VG Cargo, an air cargo handler, has entered into a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) migration agreement with Hermes Logistics Technologies. This deal involves shifting VG Cargo's existing Hermes 5 Cargo Management System from its current on-premise infrastructure to a cloud-based, fully managed environment. The primary objective of this transition is to decrease the operational demands associated with infrastructure and ongoing maintenance. Furthermore, the move is expected to boost the system's scalability and resilience, ensuring more robust and efficient management of cargo operations.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this development signifies a potential improvement in the efficiency and reliability of cargo handling processes at facilities operated by VG Cargo. A more resilient and scalable cargo management system can lead to smoother operations, potentially reducing delays and improving data accuracy for shipments moving through their hubs. This technological upgrade could contribute to better turnaround times and more predictable service levels, which are critical factors for forwarders managing tight schedules and client expectations.
