Air Waybills built for airlines in United States

Across United States, Airlines run air waybills on infrastructure that wasn't built for how air cargo moves today. The air waybill is the fundamental contract of carriage in air cargo. Belli automates the entire AWB lifecycle — from electronic creation and rating through to carrier messaging and revenue accounting. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

Operators routing through Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Anchorage (ANC) — carriers in the class of WestJet Cargo, Atlas Air — face the same pressure: more volume, tighter slots, and zero tolerance for a load plan that leaves revenue on the ramp. Belli's air waybills targets a measurable outcome — 99% AWB accuracy — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in United States, not 12–18 months. United States deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in United States

On the ground in United States, the failure points are concrete.

  • Legacy CMS contracts locking you into 18-month implementations — compounded in United States by TSA CCSP compliance
  • Fragmented systems across booking, warehouse, and revenue — compounded in United States by CBP ACE customs integration
  • Manual load planning costing revenue on every flight
  • United States-specific: ACE customs system. ACAS pre-departure filing. TSA screening compliance.

What changes with Belli

What airlines get instead:

  • 12% average revenue recovery in first quarter
  • AI-powered load planning on every departure
  • 24/7 access to real cargo software engineers

Before Belli: Manual AWB entry takes 8-12 minutes per shipment. Error rates of 15-25% cause billing disputes and revenue leakage. After Belli: Automated AWB creation in under 30 seconds. Error rates below 1%. Zero billing disputes from AWB data quality.

How Belli's Air Waybills works in United States

The mechanics are built for throughput, not paperwork — whether cargo moves through Chicago O'Hare (ORD) or a dozen stations.

In practice, that means IATA e-AWB compliance and transmission, AWB amendment and correction workflows, and direct integration with revenue accounting. Belli also covers automated tariff application and charge calculation against United States's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for United States's requirements

Running cargo in United States means living inside its rules, not around them. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

That shows up in the details: e-commerce fulfillment cargo growth; canada PACT pre-load targeting requirements; and TSA CCSP compliance. United States adds its own layer — ACE customs system. ACAS pre-departure filing. TSA screening compliance. Carriers such as WestJet Cargo, Atlas Air, CargoJet operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in United States

Go-live is measured in days, and the date is contractual. Master data and partner connections are stood up against a real test load. Operators train on their own cargo, so day one feels familiar. After go-live you keep direct access to the engineers who built the system.

The bottom line for Airlines in United States

Strip away the demos and it is about outcomes. Doing nothing has a price, and it compounds every flight. The platform targets a concrete number: 99% AWB accuracy. The benchmark has already shifted; the only question is when you match it. Book the demo and get a go-live date in the same conversation.
