PLM solutions tailored to your industry sector
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.
Why industry-specific PLM matters
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:
- Teams revert to spreadsheets and email.
- Data becomes fragmented and unreliable.
- Lead times are stretched.
- Costs creep.
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 and apparel PLM
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.
Technical specifications and fit requirements
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.
Material and component tracking
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 PLM
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.
Compliance and certification management
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.
Multi-variant product management
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.
Sustainability across all sectors
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.

“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.
