Hermes 5 goes live for Etihad Airport Services Cargo in Abu Dhabi

Hermes Logistics Technologies (HLT) has upgraded the Etihad Airport Services Cargo (EASC) hub in Abu Dhabi to the latest version of its cargo management system (CMS).

This follows a contract renewal that will also see the airline utilise the Hermes Business Intelligence add-on, according to a press release from Hermes.

Hermes 5 is HLT’s latest function-rich cargo management system and forms the core of the Hermes ecosystem, a suite of pay-as-you-go cargo management solutions that include business intelligence, track & trace and a learning management system.

“We are pleased to see Etihad Airport Services Cargo going live with our latest Hermes 5 on-premises in Abu Dhabi. We have worked with the company since 2015, and our teams have collaborated closely on this implementation to ensure a smooth switch-over”: says Yuval Baruch, Chief Executive Officer, Hermes Logistics Technologies.

In addition to the operational efficiency and new functionality of the upgraded CMS, EASC will benefit from an enhanced version of Hermes Business Intelligence, a comprehensive dashboard reporting tool based on Hermes’ extensive data lakes. The combination of these solutions will help the company with operational insight so it can make better-informed decisions, says the release.

Naresh Ranganathan, Acting Vice President, Etihad Airport Services Cargo adds: “Our upgrade to Hermes 5 has been a success, owing to the strong collaboration between Hermes Logistics Technologies and our teams.”

Recent commitments will see Hermes’ latest technology being deployed at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Cairo International Airport and a number of Portuguese airports, the release added.
