About BOS GLOBAL

BOS GLOBAL is a Software Company dedicated to making workforces more productive.

It does this through its patented platform built to capture and analyse activities as a smart way to help individuals to achieve greater levels of efficiency.

The platform known as BOS360 Work Patterns Platform as a Service ('BOS360 PaaS'), launched in May 2017, is unique in its ability to digitally render real time views of productivity in the form of Work Patterns at an individual, team or organisation level.

The platform comprises of three main business competencies;

1. Workplace Automation - How digital information (records and documents) is managed in the workplace.

   2.   Workforce Productivity - How people are spending their time at work 
   3.   Workplace Integrity - How workplace information is secured and validated. 

Each of these competencies are supported by a range of enterprise grade software products designed to perform a specific set of workforce functions. These products also act as both collectors and feeders of information to the BOS360 PaaS for use in the generation of Work Pattern reports and Workforce Analytics.

Since May 2017, BOS GLOBAL has six revenue generating products - BOS Meet, BOS Time, BOS360 PaaS and BOS Automate Suite since its first product launch (BOS Meet) in December 2016. For more information of how BOS GLOBAL products can help your workforce increase efficiency and productivity visit www.bos-360.com

BOS GLOBAL aims to generate re-occurring income through subscriptions of its BOS360 PaaS and supporting products, as well as through licensing of its patented Work Pattern technology. The Company's sales strategy is focused on building a global distribution partner network via Enterprise Software Vendors, Professional Services organisations and Consulting Practices.

The Company has a 40% equity interest in Call Design Pty Ltd, a profitable, Australian based, global provider of workforce management, focused particularly on call centre services, which has an established blue chip client base. This highly synergistic investment is expected to provide multiple cross-selling opportunities to both companies in line with BOS GLOBAL's strategy to deliver a comprehensive business optimisation offering globally. This investment includes the 1st Rights of Offer and Refusal for BOS GLOBAL to acquire the balance of Call Design on the same financial terms as the initial 40% investment

Call Design sets a new standard for Workforce Management, while BOS GLOBAL's software sets a new standard for Workforce Efficiency. Both products will be offered through BOS360 PaaS, setting a new standard for Workforce Analytics to give companies greater control in making informed, fact-based decisions on their operational activities; Workforce Analytics is a combination of software and methodology that applies statistical models to worker-related data, allowing enterprise leaders to optimise human and machine resources.

BOS GLOBAL Holdings Limited is an AIM listed company incorporated in Australia, operating from offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The Company also has a regional office in Hong Kong, responsible for the Asia-Pacific region and processing of large scale enterprise product sales with a greater than US$20 million revenue stream over an initial three-year contract term. Such deals include acquisitions and investments like the size of Call Design.

The Company is working towards its expanded London Office with its planned move of both Corporate and Board function to London in late 2017. Further, plans are well underway to increase its representation in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and North America with that of Call Design, and with offices on track to be established in 2017 in London and San Francisco respectively.
