Redzone Reviews & Product Details

Redzone empowers our employees on the floor. It allows them access to multiple lines of communication, which leads to quicker response time when issues or questions arise. Not only does Redzone allow management to set goals and review productivity in real time, it gives operators the real time data and "scoreboard," which results in a more driven and focused workforce. Lastly, the encouragement. In manufacturing, encouragement goes a long way and Redzone allows us to see who is making improvement & who is engaged and staying on track to hit their production goals. We are able to "reward" that effort more visibly plant wide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much I dislike, if anything, about redzone. If I had to pick one thing that has been the most difficult, it is changing how our supervisory and floor EE's approach communicating issues and/or resolving those issues. The huddles & DVS are where this change was required to take place. Voicing those issues amongst their peers, thinking more critically, and being a part of the solution was something new that has taken some support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team and coaches are always available to assist whenever you need support. It truly feels like a community of people working together. The service is very intuitive to use and has helped connect our workforce to everything happening in our facility, allowing us to respond quickly to any issues that arise on the floor.

The amount of information can feel overwhelming at first. However, as time goes on, you and your team will find an approach that suits you best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Redzone is the visibility. Not only is our manager group able to track the performance of our team and impact due to changes and improvements made, but the floor operators feel like their hardwork is showing off. The competition and communication that Redzone has brought to our production floor is unmatched to any previous systems we had in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Redzone are the number of imbedded reports that you have to dig through. It can sometimes feel clunky to search for data or show trends in a meaningful way quickly. While active production runs are visible, the flow can sometimes feel busy. What I like best is that we now have the data, the struggle is around finding it.

Redzone basically helps factories run smoother and faster. My team saw a big jump in productivity —because everyone’s connected, working off real-time data instead of chasing paper. It makes it way easier to spot issues, fix them fast, and keep the line moving. Plus, people actually like using it—it boosts communication, gets everyone more engaged, and helps build a stronger, more efficient shop floor without needing extra hands.

So Far I've bad a really Great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redzone has really changed how my team communicates and gets stuff done. Every morning when I come in, I can see right away what actions, PMs, and work orders got finished while I was gone. My techs add photos and videos to the work orders so it’s super clear what the problem was and what they fixed. They actually like using it because it’s quick and easy. Thanks to how easy the app is to use (just like using a cell phone app) and the coaching program, my techs picked up Redzone super quick.

Accountability’s a lot better now too. I can assign PMs and actions straight to my team, and they get alerts right on their iPads, so nothing slips through the cracks. We can track due dates and progress really easily. My team just updates the work order as they go — from 0 to 100% — when they accept it, order parts, get the parts in, and finish the job. Makes it super easy to see where everything’s at. Our coach showed us how to build all the PMs and triggers, and honestly, the software’s really easy to tweak. Now PMs and Operator Care Checks just pop up when they’re due, so we don’t have to guess what to do next.

One of our favorite things is the Breakdown feature. It’s way better than a radio call or text message because everyone gets the full story. Operators can throw in photos, videos, and explain what went wrong. Nothing gets lost in translation anymore. Once a breakdown’s submitted, all my techs see it right away on their tablets, start coming up with a plan to fix it, and jump into action. Since we started using it, our Mean Time to Repair dropped, and our site’s downtime is down 53%.

The Maintenance Dashboard is another big help. It’s easy to read and lets me see what’s done, what’s pending, and what we still need to hit. I can check it any time and know exactly where the team’s at for the day. Mornings are way smoother now. I don’t have to guess or bug my techs for updates.

Parts Inventory feature is great too. The team can update what they used or restocked right away, and I can see what’s in stock from my desk. Now I don’t have to dig through bins and cabinets in the Parts Room to see if we got something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes having to switch between different tabs in the forums can be a bit clunky. It would be great to have the Maintenance Dashboard show up on the Overview Tab in a forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't identify anything yet. The Compliance tool is a bit more complex than the performance tool, but we're still learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We launched Redzone about a year ago-the same time a became a Maintenance Director. Before we did not have any sort of daily meeting to align priorities, but with Daily Vital Sign, I have been able to connect with the operations team and prioritize actions requested from them.

I was very excited to launch the Reliability module and honestly it did not disappoint. We had to build and train everything from scratch as we had no program before Redzone, and our coach helped walk us through this process step by step. Now we have work orders-parts-and PMs for almost everything we do. It has helped us organize in many ways and has given more ownership to the maintenance techs to take charge of work.

Because Redzone has provided so much to take us to the next level in terms of our maintenance program, it is hard to provide something i dislike. l would say it can be difficult to get every department on the same page in terms of using Redzone successfully, but that has very little to do with the actual software.

I like that there is always a way to make Redzone work for your situation. The coaches have a lot of experience in various industries that allow them to be able to make good suggestions for your firm that are relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be challenging to come up with a way to do something that may be unique to your organization, though most of the time the coaches can find a way to make it work, without drastically changing practices at the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The compliance module is what I like best about Redzone. The live dashboard really impacted our day-to-day approach: now we have visibility live of our defects and opportunities, which before would take us a week to get (when probably maybe too late already).

Nothing comes to mind. It revolutionized our process truly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a quality perspective, it is a huge asset to have my compliance documentation digitized and easy to search during audits. The flags for missed and failed checks, and the automatic triggers for when checks are due, make managing CCPs so much easier than old paper forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be challenging to translate the raw data collected by redzone into trending and reporting for ease of viewing at a high level. We often have to rely on our (wonderful) Redzone coach for support here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
