Menzies chooses Hermes 5 cargo software

Menzies Aviation has selected Hermes Logistics Technologies to provide the Cargo Management System (CMS) for its global network.

The most recent version of Hermes’ CMS, Hermes 5 (H5), will be rolled out at Menzies cargo facilities from the first quarter of next year.

“We selected H5 as our cargo management system because it was clear Hermes offers the most advanced solutions in the market,” commented Robert Fordree, EVP Cargo, Menzies Aviation. “Hermes is in our DNA; we have a shared history and working with them means that we are uniquely positioned to take full advantage of the depth of functionality H5 has to offer. Sustainably growing our cargo business is a key part of our future strategy, and H5 will be integral to our toolset for achieving our growth trajectory.”

Menzies Aviation operates cargo handling facilities in nearly 40 airports across six continents, handling over 1.6m tonnes of cargo in 2018.

Said Yuval Baruch, CEO of Hermes Logistics Technologies, “Hermes 5 represents the future of cargo management solutions, its open architecture allows for full integration into cargo ecosystems, from warehouses to airports.

“One of the key benefits of Hermes 5 is its scalability, making it the ideal solution for a network like Menzies’ which includes small, medium, and large sized operations,” he continued. “The standardisation and open connectivity of the platform means complete compatibility and data-sharing across their logistics facilities and services.”

H5 was launched last year and customers already span the globe, including Hanoi Airport, RSA National, LuxairCARGO, and most recently CHS Trade in Slovakia.
