Cacesa, a leading air cargo logistics operator, has chosen Bytemaster for its cloud strategy. Cacesa will thus streamline its IT operations in order to respond to the growing demand for its air cargo services.
Last September, Cacesa took an important step in its digitization strategy by relying on Bytemaster to host, manage and support its entire information structure and systems. Cacesa, a member of the IAG group of airlines, is a leader in customs management of air cargo.
Cacesa is currently in a rapid process of business growth. This growth demands more agility in its air cargo transport structure. For this reason, it began a vendor selection process to bring all its IT operations to the cloud. The objective is to outsource these services and gain competitiveness in the market. As Jose Ramón López, Financial Director of CACESA explains, "at Cacesa we had always been clear that technology was one of the keys to success in the transport and logistics sector. Hence our permanent commitment to always be one step ahead in this area.
Consolidation of a long-lasting partnership
"Bytemaster has accompanied us for almost two decades on this complex path. With the incorporation of your cloud solution, we are taking a qualitative leap that we are sure will allow us to continue growing together".
JOSÉ RAMÓN LÓPEZ
Chief Financial Officer at Cacesa
Cacesa and bytemasterhave a long history of collaboration. From the beginning, Cacesa was one of the four companies that actively collaborated in the definition of ERP functionalities for Bytemaster logistics operators, _b first. This collaboration ensured the adaptation of _b first to the real needs of the market.
Until now, Cacesa operated _b firstin an on-premise format. In addition to the customs managementBytemaster provides Cacesa with communications and systems solutions, and actively collaborates in the optimization of its business operations. José Ramón points out: "Now, with the advent of e-commerce, technology is no longer one of the keys. It is success itself, because it has become part of the very service we sell. Because of this, and because we believe in long-term and trusting relationships, Bytemaster has accompanied us for almost two decades on this complex path. With the incorporation of their Cloud service, we are making a qualitative leap that we are sure will allow us to continue growing together.
The Cacesa Cloud Project
This new Cacesa digitization project has consisted of taking the operation of its ERP _b firstto Bytemaster's private cloud. In addition, the e-mail service and operational business information is taken to the cloud. The project includes a PaaS service for the hosting of your website and management of Cacesa's own services. The deployment of a business continuity plan is also planned. This will ensure continuity of business operations in the face of extreme contingencies.
Successful migration in record time
One of the critical points of the project was undoubtedly the migration of IT operations from Cacesa to Bytemaster's private cloud. This migration should ensure continuity of service and minimize the associated risks.
To ensure a correct migration, Bytemaster was responsible for managing all communication circuits. It also deployed all the necessary equipment to ensure VPN access to Bytemaster's private cloud from all branches.
The migration took place in record time. There were low impact incidences that allowed the normal operative work in the times agreed in all the delegations of Cacesa.
Excellence in customer service
Bytemaster's cloud service will serve Cacesa and its seven Spanish delegations. In total, 115 users and a volume of operations that includes more than 30,000 customs offices per day. The service will respond to the customer 24/7, with a guarantee of global service availability. In this way, Cacesa now has a technology partner that allows it to increase its competitiveness, ensuring the optimal flow of information from your organization.
