Business Operations
Product and Technology
In Q1 2019, the Company successfully launched its new flagship offering Halo, at the MWC2019 in Barcelona. The event was attended by many of the world’s leading corporates from verticals that are prime commercial targets for Halo, and interest from potential customers was overwhelmingly positive, with over 200 sales leads generated at the event.
The Company considers Halo to be a potential “company maker” which could transform the scale and pace of the Company’s commercialisation as it focuses on larger contracts with multinational companies. Since its unveiling, the Company has already received strong interest from several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and is well placed to capitalise on the enormous market opportunities for Halo across many of the world’s fastest growing verticals, including unmanned vehicles and automotive, cyber security, network technology, telecommunications and aviation. Halo will be available for sale from July 2019.
At the same time, the Company continues its focus on driving sales of Rider and Multichannel and expects this to continue to deliver strong revenue growth in FY 2019.
Existing partners replace further repeat orders
During the quarter, Elsight received further repeat orders from Traffilog, Alrena and additional partners and customers, demonstrating the continued demand for the Company’s Rider and Multichannel products, which consistently have delivered repeat customer sales.
This provides further strong validation of the Company’s technology and provides a continued solid foundation for ongoing revenue growth in 2019.
Senior executive team appointments
Recent hires further bolstered Elsight’s leadership team, with the appointments of Dan Hilerowitz as Chief Financial Officer and Brad Wilmore as Australian General Manager during the period.
Dan brings extensive knowledge and experience directing multi-national and hi-tech companies, and Brad brings over 20 years of business development experience across a wide range of industries. The appointments further support Elsight in the execution of its strategic growth plans, and further enhance the Company’s sales capabilities in Australia.
Outlook
The Company expects the remaining nine months of 2019 to be highly active and to continue to deliver strong revenue growth over the period. The commercial launch of Halo remains on track for June and management is focused on actively pursuing and converting the already strong pipeline of opportunities in place for this technology.
A cloud-based customer interface solution is planned for launch in 4Q 2019 and is expected to add materially to customer experience. Recent appointments, both at the board and senior management level support the activation of significantly expanded Australian and Asian sales networks – as the Company
