Hermes Logistics Technologies (HLT) and Velora have successfully completed the migration of Velora’s cargo and logistics management system from the on-premise Hermes deployment to the cloud-based SaaS version of the HLT ecosystem with an operational downtime of only four hours.

This achievement marks a significant milestone in Velora’s ongoing digitalisation journey and its commitment to innovation and operational excellence. By transitioning to the Hermes Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, Velora gains continuous access to the latest HLT software updates and enhancements, ensuring faster implementation of new capabilities and features. The migration forms part of a broader innovation initiative launched under the recently renewed five-year contract, reinforcing the joint commitment to sustainable digitalisation.

The move to SaaS enables Velora to benefit from a more agile, scalable, and resilient infrastructure that supports the rapidly evolving needs of air cargo operations. Built for performance, the Hermes Cloud environment offers high system availability, optimised data security, and a streamlined upgrade process that allows ground handling teams to focus on operational efficiency rather than technical maintenance.

Yuval Baruch, CEO of Hermes Logistics Technologies, commented:

“We are proud to support Velora in this major step forward. Completing such a complex migration with only four hours of downtime is a testament to the close collaboration between our teams and the robustness of the HLT SaaS platform. This transition will empower Velora with faster access to innovation, stronger performance, and an infrastructure ready for the next generation of digital air cargo.”

HLT’s SaaS architecture provides clients with a fully managed, continuously evolving ecosystem designed to meet the challenges of modern cargo handling. By leveraging cloud technology, Velora can now deploy new modules, analytics tools, and integrations more efficiently while maintaining industry-leading standards for data protection and compliance.

The collaboration between HLT and Velora continues to set a benchmark for digital excellence within the air cargo sector, demonstrating that large-scale operational migrations can be executed seamlessly and with minimal disruption.
