We invested in Bombiix because we recognised the strength of its PLM offer and the impending EU requirement for Digital Product Passports.
With decades of experience investing in SMEs – from starting at 3i, to opening the Bahrain Development Bank and now co-owning Anticus – I’ve seen the challenges businesses face and the opportunities that come with them. Our role is to be a supportive investor, guiding Lucy in growing Bombiix and in future fundraising.

With experience across manufacturing, financial services, SaaS, e-commerce, and retail, I help Bombiix navigate growth while keeping a close eye on cash flow, performance and strategic alignment.
From the first time I met Lucy, I knew I wanted to work with her – she’s a breath of fresh air and the passion that fills her is infectious. It’s a pleasure to complement her skills in delivering the vision of Bombiix.

I joined Bombiix after being a customer – it’s hugely refreshing to see a platform that focuses on the needs of product people. After managing many global teams across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, FMCG, toiletries and cosmetics, sporting goods and apparel and fashion, I can see real potential in Bombiix, and I’m excited to lead the business and achieve it.

I created Bombiix because I was an exhausted, frustrated Head of Product who knew there had to be a better way to work
My experience is in garment technology, pattern cutting, product development and technical design and I understand the everyday struggles our customers face – the chaotic workflows, confusing email threads and out of date spreadsheets. So I created Bombiix to change all of that.
Why Bombiix?
The concept for Bombiix was born from one product developer’s frustrations with outdated legacy PLMs. So, when we say we get it, we really do. Whether you’re a growing start up or experienced enterprise, our team is with you every step of the way with personalised onboarding and ongoing support. My experience is in garment technology, pattern cutting, product development and technical design and I understand the everyday struggles our customers face – the chaotic workflows, confusing email threads and out of date spreadsheets. So I created Bombiix to change all of that.
Manage your entire product lifecycle, from initial concept and design through to development, manufacturing and bringing it to shelves.
Automate your Digital Product Passports in a way that’s affordable, scalable and removes the need for multiple complex systems.
Unify all your product information with an automated PIM that ensures consistency and accuracy while reducing workload and manual data entry.
Organise, store and access all your digital assets into a single, easy-to-use hub so you can effortlessly find, share and use content whenever you need to.
If your current PLM system is holding your team back - whether that's spreadsheet chaos, version lock-in, or a platform you've simply outgrown - you're not the first product team to feel stuck here.
We know an upgrade can feel like a huge, disruptive project, but it doesn't have to be.
Bombiix is built by product people who have been exactly where you are.
Below, we walk you through a practical, low-risk upgrade path, from working out what's actually going wrong with your current setup, to migrating your data and going live with a PLM that fits how you work, not the other way round.
Most legacy PLM systems were never designed with small to medium product teams in mind. They were built for enterprise IT departments with dedicated resources - and when you don't have that, every workaround becomes your problem to solve.
In fact, we often hear from brands, looking to replace their current PLM, that their current provider takes days to respond to a ticket, only to tell them they need to upgrade and it’s going to cost more.

Legacy platforms that haven’t moved with the times leave you vulnerable to several risks.
Firstly, you could face an increase in security risk if platforms aren’t being regularly updated.
What’s more, as integrations break and aren’t supported, your team relies on other tools and workarounds to “fix” the problem. And this leads to more time being spent on admin than product development.
Moving PLM doesn’t have to mean a disruptive rip-and-replace.
It should be a structured, phased move that starts with understanding how your team actually works today.
At Bombiix, we start with your workflows, not our system.
Document what's working and what isn't - functionality gaps, user frustrations, integration failures, compliance concerns, data quality issues.
Our team sits down with you to map it out together, so nothing important gets missed before you move.
Set clear objectives tied to real business outcomes: faster time to market, fewer data errors, better supplier communication and less admin.
Bombiix is fully user-defined, so these goals shape your configuration.
Your upgrade should be built around what you actually need, not what the software happens to offer.
A safe data migration comes down to a few essentials: auditing your existing data for redundancy or outdated records (sometimes called ROT data - redundant, obsolete or trivial), mapping it to your new structure, then validating and testing before anything goes live.
This may sound like months of painful IT work, but Bombiix's onboarding runs through direct chat and live sessions, so there are no ticketing queues, no waiting on someone else's schedule.
Unlike legacy PLMs that need heavy customisation and expensive development work to change anything, Bombiix is configured by you.
There’s no IT intervention required. The platform adapts to your design, sourcing and production workflows, so you're never forced to change how you work before you're ready to.
We monitor adoption, gather feedback from your team and keep shaping our roadmap around what real customers actually need.
We're always listening - because an upgrade with Bombiix is the start of a relationship and not a one-off implementation.
Traditional PLM often locks you into a version, then charges you to leave it - new licences, paid feature tiers, lengthy re-implementation projects just to stay current. Bombiix runs on a single modern stack with one transparent subscription. No version lock-in, no surprise upgrade bill.
Bombiix is built with an API-first, modular architecture that connects with the tools you already rely on - including e-commerce marketplaces, CAD and ERP tools - without complex middleware standing in the way.
Implementation through direct chat and live sessions with our team, not a project plan that stretches across two quarters. Where traditional rollouts can take the better part of a year, Bombiix teams are typically up and running - and seeing real value - within weeks.
Once you're up and running on Bombiix, here's what changes:
As sustainability disclosure requirements tighten, particularly for fashion and lifestyle brands, having compliance built into your platform from day one - not bolted on later - puts you ahead rather than scrambling to catch up.
We've been in your shoes, and we know an upgrade can feel like a big step.
