No incentive was offered I am a huge RedZone fan! I have the obsession! We can now see our plant floor at anytime of day, from any location. We can interact with the Operators. We can communicate as a team & create actions to drive ROI. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The implementation process was like a crash course in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma. I have become better as a professional because of the tools RedZone has brought to our organization. #### Cons I'd like to have more time to focus on RedZone. I wish it was a larger part of my day, as I learn so much about our organization when I spend time in Redzone or Tableau evaluating data. --- ### Third Implementation and Still the Best Choice for FSQA Digitization - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Gabriela R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### From Meh to Yeah - with room for improvement - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Jessie K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered At the beginning, I was not looking forward to this software. The training and support we received was disjointed and incomplete. While it is impossible to learn all there is about RZ within a couple weeks of training, the training sessions and other interactions were less than pleasant. The way our original training was conducted did not necessarily create the best environment. After our initial rollouts, the continued support was also lacking. However, since Redzone/QAD has restructured and continued developing modules, even with the system hiccups, it has gotten better. Working with a new set of coaches and attending workshops and bootcamps have made a huge difference. Coach [sensitive content hidden] has been absolutely instrumental in helping change our culture. She has successfully been able to get managers, supervisors, operators, and other associates not only involved and using the app regularly, but actively happy to be using it. Her ability to adapt her training style from strict to humorous while continually moving the training forward with honesty (even when there's a glitch) is refreshing and makes the training fast paced and productive. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros - There is a general ease of use for frontline workers and the transparency for associates to communicate with other departments and management. - The Web Admin makes working in the system easier and more efficient. - The Community created with Bootcamps and Workshops. It is incredibly beneficial to work with other companies and see how they utilize the software; they are also a wonderful opportunity to learn about new functions or find new ways to use current functions. - Coaching team of [sensitive content hidden] have been undoubtedly beneficial in our current successful changes. Extremely knowledgeable and what they don't know they work to find out. #### Cons - The number of glitches through software updates - every time a new update is rolled out it causes issues in other areas. - Whenever support uploads either a new or updated characteristic to our items, other characteristics end up changed causing checks to fail that were fine before an update. This had caused us to choose to spend the time changing characteristics item by individual item instead of the mass upload. - Whenever we enable a new module, it causes problems with the previous modules. - Sending an email to support with a problem, then being told to check Knowledge Base, and having the ticket closed when the situation isn't resolved is infuriating. --- ### Transforming the workplace through engagement and learning - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Veronica D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### Redzone is easy to use, and has a high impact across our entire organization - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sean H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### Exceptional Training and Mobile Visibility - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sara N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Cosmetics - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### RedZone is a great tool for improving efficiencies and communication. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Chris D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Cosmetics - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### We Didn't Just Learn RedZone, We Learned How to Operate Better - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Maria R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### Redzone review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Deepti D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered As automation supports the daily tasks on manufacturing floor, it makes the individual proactive to utilise their mind for better ideas. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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 --- ### Live Data and Huddles That Drive Continuous Improvement and coaches approaches to Training - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Austeja J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: June 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered There’s good engagement from supervisors, and people are able to get involved and have a voice where, perhaps, beforehand they wouldn’t have. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### Great tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Juan A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### Thank you Redzone and kudos to the on-site coach ! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Charlène V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We’ve had an amazing coach guiding us through the process. [sensitive content hidden] , our on-site coach, managed to motivate and involve all employees; from production line workers to administrative teams ensuring an efficient implementation of Redzone. She was very understanding and actively listened to everyone’s feedback in order to adjust the app’s settings accordingly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Once you dig into it, the Redzone app is very intuitive and easy to use. We can clearly see the benefits of using Redzone to accurately measure our production performance and to gather all information in one app, which also allows us to record quality control checks and follow-ups. #### Cons Redzone is only compatible with iOS devices. Depending on the product information and type you need to integrate into the Redzone app, it can be quite time-consuming. --- ### Redzone: 5 STARS! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrew B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

His relentless commitment to training and learning our business has been a difference maker. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Ease of use! And communication from the floor! #### Cons Glitches in web admin. Waiting on complete transition from "red" app to web solution. --- ### Great experience implementing Redzone - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Claudia B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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 #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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 --- ### Redzone Transformation of Operation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tom W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Transformational Data-driven KPIs we can measure/manage #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Operations Efficiency Improved Safety Financial Improvement #### Cons No issues. It created incredible discipline. --- ### The Value of using Redzone. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chuck O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall experience has been really good, the support we have received from [sensitive content hidden] has been outstanding! I think Redzone is a great tool and a positive move forward for our team. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Redzone has provided us with a tool to help our front-line workers have a voice to communicate with their team. The use of Redzone has brought supporting departments together with our production team to work as one unit to solve problems and improve processes. Not only does Redzone provide a ton of useful data, but it has also provided a cultural shift and created a more positive, engaged environment. #### Cons We found that the install of Redzone was a little worrisome for our front-line workers. Before installing, some felt like it was a tracking tool for management to track employees, with a lot of meetings to discuss what we want to use the tool for (to give a voice to the workers and help them) the team really bought into it and became more positive. i would say that this is very important and that management at ALL levels should be engaged and supportive. --- ### Redzone gets an A+++ - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amy V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our experience has been amazing. Everyone from sales to coaching has been nothing short of creating an experience for us. Not just a job to them. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Saco Foods prides ourselves in the programs we've implemented over the years to help employees feel engated, food safety, food quality and overall systems. My position involves Supplier Approval Programs so I have toured many facilities, and starting seeing Redzone pop up. I was intrigued. In further research I felt it was a great program to implement. We had no idea how great it would be. One of the most meaningful benfits of Redzone is the operator engagement. Putting all savings aside (and we have seen a 54% increase in OEE), our employees feel a part of the program and the company. They take ownership in themselves and in the company. People care and want you to know that, and they want to feel they're a productive part of the process. We cannot say enough good things about Redzone. #### Cons I have literally sat here and thought about how to answer this for 10 minutes. I come up with absolutely nothing. There have been no downsides from our experience! --- ### Redzone - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We are ultimately trying to improve both our communication on the shop floor in order to solve problems more effectively, as well as improve the OEE of our operation. Redzone has definitely helped us to do that. We still have areas to improve, but we have realized a 10-15% throughout the process of re-engaging Redzone. Our QA records are more thoroughly documented and our staff has taken more ownership. We have had a great experience with Redzone and I would recommend them to help other operations. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Our company had implemented Redzone about 5 years ago. Through a series of personnel changes, and company acquisitions, we used it, but not to the full potential. As we were acquired in 2020, our parent company was in the process of a Redzone roll-out to their facilities. We implemented a re-launch of the product starting in September 2020. We had a great coach [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who helped train some of our staff in both Redzone and Lean Mfg. methods. While we did not see as much of an increase in OEE as we had hoped through the re-launch, it provided us a good base. In 2021 - Q1, we launched the Compliance module to track our Quality. After the completion, we have seen a nice boost in OEE, as well as a reduction in some of our quality holds. The Compliance module ensures that our staff are keeping up with the required checks, and we have them take pictures of various items so that we have documentation. When we have had customer audits, it is very easy to pull up the data and many of our auditors have been impressed with the system. We have also branched out into safety audits using Redzone, and have the ability to take pictures, documents, etc. and broadcast them to TV’s that are spread out across the factory and use the system as a great communication tool. #### Cons Redzone is only available through iPads. There are times where it would be nice to have it more of a PC based software, but it isn’t the end of the world. We have our manager, supervisors, QA, and maintenance techs equipped with iPads so that they can always monitor. You can also get a license for Tableau in order to slice and dice the data into further detail. It is nice to setup reports and have dashboards. It does take some practice to learn the software, but the support group is very helpful. #### Vendor response Thank you for the thoughtful review. Glad to see that you are having more success since the relaunch of your continuous improvement journey! Replied May 2021 --- ### Great product but very expensive - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Eric J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our Coach [sensitive content hidden] is extremely knowledgeable about the products, she understands manufacturing environments very well, and she is very responsive when we reach out for help. [sensitive content hidden] did a great job overall of helping us get the most out of the platform and making it fit OUR specific needs, AND she is fun and engaging when leading/training the teams. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The compliance module is a great tool to for paperless documentation of a broad variety of quality information including photos, videos, text, etc. The timing functions ensure on-time execution of quality checks and new checks are relatively easy to build. There is a great variety of structures/formats for the checks so really any task can be documented thoroughly and efficiently. The downtime communication and tracking, problem tracking, and communication tools (huddles, etc) are pretty effective. #### Cons Our environment is not a complex, highly automated, highly integrated system. It is fairly simple and therefore the OEE tracking was not very impactful and probably not worth the high cost. --- ### Paperless journey for the Engineering administrator - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mintra S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Before Redzone, I used to spend a lot of time manually inputting data from sheets of paper into our Excel files. This was a very administrative and time-consuming task. Now, all the necessary checks are being filled and submitted via Redzone. I have full visibility of the paperwork, including when it was completed and the pass/fail status of the checks. I can better use my time on other tasks. Redzone has also helped me save time on managing work orders much more efficiently. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We are now paperless because of Redzone. I find the admin app very easy to use, and I can manage all my settings. Changes can be applied quickly, and I can also see the log of changes that I have made. #### Cons Redzone is not available on PC and i can only use ipad to access the main app. --- ### Redzone Feedback - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Graciela S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has been great. I believe most were resistant to the change, but have realized it is easier than they expected. It has made our life easier. Less clutter, better production. It has made it easier for document control. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like that most things are at the touch of my fingertips. I like that I can see what's going on from anywhere in the world. I can fix certain codes from the Ipad. I like that there is a detailed history in the ipad. It holds people accountable the quality of our products. This program makes it neater for everyone involved. It saves time, and money. Redzone is what you make of it. You can build it to best meet the needs of your company. #### Cons I don't like that once a run is closed, the Run ID cannot be changed. Often times, The operator will select the wrong run ID, but they produced what they were supposed to produce correctly. If the run is closed i cannot edit the Run ID. While the run is active, I can change it. I don't want to be able to change the data, just change the Run ID. --- ### Buy Redzone - No Brainer! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jagadeesh D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Initially we started with Productivity software and during the first year, we increased our productivity by 50%! If we don't have Redzone for even an hour, we feel like crippled! I will be calling everybody I know in Redzone to get it fixed, but that happens may be once in 2 years because it hardly goes down and no issue at all! Compliance software - Trust me, Initially there was lot of pushback from QA dept to get this implemented because all of us are used to doing this in a way that suits us! But trust me, after implementation and they started using it, they cannot live without Redzone! Even the QA tech's love this ease of software compared to paper. We are like 95 % paperless and depend everything on Redzone. Lastly but not the least, again Redzone people haven't paid me to say this, Just call Redzone and get it installed! Seriously NO BRAINER!!!! All of you will see the results when your bottomline (EBITDA) keep increasing every year, this is absolute required when everything around us keeps increasing including hourly wages and we cannot increase our customer prices! End of the day, if you don't like it, it's easy to cancel the Redzone! As simple as that! Good Luck Folks.And so far probably I have shown the software to 20 or 25 customers, and almost all of them have signed up for Redzone after our call or plant tour in our facility. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - Ease of use especially for hourly workers including any language speaking employees! Because it's as simple as identifying Red / Green and make a decision. - Software use to drive the productivity. - Great knowledge of Redzone Coaches. - Accessing the history is terrific, especially when we have a BRC audit, lot of auditors were super impressed and even mentioned that every company needs to use the Redzone to make the auditor lie easier too! - Etc etc, because I can keep going and write 2 pages about it. #### Cons - Nothing I can think of. - Somebody need to own this and be an expert, it's definitely not like turning on the switch and forgetting about it. #### Reasons for choosing Redzone None. #### Vendor response Thank you for the review and especially for the compelling call to action: "Buy Redzone - No Brainer!" Replied June 2021 --- ### Over 107% Productivity increase within the first 90 days of using Redzone! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Karthik S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The combination of real-time data and historical records helps identify top losses and address issues as soon as possible. In 2021, our factory has seen over 40% increase in efficiency, 15% reduction in consumer complaints and over $250K in waste reduction from using Redzone as a platform to establish a continuous improvement culture. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Forums, chats and groups make it very easy to collaborate cross-functionally across all shifts. Very easy to use and understand Redzone with tons of features within the Productivity and Compliance Module. Real-time data helps front line leaders understand what support is needed so that actions can be created (within the app) to eliminate root cause. Data checks are beneficial for historical records and analytics. #### Cons The ability for Redzone to have more ways to visualize the data without having to rely on a third party integration (Tableau). Also the ability to add external attachments like Word or PowerPoint to data sheets. --- ### Lean partner that continually improves their services - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Joe S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have been a customer for seven years, deploying multiple systems with coaching engagements throughout that period. The experiences have always been positive and the investments have had valuable returns. The part of Redzone I enjoy the most is that they partner with you to ensure you have success. Being a customer is having a lean partner that continually improves their services. We get better as Redzone learns and gets better. It would be difficult for any organization to create an internal lean department that compares to the quality of services that Redzone offers. Being a customer you get to be a part of an organization who's entire goal is to learn and provide better manufacturing excellence services. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Redzone is not a traditional MES software. I can be difficult to define exactly. Along with the visual workplace software Redzone will coach you in to how to use the system most effectively. It is part software, part standardized lean approach, and part custom lean consulting. It provides a visual workplace along with a program to manage a highly productive and collaborative work environment. #### Cons Some of the features can be cumbersome to manage through the iOS interface. Good customer service is provided to help make the management easier. #### Vendor response Very thoughtful review, Joe. Your description of "Software + Std lean + Custom lean" should be very interesting to buyers who "don't think they are read for lean", which we hear a lot.

We have implemented the productivity and compliance module at 12 of our factories and have had improvements in performance at every plant. With the impact to results and the ability to get employees more involved in the CI process we have been very happy with our selection decision to implement Redzone #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The availability to have real time data at the line and to increase the accuracy of our data capture. This has been a foundation to the identification of productivity/waste reduction opportunities. The compliance module has been critical for standardization across all our facilities and has been a foundation of our Food Safety Program. We have had several SQF auditors tell us that we are best in class because of Redzone and our application of the software. The last is the improved communication across the plants, the chat functionality was a surprise that has been critical to the improvement. #### Cons I do not have any Cons to share. The software has delivered a lot of value and we continue to learn and expand our utilization. #### Reasons for choosing Redzone The decision to purchase the software was based on four critical factors, 1) Utilization of mobile technology, the user interface was very easy for are operators to use. 2) Real time data and ability to access data, 3) light IT infrastructure and easy of implementation, 4) Value from a cost perspective. The coach in module and access to a community of like customers was a differentiator over other options #### Vendor response Thanx for the 5 out of 5 / 10 out of 10 review, John, but what I think is most compelling is the 12 out of 12 plants that have resulted in productivity improvements!
