Redzone Reviews & Product Details

The app is intuitive and easy to use. It also provides a high level of visibility to what is going on in my plant in real time. I am able to multi-task and complete other things while still understanding what is going on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside for me is that there is so much you need to learn to really get the most out of the application. It takes more than a few months time to really get up to speed. I am still learning new features even today which is great but challenging when I have so much more to focus on in my role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are a beverage manufacturing facility with about three hundred employees. We started our Redzone about 60 days ago and it has already changed dramatically how we operate day to day. It’s a shock sometimes when you see that initial OEE number, but Redzone has helped us raise that number each day through better communication and reducing downtime. It has completely changed our daily morning meeting structure to keep it clean and impactful, focusing more on the day ahead versus what happened yesterday.

Our coach Zach has from day one demonstrated leadership and clarity that has made this transition easier than any of us here had expected. One thing that our Redzone coach did that stood out right away was he did not just show us how to do use the program; he walked us through it once and made sure we understood it well enough to do it ourselves the next time. That made a significant difference. He was also very consistent about how engagement drives change, helping everyone get involved and encouraging the team to use Redzone to structure all the daily activities.

If I could change one thing, I would like an Android app as many of our employees use Android phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We got the best results by implementing both the Productivity and Learn modules together. This had a major impact on our ability to develop and share videos of our standards and training content on how to use Redzone, so operators had everything they needed and could get up to speed quickly.

I also like the power of huddles. They elevated the voices of our operators and really changed how we prioritize the work we do, or how we course-correct during the shift using our real-time data.

Another powerful feature we use is Activities. We create actions in huddles as well as in the daily meeting, and we’re able to assign them to the right departments and track them for accountability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My factory had no major problems with Redzone, we're pleased with the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone brought my factory into the 21st century. Our data-analysis processes were archaic, and now we have information coming in live from our lines.

I’m working closely on the Compliance Module deployment, and I’ve found it very simple to create quality checks and set up the triggers. I was hesitant at first because my plant has more than 80 checks, but I can’t believe how quickly we were able to create them all.

I also appreciate how straightforward it is to create product parameters. Another big plus with Redzone is the coaching. It has been a key to success at our site, because it helped us match the implementation pace to our operators. Even though we had checks ready, we followed the coaching plan to implement them one at a time and go paperless before launching more checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No downsides of using the Redzone system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone implemented something truly unique within our network: the capability to have automated asset counts and automated problem-code issues (upstream issues or downstream issues). This makes our downtime data much more precise, since operators only code downtime for their specific equipment.

This capability has made our OEE calculation more accurate, and now we can identify our main issues with real precision. Redzone analytics is also on its way to integrate with our Powerbi system, which will allow us to seamlessly keep all our analytics live. Before Redzone, we literally had operations populating a board, which then had to be transcribed into an Excel file and incorporated into Powerbi.

We have a diverse workforce, and Redzone being available in multiple languages was super impactful for us. The main dashboard and other visual tools are very effective as well, and they’ve made our operators more engaged by creating a sense of ownership for line performance that was hidden before. The TV screens are well designed and have stimulated healthy competition between our lines to see who gets top 1 on the shift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No major issues during implementation in our site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone has been a complete game changer for our operation. What truly sets it apart is how quickly it transforms culture on the floor—not just performance metrics. The platform is intuitive, engaging, and incredibly effective at empowering operators to take ownership of productivity, downtime, and continuous improvement in real time. Within weeks, we saw a level of engagement and visibility that would have taken months (if not years) with traditional systems.

A huge part of our success came down to the coaching—and Caroline B. stands out as one of the best in the business. Her ability to connect with teams at every level is exceptional. She doesn’t just “teach the tool”; she brings energy, clarity, and purpose to the entire journey. Caroline B. has a unique talent for making complex concepts feel simple and actionable, while also holding the team accountable in a positive and motivating way.

Redzone has been great so far, we didn't have any significant issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We opened a brand-new manufacturing site and started using Redzone from day one. That allowed us to capture historical data from the beginning and track progress live.

Redzone is very easy to use, and it’s genuinely rewarding to have a tool that supports the plant-floor team when they need it most. We’re seeing the impact of using data to drive decision-making in our huddles, and it has improved communication across shifts.

The best thing about Redzone is the coaching. Caroline was patient with training the team and making sure we got the most out of the tool. We rolled out the compliance module, and it has helped our team become more disciplined about completing checks and resolving issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far we Don't have any issues we didn't resolve already Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the minute I got sent the link to explore the software I was hooked. Redzone is the one stop shop for manufacturing, integrating production management, problem solving, maintenance, quality, training, and best of all communication into one tool.

What I really like is that even for the most basic computer user, it's easy to pick up. During my first deployment I vividly remember training one of my old timer supervisors, who barely could use his email. I thought to myself, "he's never going to use this, it's too hard". Fast forward 2 weeks later and he's showing me that he figured out how to look at the performance trend in his department and his top downtime reasons. He wanted me to start a project to help him solve the problem. I was floored. I barely even knew how to find that information myself let alone someone who was likely the least tech savvy in our plant figuring it out on his own - this thing had to be magic. We teamed up and improved that top downtime making them the best performing department in our plant.

As a continuous improvement manager I was immediately more in tune with the problems at my site. I could finally chat with all those 3rd shift operators that I rarely saw, read the notes from all the huddles the day before to see what issues were happening, and monitor our quality checks to ensure they were trending the in right direction. Having so much more useful data at my fingertips is a gamechanger. In-app data can get you far but if you learn how to use Tableau (which you get licenses included with your redzone subscription) the opportunity is endless.

And then there are the Redzone coaches. I could go on and on about how fantastic they are but specifically Derrick Griffin has helped me see what great could look like. He lives and breathes "Empower the frontline to improve the bottom line" connecting with operators - even if they don't speak the same language. He's worked with all parts of our team and is an influential voice to help integrate the continuous improvement mindset into the culture of our company. He encourages me to not give up when deployments get hard and gives me new angles to attack changing people's behaviors. I know I'm a better CI professional and without a doubt Redzone super user after his coaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There honestly isn't much to dislike, but coming into a legacy Redzone company - with many admins before me - it was hard to sort through their customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like being able to pull up the dashboard and see how efficiently we've run throughout the day. It's great to see things in real-time, which helps me make better decisions faster. I've really enjoyed getting rid of old paper checks and doing them in QAD Redzone because those checks are available in the same place as all the productivity information. We've also created some operator care checks that we didn't have documentation for before, which helps me hold everyone accountable to the tasks that make a difference to production. On top of all that, the software comes with coaching, and our Coach, Aaron Jackson, has coached us in a way that makes sense and it is very easy to learn. It feels like he puts himself in our shoes and really tries to understand things from our perspective, which makes the tool feel customized to our process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On days where there are a lot of changeovers, QAD Redzone can feel like a lot to do, and if you forget to put something in, you can't always go back and fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like QAD Redzone for its real-time data collecting and the effective communication it facilitates from the bottom to the top. Before QAD Redzone, we didn't have any kind of data collection—it was all manual. Now, it's possible to pull uptime and downtime data. I'm also looking forward to using the compliance module for digitized documentation in the future. The ease of setting up the system is pretty easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the beginning of the project, the plant team wasn't included in the planning phases, so it was pretty surprising in terms of the scope of work that was needed from the plant team. The majority of this was decided by our corporate team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
