"After evaluating several systems, we ultimately chose Arena PLM for its flexibility. It had the functionality that we needed for bill of materials (BOM) and requirements management. We also found it very cost-effective, enabling us to start with fewer licenses and add more as the company expanded."
"As we grew and tried to manage multiple product lines, keeping track of design documents buried in dusty file cabinets, maintaining current sops, and managing training records became an insurmountable task.”
"We appreciate the flexibility of Arena, allowing us to tailor it to support our current processes and gradually expand our usage over time. We also like that it scales to accommodate our continued growth.”
“We had to be able to iterate quickly on designs, track changes, and link related product information to scale and speed marketability."
"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."
“A very good class. I feel the training was very beneficial and I look forward to applying it to my day-to-day processes.”
“When it comes to PLM solutions, Arena is better than any system I have used in the past. The value Arena provides compared to other commercial systems is remarkable. And because it is cloud-based, we have a system that can scale as our needs change and our business grows. We know that Arena PLM can take us through the next two generations of our evolution.”
“We’ve developed strong working models of processes that now include remote teams—Arena supports all this with ease in a secure platform. Since going live with Arena, the benefits have been countless.”
“We needed to demonstrate to our government contract customers that we established a best-practice PLM platform and a QMS that were aligned and working together in support of our ISO9000 effort.”
“Arena QMS is a true lifecycle management system that is better than the typical document-focused QMS solutions. Being able to manage BOMs and changes along with quality processes is a major advantage.”
“Having our product data in a single, secure system that scales with our growth is key to our success and our ability to deliver products to market fast and without issues.”
“Arena is used by manufacturing, engineering, maintenance, and quality insurance. The whole organization uses Arena. It helps centralize everything on our products from engineering, manufacturing, installation, and spare parts. Being able to centralize the process, BOM, drawings, and everything around our system changed the way we did things and we are now more efficient.”
"Arena can do it all. It can manage your bill of materials (BOMs), quality system, documents, device returns, nonconformances, and our entire corrective and preventive action process."
“Arena is now part of the product design culture at FreeWire and acts as the brain of our product development infrastructure with other systems working around it. As people become more comfortable with the solution and stop relying on shared drives and other older silos of information, Arena becomes the answer and single source for finding all product information. If information is in Arena, we know it can be trusted. If it is found somewhere else, we can’t trust the information because it is not controlled.”
"Having real-time access to a single, unified system gives us confidence that information is always up to date and that the right product gets built without any errors or delays."
