Hermes activates SaaS product across Groundforce Portugal operations

Hermes Logistics Technologies' latest cloud-based cargo management system, Hermes 5 Software as a Service (SaaS), is now live across all Groundforce Portugal’s cargo stations at Lisbon, Porto and Funchal, following a fully automated implementation process.

Hermes invested in months of technological installation, configuration, and activation development to ensure its SaaS software was delivered entirely by automated coding and scripts, says an official release. "Hence, it negates the need for manual intervention and brings incredible efficiency and uniformity to the implementation process."

Yuval Baruch, Chief Executive Officer, Hermes says: "Migrating Groundforce Portugal from a legacy, on-site solution to our latest Hermes 5 managed service demonstrates Hermes's unwavering drive to embrace technology which will enhance its products and services. Leveraging the latest automated platform deployment and management techniques enabled us to complete the migration very quickly, and the entire process demonstrates our commitment to working closely with our customers to deliver greater operational efficiency and business growth."

Through its managed service, Hermes now maintains and monitors the ground handler's servers, managing software updates, performing regular security audits, and recognising and actively solving any issues before they arise, the release added.

"The fully automated installation ensures unparalleled scalability, allowing Hermes 5 SaaS to be deployed across further stations easily, efficiently, and uniformly when required by the ground handler, as it continues to scale its digital operations."

The go-live represents the continuation of a series of successful migrations to Hermes 5 SaaS as the technology provider rolls out its latest CMS and ecosystem of cargo management solutions across Europe, the release added.
