Cargo EDI Messaging & Integration for Ground Handling Agents

Modern EDI messaging for Ground Handling Agents

Ground Handling Agents that depend on EDI messaging can no longer absorb the cost of spreadsheet-and-email workarounds. 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 Ground Handling Agents

On the ground, the failure points are concrete.

• Paper-based ULD acceptance and handover processes
• Scanner and IoT device integration nightmares
• Running separate systems for each airline customer

What changes with Belli

What ground handling agents get instead:

• Airline customer portal with live shipment visibility
• SLA compliance tracking and automated reporting
• Real-time warehouse management with barcode/RFID integration

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

Belli's EDI messaging runs as one connected workflow.

In practice, that means cargo-XML and ONE Record API support, customs authority data submission, and message monitoring and error resolution dashboard. 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

Switching is the part most ground handling agents dread — Belli compresses it into ten working days. The first days are spent migrating live bookings, tariffs, and message flows. The team is live and supported before the old system is switched off. After go-live you keep direct access to the engineers who built the system.

The bottom line for Ground Handling Agents

The decision comes down to one question. Doing nothing has a price, and it compounds every flight. Belli turns EDI messaging from a cost center into a measurable gain — 3 day partner integration. The best operators already move at this pace. Start with the demo and a 10-day plan, not a pilot committee.
