"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 …

“We incorporate risk management throughout the design controls process per 21 CFR Part 820.30. Risk management starts early in the design process, when user needs and design inputs are defined. This early identification of risks helps us manage and deliver successful design verification and validation results.”

"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 …

"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.”

"Since implementing Arena, we no longer work in silos. Everyone now has complete visibility into issues or open items that impact production. Nothing slips through the cracks.”

"Since transitioning to Arena, we don’t need IT to maintain the system. It is easy to manage and configure according to our business requirements. We’re able to streamline our engineering change processes, and we no longer need biweekly meetings to manage approvals.”

"To be able to combine all of our separate development efforts into one thread where you can see the progress of the product—that was the missing piece from our puzzle.”

"Before Arena, there was no definitive source of truth for product information. The source of truth was somewhere between what was in one large folder organized by ECOs, what our CM had, and what we had on hand.”

"To me, Arena was the right move, a fundamental choice because any company that manages complex products cannot live without PLM.”

"Arena allows you to easily configure the system but not to customize it. In my experience, customizing a system can be difficult and time-consuming. The configurability of Arena allows me to focus on critical work and ensures seamless product updates.”

"Arena was one of about 10 platforms we looked at, specifically how they handled change management, BOM control, training, and how other applications like ERP and CAD could be integrated.”

“Before the connection with Onshape, document and part number requests were slow and error prone.”

“Before we had a PLM system there were Google Drive files and a lot of sharing and confirming of drawings with suppliers through e-mail and WeChat. That’s fine if you’re a small team and not expanding your portfolio too much but when there’s real growth, keeping track of what’s truly …

"A PLM is something you need when you work with outsourced manufacturing. Having a single source of truth gives us a level of control to confidently track and identify the specs when we need to change a supplier, find an alternative part, or onboard a new supplier for a specific …

"As an aerospace startup transitioning to a proper design organization, having tools that allow us to communicate our design data in a controlled manner is crucial. The combination of Onshape and Arena lets us make this transition smoothly, stay agile, and deliver complex drones that meet customer needs.”
