Cargo Management System for Freight Forwarders in Germany

Multi-carrier booking, eAWB automation, and end-to-end shipment visibility for forwarders and 3PLs moving air cargo across airlines and lanes.

Why freight forwarders & 3pls in Germany choose Belli for cargo management

For Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Germany, cargo management is where margins are won and lost on every departure. European air cargo is governed by the most complex regulatory environment in the world including EU ICS2 and ACC3 requirements.

Operators routing through London Heathrow (LHR) — carriers in the class of airBaltic, Cargolux — face the same pressure: more volume, tighter slots, and zero tolerance for a load plan that leaves revenue on the ramp. Belli's cargo management targets a measurable outcome — 12% revenue recovery — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in Germany, not 12–18 months. Germany deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in Germany

On the ground in Germany, the failure points are concrete.

  • Manual eAWB and house manifest creation duplicated in every carrier system — compounded in Germany by UK PreDICT post-Brexit customs requirements
  • Booking air cargo across airlines through fragmented portals and email — compounded in Germany by GDPR compliance for all customer and shipment data processing
  • Buy/sell rate management and margin tracking spread across spreadsheets
  • Germany-specific: ATLAS customs system. Frankfurt as Europe's largest cargo hub. Lufthansa Cargo dominance.

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

  • Direct EDI/API connections to carriers — zero re-keying
  • Buy/sell rate management with real-time margin visibility
  • One booking workflow across every airline and GSA partner

Built for Germany's requirements

Belli was deployed with Europe's operational texture in mind, not retrofitted to it. European air cargo is governed by the most complex regulatory environment in the world including EU ICS2 and ACC3 requirements.

That shows up in the details: slot-constrained airports requiring precise capacity planning; EU ICS2 mandatory pre-arrival cargo data filing; and IATA ONE Record adoption driven by EU regulatory push. Germany adds its own layer — ATLAS customs system. Frankfurt as Europe's largest cargo hub. Lufthansa Cargo dominance. Carriers such as airBaltic, Cargolux, Lufthansa Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Germany

There is no multi-quarter cutover here. Historical AWBs, allotments, and contracts move across without re-keying. By go-live your operators are trained on the same workflows they already run in Germany. After go-live you keep direct access to the engineers who built the system.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Germany

Here is the case in plain terms. Every week on legacy software is revenue quietly left on the ramp. The return is specific, not aspirational — 12% revenue recovery. This is no longer the frontier — it is the new baseline. See the live demo, or talk to an engineer the same day.
