Cristine Dotto has run her own company, Back Office Solutions LLC, (BOS), for the last two years. As the head of BOS, she manages supply chain operations, analyzes and collect data, and outsources information to an international platform to fulfill the client’s needs. Coming from a background in logistics, she decided to branch out on her own because she knew she had the skills to work directly with clients and help them achieve their goals.
 
What BOS is all about:
 
BOS is your provider of end-to-end soft and hard line goods supply chain back office services. Built on decades of supply chain experience, we leverage our knowledge of the soft and hard line goods market and manufacturing, retail, and warehouse contacts to efficiently process shipments and transactions.
 
BOS solves supply chain challenges before they become problems. Our knowledge of back office data processing means customers avoid wasting time tracking inventory or managing payments so they can focus on design, manufacturing, and sales.
Drawing upon nearly three decades of supply chain experience, BOS has overseen hundreds of commercial transmissions and managed SKU profiles for retail accounts valued as high as $450 million. We understand every level of the soft goods supply chain, including electronic data interchanges, customer compliant bills of lading and required manifests, and inventory tracking standards.
 
Customers depend on BOS to adapt to their systems, not the other way around. We facilitate data entry and processing via Quickbooks, Excel, Envision ERP, VSR, AMT and other systems, working with clients’ existing recordkeeping practices and integrating efficient facilitated data entry practices.
 
Our relationships in key global markets like China and India mean we are positioned to secure inexpensive labor and offset our clients’ expenses. Meanwhile, we are immediately prepared to connect software suppliers, manufacturers and retailers. By limiting the cost of doing business and minimizing startup time, we increase customers’ bottom line.
Having studied business, looking ahead Cristine hopes to become more involved in professional societies and chambers. She would like to expand her clientele and eventually open an office in the United States. She credits her success to always being honest and hard working.
