Case Study: Spectranetix achieves secure, traceable cloud PLM and ISO readiness with Arena Solutions

Delivering Innovative Technologies to the Defense Industry

Spectranetix is a fast-growing developer of modular cyber-electronics and C4ISR/SOSA-aligned solutions for defense and commercial customers. As the company moved from rapid prototyping to product commercialization and manufacturing, it needed a single-source product lifecycle and quality management system with secure, auditable configuration control, supply-chain traceability, and defenses-focused compliance — capabilities that its informal mix of spreadsheets and homegrown tools could not provide.

Spectranetix implemented Arena PLM in GovCloud to centralize product data, change control, NCMR/CAPA quality workflows, and shipment configuration manifests, with end-to-end traceability from serial numbers to program records. The cloud solution delivered secure scalability, stronger audit and ISO support, improved supplier collaboration, and better remote-team processes — accelerating commercialization, supporting ongoing ISO certification efforts, and preparing the company for ERP and supply-chain rollouts.
