For startups building regulated devices, Expandable ERP provides the operational backbone for manufacturing, inventory, and traceability — and Arena PLM helps ensure product data and change control are handled the right way from the start.

What breaks between prototype and scale
Most early-stage med-tech and hardware teams can manage prototypes with disconnected tools for only so long. The real trouble starts when regulatory pressure, engineering changes, supplier complexity, and traceability expectations all hit at once.
A clearer path from product record to production reality
Arena PLM helps your team manage product data, changes, and design collaboration. Expandable ERP turns that approved product record into purchasing, inventory, production, traceability, and operational execution built for regulated growth.
Design control: Manage product records, revisions, and approvals in Arena.
Approved handoff: Move released product data into Expandable for execution.
Operational control: Drive purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, and traceability in Expandable.
Growth readiness: Support scale without rebuilding your systems later.
Most early-stage med-tech and complex electronics teams can manage prototypes with disconnected tools for only so long. The real problems start when engineering changes, supplier coordination, inventory planning, and traceability expectations all collide — and teams realize the “wall” between PLM and ERP is creating delays, rework, and risk.
Expandable helps remove that wall by giving startups a practical operational backbone for what gets built, bought, tracked, and shipped.
Expandable ERP gives you the traceability, control, and process visibility you need to keep products — and partnerships — moving forward.
Total Traceability
From lot-controlled components to serialized final assemblies, Expandable ensures full audit trails for every unit you produce — helping you meet FDA and ISO 13485 standards with confidence.
Built-In Quality & Compliance
RMA, CAPA, document control, and audit logs are core to our system — not bolt-ons. You get consistent, compliant workflows from day one.
Operational Precision
Manage BOMs, work orders, engineering changes, and delivery timelines in one integrated system. Keep your shop floor aligned and your customers on schedule.
