Product Lifecycle Management (PLM):
Your path to confident product launches
It’s time to reimagine PLM.
Gone are the days of PLM tools that aren’t designed for the people using it. Scattered files, disconnected systems and confusing email threads are a thing of the past. And no more hours lost in feedback loops or searching for the right information.
Bombiix puts you at the heart of product development – unifying your data, your teams and your processes in one clear, connected space.
So you can bring products to market faster, with ease and confidence.
Why you need a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system
Creating great products is complex. But many of the tools product teams still rely on make it even harder.
When data lives in spreadsheets, emails and separate systems, it creates:
- Confusion between teams.
- Costly production mistakes.
- Missing or outdated information.
- Endless admin and duplicated work.
- Compliance gaps that slip through the cracks.
All this contributes to delayed launches, rising workloads, higher costs and frustrating rework. And – ultimately – the cost is your creativity and commercial success.
Can you really afford not to have a PLM system?
Organisations using PLM software report up to a 30% reduction in product development cycle times.
Modern PLM tools with built-in intelligence can reduce product recall costs by as much as 50%.
If you’re feeling stretched, overwhelmed or always “one step behind”, you’re not alone.
Bombiix was created to change that.

Designed for product people
We’re product people, just like you.
Bombiix was born from one product developer’s frustrations with outdated, legacy PLMs.
She lived the late nights, the overwhelm and the constant fear of missed details and deadlines. So, when we say we get it, we really do.
Every decision we make is shaped by either our customer’s needs or our own experience in the industry, resulting in a platform that’s a true fit for product teams.
Loved by product teams, trusted by…
“As a forward-thinking business, we always seek solutions to boost efficiency and ease workloads. A PLM system was the logical choice for managing data in creating a Digital Product Passport. Switching to PLM brought big changes, but our team embraced it because Bombiix provided solutions that fit our processes—and most importantly, they wanted to use it.”

One word that I would use to describe my experience with Bombiix is fresh. Everything about the system and interface looks fresh and clean, but also the way the system is operated, the human touch. All of that is very fresh for me in the world of PLM. Bombiix is not just a software-driven computer robot system that looks like it’s from 1995.
