Arena Exchange is supply chain management and collaboration software that facilitates collaboration between multiple users at all supplier levels. The platform allows users to review, comment, approve or reject build packages, as well as monitor approval statuses and receive real-time project activity updates.
In the world of product development and manufacturing, the bill of materials (BOM) is a critical product information record for both the engineering and manufacturing teams. Traditionally, BOMs have been created and updated in spreadsheets, and communicated to internal teams, outsourced manufacturers and suppliers via email, phone or fax. Usually, final BOMs are also loaded into the ERP systems. However, compressed product lifecycles, geographically dispersed project teams, cost pressures, outsourced partnerships, and stringent regulatory requirements are challenging the traditional BOM management and communication in a number of ways.
For manufacturers, product lifecycle management software solutions can be the difference between having a stellar launch and an uninspired flop. As the first cloud-only PLM software vendor, Arena Solutions has made a faster PLM software solution that’s both affordable and easy to access. We spoke with CEO Craig Livingston about what places Arena plm software at the cutting edge of the cloud revolution.
