Cargo Management Systems (CMS) provider Hermes Logistics Technologies (HLT) has welcomed back Simon Elmore as Chief Operations Officer (COO) as it continues to expand and innovate its New Generation (NG) Cargo Management Ecosystem with new applications and services.

Elmore returns to the role after a two-year absence, during which he worked as a consultant on a number of aviation and e-commerce projects. He was one of the team to design, build, and deliver the original Hermes CMS, whose latest version is called Hermes 5.

“This is a very exciting time for HLT, with so many possibilities for widening and aligning the product range,” said Simon Elmore.

Elmore, who has nearly 25 years’ experience in the aviation industry, is focusing on team building and development, as well as improving the overall customer and product experience.

“We have seen a steep increase in Hermes 5 implementations and process optimisation projects for this quarter and expect this momentum to continue into quarter two,” said Simon Elmore.

“The pandemic has made in-person project tasks impossible, but I am satisfied to see that our virtual analyses strategies and customer project connections are working quite well.

“Future-proofing our virtual implementation strategy will be a big focus over the next few months, although we would love to get back to in-person implementations as soon as it is safe to do so.”
