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 make sure our software meets your needs, spotting areas for improvement and helping your team streamline and grow.
Having worked in hospitality, manufacturing, supply chain and agriculture, I bring a wealth of experience when it comes in creating digital solutions that tackle real-world challenges.
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.
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design and I understand the everyday struggles our customers face – the chaotic workflows, confusing email threads and out of date spreadsheets.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.
The concept for Bombiix was born from one product developer’s frustrations with outdated legacy PLMs.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design and I understand the everyday struggles our customers face – the chaotic workflows, confusing email threads and out of date spreadsheets.

Most effective PLMs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every industry builds products differently. There are a vast amount of PLM sectors with different needs.
Shifts in seasonality, sampling rounds, technical demands, compliance challenges, supplier networks and the day-to-day decisions that make or break a launch.
We understand it – we’ve lived it.
Our platform is built by product people who’ve worked across fashion, apparel, footwear, consumer goods, FMCG and lifestyle industries.
We know the late nights spent chasing missing data, the production setbacks caused by simple miscommunication, and the weight of trying to keep everything organised when your tools are fighting against you.
Below, we explore how PLM needs vary by industry – and how Bombiix adapts intuitively to each sector’s unique workflow.
When PLM systems promise to work for everyone, they often work for no one.
Generic PLM platforms force you into rigid templates, awkward workflows and endless workarounds.
And this only results in more chaos:
Bombiix takes a different approach.
Our platform is fully configurable, so not only can you adapt our PLM solutions by sector, you can also adapt them to your business.
You can tailor workflows, data fields, templates and reporting around your products, your supply chain and your regulatory requirements.
With Bombiix, you get a PLM that feels intuitive, supportive and genuinely useful because it’s built around real-world product development.
Below we detail some examples of how you can effectively use our PLM by industry:
Fashion is fast, multi-layered and deeply collaborative. Teams are balancing tight calendars, supplier dependencies, ever-evolving briefs and escalating compliance expectations. PLM in this sector has to keep pace with creativity and commercial pressure.
Critical paths reflect real fashion workflows, helping you track sampling, approvals, testing and production milestones across multiple styles and colourways. You can see exactly what’s on track, what’s at risk and where attention is needed, without chasing updates across emails and spreadsheets.
Design teams can collaborate on mood boards, trend insights and design briefs directly within the platform, keeping inspiration connected to live product data. Designers, developers and merchandisers stay aligned from day one, reducing rework later in the process.
Bombiix helps you manage supplier relationships with clarity and consistency. From materials and trims to testing, certifications and ethical audits, everything lives in one connected system. Suppliers can collaborate directly, speeding up communication while maintaining full traceability and accountability.
Footwear development comes with its own unique challenges.
Complex constructions, multiple components, precise fit requirements and extensive testing mean there’s little room for ambiguity.
Bombiix supports footwear teams with tools designed to handle technical detail, without overwhelming the people using them.
From size grading to material tolerances and construction notes, Bombiix keeps every technical detail clear, consistent and traceable. You can manage multiple size ranges, regions and fit standards within a single space, ensuring everyone – from internal teams to factories – works from the same source of truth.
Bombiix makes it easy to track materials, components and suppliers at every level. Changes are logged automatically, approvals are clear and teams can quickly understand how updates affect cost, lead times and compliance.
Consumer goods and electronics brands face growing pressure around compliance, safety and product variation.
As ranges expand and regulations tighten, managing data accurately becomes critical.
Track regulatory requirements, safety standards, test results and certifications directly against products, components and suppliers. Expiry dates, renewals and approvals are visible at a glance, keeping you audit-ready at all times.
From colourways and packaging formats to regional SKUs and technical specifications, Bombiix handles complex product data with ease. Manage variants from a single connected space – saving time, reducing errors and improving consistency across channels.
With Bombiix, sustainability isn’t a separate to-do list item, it’s embedded into your PLM from day one.
Track materials, suppliers, certifications and environmental impact in a way that reflects your sector’s specific challenges. Whether you’re managing fibres in fashion, components in footwear or compliance in consumer goods, sustainability data stays connected to your product lifecycle.
With built-in Digital Product Passport (DPP) capabilities, Bombiix helps you prepare for evolving regulations while giving consumers the transparency they increasingly expect.
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.
The unexpected element I've experienced using Bombiix is my own personal pre-knowledge of PLM systems and how they can be quite restrictive. Bombiix shows that you can have a PLM that is adaptable and flexible.
