Hermes Logistics Technologies (HLT) has rolled out its latest cargo management system (CMS), Hermes 5 SaaS, in a fast switchover for the Georgi Group in Frankfurt.

The leading German logistics operator signed a contract with HLT to replace an existing CMS at its cargo handling facilities in Frankfurt and Leipzig/Halle, and, in just over two months, the service is live and fully functional in Frankfurt.

“The CMS implementation for Georgi was our quickest to date for a new customer, thanks to our new, automated rollout capabilities, Georgi’s openness to collaboration, and a German version of our learning management system,” said Yuval Baruch, CEO of Hermes Logistics Technologies.

“Georgi’s Frankfurt handling operation is a medium-sized terminal, and we have been able to install and stabilise the Hermes 5 SaaS CMS within a matter of weeks, which gives Georgi all the benefits of our cloud-based services sooner.”

HLT’s latest SaaS software is delivered entirely through automated coding and scripts, facilitating fast deployment; plus, with staff training through the new German-language version of the Hermes Learning Management System, the Georgi team could quickly get up to speed on the new CMS.

The on-demand LMS provides courses, videos, user guides, and FAQs, all designed to improve knowledge of the Hermes CMS and enhance digital proficiency in the air cargo industry.

“We were able to opt for an out-of-the-box solution from HLT, as it offered everything we needed to enhance our operations and the option to add further functionality in the future if needed,” said Benjamin Weil, CEO of Georgi Handling.

“I am impressed by the speed and efficiency of the implementation, which was in part facilitated by the Hermes LMS–the German language version allowed us to train staff quickly so they could use the new CMS without delay, saving us time and ensuring a smoother transition to a new system.”

Hermes 5 is now being rolled out at Leipzig/Halle airport, with completion expected in the coming weeks.
