Hermes Logistics Technologies (HLT) has rolled out its latest cargo management system (CMS) for the Georgi Group in Frankfurt.
The German logistics and road feeder services specialist signed a contract with HLT in May to replace an existing CMS at its cargo handling facilities at Frankfurt and Leipzig/Halle airports and the Hermes 5 SaaS service is now live in Frankfurt.
Speaking about the process, which took just over two months, HLT chief executive Yuval Baruch, said: “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.
“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. UK-based Hermes added that with staff training through the new German-language version of the Hermes Learning Management System (LMS), the Georgi team were able to quickly get up to speed on the new CMS.
The on-demand LMS provides courses, videos and user guides 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, chief executive 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.
