Tops-Down Planning
Connect financial goals with real product data
Setting sales targets without full visibility is not only frustrating, it’s risky. With Bombiix, everyone works from the same live planning dashboard, keeping you aligned, informed and ready to make moves.

Tops down planning that’s grounded, flexible and achievable
Seasonal targets often feel disconnected from real product data. Teams are left translating spreadsheets into plans, second-guessing decisions and scrambling to hit goals that weren’t built with them in mind.
Bombiix bridges strategy with execution. Link margin targets to real SKUs, assortments and timelines. Track performance in real time. Plan with clarity, confident that your numbers match what’s really happening on the ground.

“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.

From vision to execution
Strategic planning with real product impact. Most systems make you choose between business goals and product data. Bombiix brings it all together, so your product strategy, financial targets and plans can finally speak the same language.
Targets that guide your season
Turn financial targets into confident buying decisions. Create season-level targets by revenue, units, sales per option and more. With Bombiix, it’s easy to use your targets to shape real product decisions, plan across years or seasons and align to business growth.
Forecast margin, markdown and profitability
Bombiix gives you the tools to balance creativity with commercial impact, allowing you to plan margin, markdowns, and profitability at the point of decision. No more backtracking after a range is built – plan your buy with profit in mind from day one.
See the impact in real time
Tops-down planning should evolve, not stay frozen. With Bombiix, you can flex your plans as the season unfolds. Compare forecasts to actuals, spot issues early, and tweak your strategy before it’s too late. You’re always one step ahead.
Tailor metrics to your business
Every brand measures success differently. That’s why Bombiix allows you to customise the metrics that matter to your brand. Whether you prioritise margin mix, sell-through or channel performance, you’re free to make your planning space your own.
