Product Details

What is Arena PLM and QMS?

Arena, a PTC business, helps companies to design, produce, and deliver innovative products with a unified cloud-based PLM and QMS platform. Arena understands modern product companies rely on distributed teams and global supply chains to develop products, ensure regulatory compliance (FDA, ISO, ITAR, EAR, and environmental compliance), and respond to customer demands.


Arena states that they have more than 1,400 global high-tech electronics and medical device customers. Companies with complex products comprised of electrical, mechanical, and software designs need a single system to collaborate in real-time. Arena enables every participant throughout the entire product lifecycle to work together–increasing visibility and traceability. This helps to accelerate new product development (NPD) and new product introduction (NPI) by streamlining processes, automating review cycles, and reducing errors to increase profitability.

Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Several times but once that occurred late last year. We needed to have parts that were OBSOLETED but that appeared ONLY in OBSOLETED and Abandoned BOM's. We worked with Doug Johnston who assisted us in outputting a huge data file which with his assistance, could filter out non needed parts and get to OBSOLETE parts THAT were ONLY contained in OBSOLETED parts. The process was even automated to get it downloaded in our ARENA dashboard automatically once a month. By doing this, we were able to effectively and quickly remove obsoleted parts from our inventory and from our partners inventory.

Sure, we had a new product in development, and we did not want to share the particulars with the entire user group, so Arena suggested creating a new workspace with only the select few users who needed to see the information. They walked me through the whole process and I was able to proceed with this new product moving though the design process, with very little downtime or snags, it worked beautifully, and it was a win win!

In the initial stages of arena purchase, they helped a lot in configuring the QMS to our personal needs. They even offered additional sessions at free of cost to help us getting acquainted with the software. The sessions were very informatory and helped the team understand how to make most of the software.

I had signed up a partner and it was not working. Arena worked with me until I got it correct. Another time was when I wanted to create a DHF in the ARENA system. They hooked me up with their medical device expert and she provided me with a few ways that this could be done at no extra cost.

I somehow changed a setting in the administrator tool that proliferated to linked systems. My boss at the time had several complaints because of this and right before lunch (I was supposed to go out to lunch that day with friends) stopped by and told me to fix it immediately. The stress was such that I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I reached out to the support team who worked on trying to find out what I did and help resolve the issue. We were back and forth on the phone and the issue was resolved in a couple of hours. I had a couple of glasses of wine that night!
