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design and I understand the everyday struggles our customers face – the chaotic workflows, confusing email threads and out of date spreadsheets.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The concept for Bombiix was born from one product developer’s frustrations with outdated legacy PLMs.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design and I understand the everyday struggles our customers face – the chaotic workflows, confusing email threads and out of date spreadsheets.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.
Nonprofits and social enterprises often struggle to balance complex product lifecycles with limited resources and strict ethical standards.
Bombiix provides a streamlined Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution to eliminate the stress and hidden costs of spreadsheets.
Built by product people who understand your need for transparency and impact, our PLM lets you manage everything from sustainable sourcing to final delivery in one space.
Every hour your team spends scrolling through shared spreadsheets for answers is an hour not spent moving your mission forward.
Manual tracking creates duplication, opens up the chance of human error and makes it impossible to get a single, reliable view of where your products stand.
Accountability becomes blurred and the people who care most about the work end up absorbing the fallout.
Consumers, auditors and regulators aren't just asking "is this product ethically made?" anymore. They're asking "show me."
Certifications, supplier declarations, testing results, material origins - all of it needs to be accurate, current and easy to produce on demand.
When that data lives in disconnected spreadsheets, shared drives and email inboxes, gaps appear fast:
Every growing brand hits the point where "getting by" stops working. The spreadsheets crack, the workarounds pile up, and the systems that got you here can't take you further.
Professional scale means trading the patchwork for one connected home for your product data - specs, BOMs, costings and suppliers all in sync, so your team spends less time chasing updates and more time doing the work that actually grows the business.
You've outgrown getting by. It's time your tools caught up.
Bombiix is the perfect PLM for nonprofits. But don’t just take our word for it, check out our features designed for mission-driven product management:
Sustainability built into your workflow. Track environmental, social and governance metrics at any supplier level, flag compliance gaps and give stakeholders a clear, auditable view of your supply chain at any point in time.
And now thanks to our partnership with EmVide by Riskoa, you can be confident the data is governed and practitioner-assured, built to recognised standards (EN 15804+A2 and the wider LCA/EPD framework).
Every product brief, supplier spec, approval and revision lives in one place that's searchable, version-controlled and visible to the right people. No more chasing updates over email. No more "which version is current?" conversations. Everyone works from the same place.
Nonprofit teams are often spread across geographies and time zones. Bombiix is designed exactly for that reality - a user-friendly interface with role-based access so volunteers and part-time contributors see exactly what they need and nothing they do not.
Bombiix was built with teams like yours in mind - designed by real product people who have walked in your shoes.
Many PLMs for nonprofits publish attractive subscription prices but hide the true cost behind additional services, such as support and onboarding.
Our pricing is clear from the beginning - we don’t do hidden tiers or surprise onboarding charges. Simply pay for the package you signed up for, all of which include installation fees and support.
Implementation of legacy PLMs often takes around six months to a year to get up and running, especially for nonprofits who rely on volunteer staff.
With Bombiix, we get you up and running within months, sometimes weeks, and you’re supported by our team every step of the way - configuration, migration and training - so you’re not left to figure it out alone.
Nonprofits often operate with small teams and tight budgets - even relying on volunteers to run efficiently. Legacy PLM systems simply weren’t built with your needs in mind.
Instead, they’re designed for global enterprises with access to the money and staff resources required for long implementations and onboarding.
This leaves a gap - where small teams have a choice between paying a premium price for features they won’t use or having to string together multiple systems and spreadsheets to fit around their workflow.
Sustainable product development software should not just help you manage products, it should help you demonstrate that your products are aligned with the values your organisation exists to uphold.
Digital Product Passports are rapidly becoming both a regulatory requirement and a stakeholder expectation across fashion, lifestyle, and consumer goods. A DPP creates a verifiable, accessible record of a product's origins, materials, environmental impact, and supply chain journey. Bombiix makes generating and managing DPPs straightforward, pulling all your existing product data automatically to create a passport in seconds.
Overproduction is one of the most significant sources of waste in product development, and one of the most preventable if you have the right tools. When your planning data is fragmented across spreadsheets and you can’t fully trust the numbers, over-ordering becomes the norm. Centralised, accurate data in a PLM means tighter forecasting, less surplus and lower costs.
For social enterprises, a circular economy is about fairness.
Wherever possible, it means closing the loop - making sure that as a product reaches the end of its life, its true value isn’t lost but captured through the right reuse, resale or recycling scheme.
Whether your mission involves upcycled materials, fair-trade sourcing, or closed-loop supply chains, Bombiix gives you the infrastructure to track and communicate it:
All this helps you stand the best chance of delivering to the values of the social enterprise.
If you’ve spent years patching together spreadsheets, shared drives and workarounds that never quite work, Bombiix is for you.
And getting started doesn’t mean a lengthy, expensive implementation process.
Nonprofits shouldn’t have to choose between staying lean and having the right tools. Bombiix is built to give growing teams access to intelligent, automated product management without the expensive price tag. From automatic BOM calculations and live costing updates to built-in compliance tracking, you get powerful functionality that saves your team hours each week.
It’s time to free up time and budget for the mission that matters most.
When you have a question, the last thing you need is to wait days for a generic reply. With Bombiix, you get real support from real people who understand your product processes and are invested in helping you succeed.
We don’t use impersonal ticketing systems, just responsive, knowledgeable help whenever you need it, so your team stays moving and your products keep progressing.
