Arena PLM and Kenandy Cloud ERP can now communicate directly with each other, enabling customers to share up-to-date product data with finance, sales and manufacturing departments to ensure accurate financial planning and support operations.
"We are excited to be partnering with Kenandy to deliver a fully cloud-based integrated PLM and ERP solution." said Steve Chalgren, EVP of product management and chief strategy officer at Arena Solutions. "The integration between our products is simple, clean, and can be implemented quickly. Isn't that refreshing?"
Using the integration between Arena PLM and Kenandy Cloud ERP, customers can:
- Manage the product development process of product data (items, bill of materials, manufacturer and supplier data) in a centralized Arena PLM system through the entire product lifecycle; and
- Use Kenandy to quickly plan, procure and manufacture products upon handoff of the latest product release from Arena.
Primus Power Benefits from Seamless Integration
Delivering clean-tech energy storage solutions based on advanced battery technology, Hayward, California-based Primus Power was already successfully using Arena PLM for their groundbreaking design and engineering activities. It was essential that their new ERP and existing PLM system integrate seamlessly. Kenandy fit the bill perfectly.
In Primus' fast-moving, design-focused environment, an engineer can now implement a product idea or improvement in the PLM system and within minutes the new part number is generated in Kenandy-automatically. Instantly, people throughout the company can find that part; there's a pricing history for it, a supply history. "People no longer say, 'Did we order that bracket?' They can now actually see that it's on order. They can find the purchase order and the promised delivery date," said Mark Collins, senior director of operations at Primus. "So much information is now available at people's fingertips simply because we created a part number that's now searchable in the system."
"Cloud solutions deliver business agility in ways that on-premise solutions just cannot," said Rod Butters, president and chief operating officer at Kenandy. "Together Arena and Kenandy are delivering a solution that can be deployed fast and, more importantly, helps the business run fast. Even though our customers are working with our two products, their entire team sees a single, complete, real-time source of truth from product design to product delivered to bottom-line results."
