Hermes Logistics Technologies (HLT) has announced that its latest cloud-based Hermes SaaS Ecosystem is set to be rolled out across CACC Cargolinx’s operations at Cairo International Airport in time for summer 2024.

The new agreement follows a 12-year collaboration with HLT and will see the cargo-specialised ground handler upgrade its cargo management system by migrating to Hermes 5 SaaS.

In addition, CACC Cargolinx will benefit from several integrations and solutions from the Hermes pay-as-you-go Ecosystem, designed to drive further efficiencies for the company – Hermes Business Intelligence, Hermes Track & Trace, and Hermes Integration (API).

Yuval Baruch, chief executive of HLT, said: “We have undertaken a very thorough scoping study with CACC Cargolinx, deploying our air cargo experts to uncover not only the company’s existing requirements but also those expected in the future, and we have tailored our solution, ensuring it is future-proofed.”

“This project demonstrates our commitment to collaborating with our customers and our detailed approach to SaaS migrations, particularly when it comes to factoring in future innovation – it all comes down to delivering greater operational efficiency that will support business growth for the longest possible term.”

HLT says it has worked closely with CACC Cargolinx to assess the business’ requirements and deliver a tailored, future-proofed solution for the organisation.

The upgrade will see the company further digitalise its evolving operating environment, address all existing process gaps, and implement best-practice approaches to address anticipated future needs for its operations in Cairo and beyond.

Ahmed Fahmy, chief technology officer from CACC Cargolinx, said: “CACC Cargolinx is committed to delivering advanced logistics operations at Cairo International Airport, and our investment in the Hermes Ecosystem represents a significant step forward in our digitalisation roadmap.”

“We are committed to providing our customers with the most efficient and reliable cargo handling services possible, and the Hermes Ecosystem will empower us to achieve that goal and further solidify our position as a leader in the air cargo handling industry.

CACC Cargolinx says that the cloud-based SaaS ecosystem will play a part in driving even greater efficiencies for its airline customers in Cairo and beyond.
