Redzone

What Redzone does

Redzone is a producer of AI-powered Connected Workforce software for manufacturing frontline teams, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of QAD Inc. (NASDAQ: QADB) under the legal entity Verifract, LLC (Delaware). The platform unifies four core software modules — Productivity, Compliance/QMS, Reliability/CMMS, and Learning/LMS — with an agentic AI layer branded ChampionAI that converts live production data into real-time recommendations and automated actions. A structured 90-day coaching program is bundled with software deployment, embedding coaches on the factory floor to drive Kaizen events, daily huddles, and Lean habits, with the company reporting an average 26% productivity increase within the first 90 days across its installed base of 2,000+ factories worldwide.

The company's go-to-market is exclusively direct: enterprise field sales and inside sales motions targeting mid-market and enterprise manufacturers, with all sales conducted via "Contact Sales" and "Book a Meeting" CTAs on a quote-based, consultative model. Annual SaaS subscriptions are the primary revenue stream, supplemented by separately billed professional services for implementation, setup, and the coaching program, plus optional third-party interoperable services wrapped into the annual fee. Customer verticals span food & beverage (primary), consumer packaged goods, industrial manufacturing, automotive, life sciences, and plastics & chemicals. Geographic coverage includes the Americas, EMEA (where active expansion was announced in 2026), and Asia-Pacific, with 20 years of India operations and a newly launched Champions of Manufacturing Thailand hub.

Redzone monetizes through recurring annual subscriptions (up to 6% renewal escalator per MSA), implementation and coaching services billed lump-sum per Order Form, and bundled third-party services. The company maintains SOC-2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certifications, enabling regulated-industry penetration. Strategic technology alliances with AWS (cloud infrastructure on Amazon Bedrock) and TCS (transformation services), combined with parent QAD's ERP distribution channel, create a bundled go-to-market for AI-driven ERP modernization deals in the mid-market manufacturer segment.

Revenue model

1. Software Services (SaaS Subscription): Cloud-based software services provided on an annual subscription basis. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive one-year terms unless 45 days' notice is provided. Subscription fees are billed as a lump sum annually, with prorated fees for additional services added mid-term. Redzone may increase fees up to 6% at each renewal anniversary with 60 days' notice.
2. Professional Services: Implementation, setup, coaching, and onboarding services provided as separate deliverables from the software subscription. Professional services fees are billed in a lump sum per the Order Form. If professional services are not commenced within one year of the scheduled date (due to customer delay), the customer remains obligated to pay for those services.
3. Third-Party Services: Products or services from third parties that interoperate with the Software Services, purchased through Redzone and added as part of the annual subscription fees.
