Arden Software is a Manchester-based software developer focused on CAD and CAM solutions for the print and packaging sector. The company provides packaging design tools, most notably Impact CAD, and develops systems for structural design, die-making and workflow management, alongside services to install, customize and maintain these solutions. Founded in 1988 and still family-owned, it operates as a global organization with its head office in Marple, Stockport, and offices in several countries. Its customer base spans the packaging and printing industries, including die shops, and the offerings are designed to support design, production planning and workflow across packaging operations. In 2026 Arden Software GmbH launched perFORMance, an ERP system for die shop management that provides integrated job tracking, estimating and scheduling, fully connected with Impact CAD. This development reflects the company's ongoing expansion of its product ecosystem to connect design work with shop-floor execution.
