挑战

Bolt Threads faced several challenges in their quest to develop new, high-quality biomaterials. Their project data was spread across more than ten systems, creating information bottlenecks and making it difficult to find and aggregate data from upstream experiments to inform downstream production processes. Their existing information management system was not flexible enough to adapt to Bolt’s ever-changing, materials-specific workflows. Legacy tools required time-intensive, manual data capture, and made collaboration logistically challenging – all of which slowed progress and hindered speed of innovation.

关于客户

Bolt Threads is a material solutions company that is building better materials for a better world. Their products range from Mylo ™material, a mycelium-based alternative to leather, to b-silk™ protein, a proprietary clean beauty breakthrough inspired by the silk spun by spiders. In partnership with brand customers like adidas, Kering, lululemon, and Stella McCartney, Bolt Threads is putting the fashion and apparel industry on a path to a more sustainable future, and making fungus the hottest fashion trend. The company is headquartered in California and has over 100 employees.

解决方案

Bolt Threads implemented Benchling to centralize and standardize all R&D data and processes. This led to more efficient workflows and improved collaboration, driving more informed scientific and operational decision making. With Benchling, Bolt’s data, which was previously spread across systems, is now centralized and standardized. With experimental data across their R&D teams available in a single place, there’s no debate about which data source should be used to make business decisions, and end-to-end sample visibility gives scientists and decision makers deeper insights that accelerate development. Bolt’s team of 60+ scientists across the U.S. and Europe can now collaboratively track and manage both individual tasks and overarching projects to simplify handoffs, scale up output, and streamline multi-step development processes.
