About Arena QMS

Arena QMS is a cloud-based, product-centric quality management system that provides businesses with tools to build a single source of truth and ensure regulatory compliance across the entire product lifecycle. Our multilayered security model also ensures your intellectual property (IP) is always safe and secure.

Arena QMS connects quality records directly to the product design in a single system. We help you document and track closed-loop quality processes for device master records (DMRs), design history files (DHFs), training records, and corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) in context to the entire product record and bill of materials (BOM).

Arena QMS allows organizations to configure role-based access for employees and facilitate collaboration among team members or supply chain partners. Managers can conduct quality assurance tests, identify potential issues, and review or revise test specifications according to requirements. It also lets users streamline operational processes in compliance with various industry regulations, such as FDA 21, CFR Part 820, and ISO 13485.

Arena QMS provides an API, which enables businesses to integrate the platform with various third-party applications, such as Microsoft Dynamics, Zendesk, Salesforce, Kenandy, and more. The software also helps users manage intellectual properties (IPs) and share product records with suppliers or design partners. Arena QMS also connects with the solutions you use every day to maximize your results and get products to market even faster.

Overall the software has been very useful to our company and the customer service has been outstanding. Arena gives the customers the ability to customize workflow and also listens to the voices of the customers when releasing new updates.

Pros

ARENA is a very user friendly platform and easy to navigate. It has made it easy for our company to create, document, and maintain Bill of Materials and show visibility to those in our company, as well as third party suppliers/contract manufacturers.
Requests and Changes are easily created and implemented.

Cons

The user interface itself looks a little outdated. Some of the integrations aren't exactly what was desired. Even with the Third party integrations, there is a good bit of backend, manual entry to be done.

Response from Arena, a PTC Business

Arena has been a great tool for eliminating silos in product development. Everyone has access to the same information, in the same location.

Pros

The product is so easy to use. Even from the Admin side setting up and use Arena QMS is pretty easy
