EDI Messaging built for freight forwarders & 3pls

For Freight Forwarders & 3PLs, EDI messaging is where margins are won and lost on every departure. EDI integration is the biggest bottleneck in CMS implementation. Belli ships with pre-built EDI integrations supporting all IATA standard message types.

Belli's EDI messaging targets a measurable outcome — 3 day partner integration — and goes live in 10 days, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs

On the ground, the failure points are concrete.

  • Booking air cargo across airlines through fragmented portals and email
  • Re-keying data between forwarding software and airline EDI
  • Buy/sell rate management and margin tracking spread across spreadsheets

What changes with Belli

What freight forwarders & 3pls get instead:

  • Automated eAWB and HAWB creation with IATA ONE Record transmission
  • Buy/sell rate management with real-time margin visibility
  • Self-service customer portal with live tracking

Before Belli: EDI integration takes 6-12 months per partner. Message errors require manual investigation. After Belli: Pre-built integrations go live in days. Automated error resolution. Full ONE Record API support out of the box.

How Belli's EDI Messaging works

Under the hood, EDI messaging is engineered to remove the manual steps that slow freight forwarders & 3pls down.

In practice, that means message monitoring and error resolution dashboard, customs authority data submission, and cargo-XML and ONE Record API support. Belli also covers full Cargo-IMP message support (FWB, FHL, FFM, FSU, FBL). Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Going live in 10 days

There is no multi-quarter cutover here. Your existing integrations are reconnected, not rebuilt from scratch. Cutover happens with a Belli engineer on the line, not a ticket queue. Post-launch, changes ship continuously rather than waiting for a quarterly release.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs

The bottom line for freight forwarders & 3pls is direct. Manual workflows do not just cost hours — they cost yield on every departure. The return is specific, not aspirational — 3 day partner integration. This is no longer the frontier — it is the new baseline. See the live demo, or talk to an engineer the same day.
