Case Study: Nutanix achieves zero wrong BOMs and 50% faster time-to-market with Arena Solutions' Arena PLM

How Nutanix Reduced BOM Errors to Absolute Zero

Nutanix, a provider of hyperconverged infrastructure and cloud software, faced persistent product-development and manufacturing issues driven by uncontrolled BOMs, version-control errors, and inefficient change-order processes. Relying on spreadsheets and email led to suppliers building wrong revisions, costly rework and scrap, and unacceptable delays that threatened time to market and operational trust.

Nutanix implemented Arena PLM, a cloud-based, pay-per-use PLM that integrates with NetSuite and centralizes BOM and change management for suppliers and stakeholders. The solution cut ECO approval cycles from days to hours, resulted in zero wrong BOMs, shortened the product concept-to-cash cycle by about 50%, reduced scrap and product errors, and accelerated time to market while improving cost visibility and supplier collaboration.
