Why Unifize works the way Arena doesn’t

Arena PLM + QMS helps companies manage product and quality data in one system. But its rigid workflows, dated interface, and lack of built-in collaboration slow down decision-making, adoption, and process improvement. Unifize reimagines quality management for modern, connected organizations. Its AI-native, collaborative platform delivers the speed, flexibility, and real-time visibility teams need to accelerate compliance, innovation, and growth.

Where Arena falls short

Clunky user experience

Arena’s interface feels outdated and hard to navigate. Simple tasks often require too many steps, slowing teams down and reducing adoption outside engineering.

Inflexible workflows

Built-in processes are hard to adapt. Even small changes can require workarounds or admin support, making continuous improvement feel like a configuration project.

Disconnected collab

Arena lacks real-time chat or contextual discussion. Teams rely on external emails and meetings, losing decisions outside the system and slowing resolution.

WHAT MAKES UNIFIZE DIFFERENT

Redefining what a modern QMS can be

Unifize isn’t another eQMS, it’s a new class of AI-native, collaborative quality management. Designed for how modern teams actually work, Unifize turns compliance from a checklist into a continuous, connected conversation across teams, processes, and data.

Chat-driven collaboration

Every record becomes a living conversation where people, data, and decisions come together in real time for faster, more confident outcomes.

Rapid time to value

Cloud-native and no-code, it goes live in weeks. Teams can refine workflows independently for faster ROI and continuous improvement.

Built for adoption and alignment

An intuitive, familiar interface brings every team together. Unlimited free collaborators make participation effortless across the organization.

AI-native architecture

All data lives in a single, connected model that powers automation, analytics, and insights. Teams gain predictive visibility without exports or add-ons.
