Hermes Logistics Technologies supports Velora’s cargo and logistics rapid SaaS transition with minimal downtime
Abu Dhabi, UAE / London, UK – 26/11/2025
Hermes Logistics Technologies (HLT) and Velora have successfully completed the migration of Velora’s cargo and logistics management system from the on-premise Hermes deployment to the cloud-based SaaS version of the HLT ecosystem. The entire transition required only four hours of operational downtime, which is a significant achievement for both teams.
A major step in Velora’s digitalisation journey
This migration marks an important milestone in Velora’s ongoing digitalisation programme. It also reinforces the company’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence. By moving to the Hermes Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, Velora now has continuous access to the latest HLT software updates and enhancements. As a result, new capabilities can be delivered far faster than before.
In addition, the migration forms part of a wider innovation initiative launched under the renewed five-year contract between the two companies. This agreement strengthens their shared focus on long-term, sustainable digitalisation.
Benefits of the Hermes cloud ecosystem
By adopting the HLT SaaS platform, Velora gains a more agile, scalable and resilient environment. The Hermes Cloud is designed for high system availability, improved data security and a streamlined upgrade process. Therefore, ground handling teams can focus on operations rather than technical maintenance.
Meanwhile, the cloud architecture supports the rapidly evolving needs of air cargo organisations. It also enables faster deployment of new modules, analytics tools and integrations while maintaining strong standards for data protection and compliance.
CEO statement
Yuval Baruch, CEO of Hermes Logistics Technologies, commented:
“We are proud to support Velora in this major step forward. Completing such a complex migration with only four hours of downtime is a testament to the close collaboration between our teams and the robustness of the HLT SaaS platform. This transition will empower Velora with faster access to innovation, stronger performance, and an infrastructure ready for the next generation of digital air cargo.”
Setting a new standard for low-disruption migrations
HLT’s SaaS architecture provides customers with a fully managed, continuously evolving cargo management ecosystem. Therefore, clients can modernise at their own pace while reducing operational risk.
The successful transition for Velora demonstrates that large-scale cargo management migrations can be carried out smoothly and with minimal disruption. In turn, it sets a strong example for digital transformation across the wider air cargo sector.
