Advancing lean manufacturing, operational excellence, and digital workforce transformation across European industrial organizations

MUNICH & MIAMI: QAD | Redzone, the company behind the world’s number one platform for manufacturers, announced a strategic partnership with PwC Belgium aimed at advancing lean manufacturing, operational excellence, and digital workforce transformation for industrial organizations in Belgium and across Europe.

By combining QAD | Redzone’s ChampionAI and leading Connected Workforce Solution with PwC’s deep manufacturing expertise and operational excellence capabilities, the collaboration delivers an end-to-end approach to modernizing factory floor operations, driving productivity, and supporting frontline teams.

The partnership builds on PwC Belgium’s Center of Operational Excellence, which brings together deep industry knowledge and hands-on operational expertise. The combination of QAD | Redzone’s Connected Workforce Solution with PwC’s ability to connect shopfloor improvements to the broader operational priorities of the business provides clients with a strong end-to-end transformation proposition. This allows improvements initiated on the factory floor to be reinforced by the wider capabilities, decisions and ways of working required to deliver sustainable value across the organization.

Integrated Go-to-Market Strategy and Regional Scale

As part of a unified go-to-market model, QAD | Redzone and PwC Belgium will engage clients collaboratively, matching technology deployment with high-impact change management and operational coaching.

To translate this combined expertise into measurable results, QAD | Redzone and PwC Belgium will support clients through an integrated co-delivery approach. QAD | Redzone brings its Connected Workforce Solution and proven frontline transformation methodology, while PwC contributes deep industry knowledge, hands-on operational expertise and change capabilities. By combining technology, operational coaching and implementation support, the partnership helps clients embed new ways of working, strengthen frontline engagement and sustain improvements over time. Where broader operational dependencies need to be addressed, PwC can bring in the additional expertise required to support a truly end-to-end transformation.

Immediate Momentum

The partnership is already generating measurable traction across the region:
