Automated Air Waybill Management for Ground Handling Agents — North America

Modern air waybills for Ground Handling Agents in North America

For Ground Handling Agents in North America, air waybills is where margins are won and lost on every departure. 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 Memphis (MEM) and Miami (MIA) — carriers in the class of CargoJet, ABX 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 North America, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality in North America

The friction is specific, not generic.

• Manual warehouse slotting and inbound/outbound tracking — compounded in North America by USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation
• Paper-based ULD acceptance and handover processes — compounded in North America by US ACAS mandatory pre-departure filing
• No real-time inventory visibility for airline customers

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

• Automated ULD acceptance, build-up, and handover
• Airline customer portal with live shipment visibility
• Single platform serving all airline customers

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.
