SCOPE

Hotwire rescued a Bosse Tools, a successfully Kickstarter funded startup, from a failed product design by a highly rated California design and engineering firm. We then expanded our role to include manufacturing liaison, sustaining engineering, marketing and business development.

 

Bosse’s snow shovel became a “Hot New Release” on Amazon upon its introduction and its commercial market products have been purchased by the biggest companies in their industries including the likes of McCarthy Construction, Republic Waste Services and Pacific Gas and Electric.

 

Most recently Hotwire spearheaded the licensing of Bosse’s technology to one of the largest tool manufacturers in North America – expect to see shovels with Bosse’s unique ergonomic design big box hardware stores soon.
