, saving cost on paper as well as more accurate and reliable data. we can program the check on our own preference and monitor to ensure checks are being done at the right time by the right person. The app also make it very easy to filter and search histroical data, we no longer required much admin work to fill paper data into digital forms. Cons we were not able to copy certain sections of the data sheets. such as triggers and the ability to mass upload option list. we are unable to set up triggers if one location has multiple SKUs running at the same time.
