When a global automotive manufacturer decided to elevate its product development strategy, it made a bold, future-ready move: standardize on Codebeamer as its core ALM platform – and invest in AroTrace to ensure full integration with its wider tool ecosystem.

This strategic dual-purchase reflects a clear vision: to create a connected, traceable and high-performing development environment from day one.

CHALLENGE

The Complexity Behind the Curtain

Modern automotive development relies on an intricate web of systems—each playing a critical role in delivering safety, innovation and compliance. For this manufacturer, the challenge was not just selecting the right ALM tool, but ensuring it could operate in sync with existing solutions for requirements, modeling, test management and regulatory oversight.

The core pain points included:

1. A diverse and decentralized tool landscape, with limited data interoperability.

2. Inconsistent traceability across systems and project phases.

3. A growing need for real-time collaboration and lifecycle transparency.

4. The risk of duplicating work, losing context, or missing compliance checkpoints.

Recognizing that the power of Codebeamer would be fully realized only in an integrated environment, the organization proactively planned to close these gaps.

DECISION

A Future-Proof Integration Plan

After selecting Codebeamer for its robust ALM capabilities, the company turned to AroTrace from Arorian to complete the picture.

Why AroTrace?

1. It enables bi-directional integration between Codebeamer and multiple third-party tools.

2. It ensures data consistency across the entire lifecycle.

3. It supports future-proof scaling as the engineering ecosystem evolves.

4. And it brings traceability by design, not as an afterthought.

Rather than waiting for integration challenges to arise post-implementation, the team took a proactive approach – securing AroTrace as a key pillar of its ALM strategy.

WHAT’S NEXT

Laying the Groundwork for Connected Engineering

A phased rollout focuses on:

1. Connecting Codebeamer with upstream and downstream systems.

2. Defining synchronization logic to match internal workflows.

3. Automating traceability links between requirements, tests and releases.

4. Establishing a single source of truth for compliance and reporting.

With this foundation in place, the organization anticipates a range of impactful outcomes – from clearer visibility across the entire development lifecycle and more effective collaboration between teams, to faster, data-driven decision-making and a noticeable reduction in manual, repetitive tasks.

A STRATEGIC CHOICE

Why AroTrace Was the Missing Link

This forward-looking investment demonstrates the company’s commitment to smart, integrated product development – and its belief that success isn’t just about the tools you use, but how well they work together.
