Planning at SKU level is messy. Spreadsheets, version chaos and disconnected data across many platforms lead to teams relying on guesswork and increasing the risk of errors.
Bombiix brings your bottom-up planning into one smart, structured space. You’re free to plan by SKU, roll up by category, build POs instantly, with all your margin, markdown and channel data built in.

“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.
