About Arzana
Built by manufacturers, for manufacturers.
Our mission
We founded Arzana because we experienced the problem firsthand. Manufacturing offices are drowning in repetitive administrative work that keeps talented people from doing what they were hired to do: grow the business.
Robotics transformed the shop floor decades ago. We believe it's time for the same transformation in the office. Not by replacing people, but by freeing them to focus on customers, strategy, and revenue.
With offices in San Francisco and Iowa, we're embedded in the industrial community we serve. We deploy onsite, we learn your operation, and we build tools that actually work for the people using them.
