BOS Better Online Solutions is a small Israeli company that distributes electromechanical components to defense and high-tech manufacturers, and provides inventory management technology and services. The company's core business is its Supply Chain Solutions division, which accounts for roughly 70% of revenue. BOS acts as a distributor and integrator of components — connectors, sensors, switches, cables, and related parts — from global manufacturers like Amphenol and Sensata, selling primarily to Israeli defense primes like Rafael, Elbit Systems, and IAI. BOS's sales engineers embed themselves in customers' R&D processes to get BOS components designed into new products; once specified, those components generate recurring production orders throughout the product's manufacturing life. The second major business is the RFID division (~27% of revenue), which helps Israeli retailers and food companies manage inventory using handheld scanners, RFID readers, and proprietary software that feeds real-time data into customers' ERP systems. This division also performs twice-yearly physical inventory counts at customer facilities, generating recurring service revenue. A smaller Intelligent Robotics division (~4% of revenue) builds custom robotic cells for Israeli defense manufacturers, primarily Elbit. BOS is growing by deepening its defense exposure — expanding its engineering team and manufacturer roster — and following Israeli defense customers into India, which has emerged as a major assembly hub. BOS is also pursuing acquisitions of profitable Israeli companies with defense or supply chain synergies, funded with its existing cash balance.
