Automated Air Waybill Management for Ground Handling Agents in Brazil

Modern air waybills for Ground Handling Agents in Brazil

Ground Handling Agents that depend on air waybills in Brazil can no longer absorb the cost of spreadsheet-and-email workarounds. 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. Latin American air cargo is driven by perishable exports, mining equipment, and growing e-commerce.

Operators routing through Santiago (SCL) and Panama City (PTY) — carriers in the class of LATAM Cargo, Aeromexico Cargo — 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 Brazil, not 12–18 months. Brazil deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in Brazil

Here is what actually breaks for ground handling agents in Brazil.

• Scanner and IoT device integration nightmares — compounded in Brazil by diverse customs systems: SISCOMEX (Brazil), VUCE (Peru), MUISCA (Colombia)
• Running separate systems for each airline customer — compounded in Brazil by growing e-commerce driving air freight demand
• Compliance gaps with varying airline SLAs
• Brazil-specific: SISCOMEX customs system. Portuguese language requirements. Complex tax regulations.

What changes with Belli

What ground handling agents get instead:

• Single platform serving all airline customers
• Real-time warehouse management with barcode/RFID integration
• SLA compliance tracking and automated reporting

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 Brazil

Belli's air waybills runs as one connected workflow, configured for Brazil from day one.

In practice, that means AWB amendment and correction workflows, house/Master AWB management, and automated tariff application and charge calculation. Belli also covers direct integration with revenue accounting against Brazil's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for Brazil's requirements

Running cargo in Brazil means living inside its rules, not around them. Latin American air cargo is driven by perishable exports, mining equipment, and growing e-commerce.

That shows up in the details: miami as primary gateway for Latin America-US cargo flows; mining and energy sector equipment cargo; and diverse customs systems: SISCOMEX (Brazil), VUCE (Peru), MUISCA (Colombia). Brazil adds its own layer — SISCOMEX customs system. Portuguese language requirements. Complex tax regulations. Carriers such as LATAM Cargo, Aeromexico Cargo, GOL Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Brazil

The migration is the opposite of a legacy rip-and-replace. Week one maps your data, rates, and EDI partners at Santiago (SCL). By go-live your operators are trained on the same workflows they already run in Brazil. A named engineer stays attached after launch — reachable 24/7, not via a portal.

The bottom line for Ground Handling Agents in Brazil

The bottom line for ground handling agents is direct. Each delayed integration is margin that never shows up on the P&L. Belli turns air waybills from a cost center into a measurable gain — 99% AWB accuracy. Operations through Santiago (SCL) move at this pace today. Start with the demo and a 10-day plan, not a pilot committee.
