With GaBi DfX you can…

• act on to the requirements of directives, laws and clients
• ensure your enterprise's cost effectiveness
• use one, transparent product model for all life cycle considerations
• economically manage product-relevant data and models with a single tool

Import directly from Bill of Materials

GaBi DfX is ideal for analysing very complex products such as from the transportation, aerospace or electronic sectors. It includes a standard interface to import LCA-relevant data directly from Bill of Materials (BOM). This very easy to handle and extremely powerful feature allows complex products or a large number of products to be analysed with in almost no time.

Customized solutions

We are happy to discuss customizing solutions for you to integrate GaBi DfX into your company-specific IT landscape.
