With over 15 years specializing in manufacturing ERP systems, Mitch founded Hermes Manufacturing Partners on a simple principle: manufacturers deserve independent, expert guidance free from vendor bias.
We help businesses make critical ERP decisions by partnering with companies and providing clear guidance while helping stabilize and formalize internal processes. After leading 25+ successful implementations, Mitch recognized that most consultants are tied to specific vendors. Hermes Manufacturing Partners was built to be different—100% independent, focused solely on what works best for your operation.
