Migrated off Backbone
Backbone vs Rechain
Backbone was built over 10 years ago. Why work with a legacy system when you can power your business with a modern solution.
Key reasons to shift
Critical Path & Costing Support
Rechain provides native critical path management and integrated costing across development and production. Track milestones, dependencies, and cost changes in real time to anticipate delays, and make informed decisions without relying on spreadsheets or external tools.
Supplier Collaboration
Rechain enables direct, structured collaboration with suppliers around samples, POs, timelines, and approvals. Conversations, files, and actions live in context, reducing back-and-forth emails and misalignment. Backbone offers more static data sharing, with fewer workflow-driven interactions for suppliers.
Integrations with your ERP, Shopify and more
Rechain is built to connect seamlessly with your existing stack, including ERP systems, Shopify, and downstream tools. Data flows automatically across systems, ensuring consistency from product creation to sell-through. Backbone offers fewer native integrations, often requiring manual work or third-party connectors to keep systems in sync.
“100% of our Backbone data was migrated to Rechain over a weekend”
Ana M.
Product Manager
When we first considered Rechain, we were hesitant about switching from our old system. But the transition was smooth, and the impact was immediate. Tasks that used to take hours now only take minutes. It’s like having an extra team member!
Stephanie S.
Senior Product Developer
We’ve reduced the time spent creating Tech Packs by 80%. On top of that, support is very reactive when we need it! The transition from our previous system took a couple of weeks, and all of our data was properly migrated.
Mark H.
Head of Product
I can’t speak highly enough of Rechain’s team and platform. From onboarding to daily use, everything has been exceptional. Their customer support went above and beyond to ensure we made the most of it.

"“Even with Backbone, we were still relying on a lot of spreadsheets outside the PLM and spending too much time on manual data entry. Moving to Rechain was a big shift for us. Eight years of historical data migrated seamlessly, and the NetSuite integration was set up smoothly. Now everything lives in one place, and our team can finally focus on the work that matters."
