"Arena gives us the ability to manage our quality processes and our product all in one solution. We have gone from a paper based to electronic management solution for several different processes. In addition to change control and BOM management, we have implemented several different quality processes including CAPAs, nonconformances and our entire supplier management process."
"We like the fact that arena provides our global teams 24/7 access and that it gives us better visibility into our core product bom information. We’re also pleased that arena’s cloud infrastructure does not require costly it resources for deployment and maintenance."
“We had to be able to iterate quickly on designs, track changes, and link related product information to scale and speed marketability."
"We get terrific feedback from the give and take of the review process. Indeed partners have provided feedback that helped us avoid making unnecessary, confusing or costly changes."
“There was no up-front cost, and our monthly recurring ROI is approximately 900%, thanks to the amount of time Sidekick saves us. We can do more important work now and are ready for our next growth stage.”
"Arena is the solution we can grow with."
"Arena makes the whole product process much faster and efficient. Simply put, everyone here at Pulse loves Arena."
"Being able to see quickly across processes and actions this is critical information for us."
"I didn’t need to hire a team to manage the infrastructure associated with an onpremise siloed system anymore. I now only needed one person to help me which kept my overhead costs low."
"Monitoring and measuring product and process performance are key requirements of medical device regulations."
"Arena plays a key role in getting us to our product goals."
"Early after go-live with Arena, our productivity has already improved—thanks to the clear, transparent product data in Arena; ease of use; and quick-change processes."
"I have been around the block and had my share of all kinds of implementations with pretty much any vendor that you can think of. I would have to say that Arena is absolutely at the top of the list in terms of working with a client and making sure that whatever is needed to make the implementation a success, is done."
"A big advantage managing quality in Arena is the ability to link quality records to the part record and bill of materials (BOM). It’s not helpful having disconnected software systems for quality and product development where impacted teams don’t have cross-functional visibility. We contrasted both PLM and standalone QMS software solutions and costs. There was a cost savings for PLM, but the connected quality processes and links to the product BOM led us to select Arena, even before considering total cost. Since our initial implementation, we’ve improved complaint investigation duration and timeliness of CAPA management through process improvements supported by Arena’s product-centric quality management system approach."
“We selected Arena PLM because of its extensive capabilities, as well as its ease of use and administration, which meant we could hit the ground running. Through Arena’s best practice implementation and stellar service and support team, we were able to get immediate benefits with our engineering change and product release processes.”
