Ground Operations built for freight forwarders & 3pls in United States

Across United States, Freight Forwarders & 3PLs run ground operations on infrastructure that wasn't built for how air cargo moves today. Ground operations are where cargo physically moves — and where most operational failures occur. Belli digitizes the entire warehouse workflow. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

Operators routing through Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Anchorage (ANC) — carriers in the class of Amerijet International, Kalitta Air — face the same pressure: more volume, tighter slots, and zero tolerance for a load plan that leaves revenue on the ramp. Belli's ground operations targets a measurable outcome — 0 data entry delay — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in United States, not 12–18 months. United States deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in United States

The friction is specific, not generic.

  • Re-keying data between forwarding software and airline EDI — compounded in United States by TSA CCSP compliance
  • No single view of shipment status once cargo leaves the warehouse — compounded in United States by CBP ACE customs integration
  • Booking air cargo across airlines through fragmented portals and email
  • United States-specific: ACE customs system. ACAS pre-departure filing. TSA screening compliance.

What changes with Belli

Belli replaces that with a single platform tuned for United States's requirements:

  • Automated eAWB and HAWB creation with IATA ONE Record transmission
  • One booking workflow across every airline and GSA partner
  • Self-service customer portal with live tracking

Before Belli: Paper-based warehouse processes. No real-time shipment visibility. Manual scanner data entry creating 4-hour data delays. After Belli: Fully digital warehouse operations. Real-time shipment tracking. Zero data entry delay from scanner integration.

How Belli's Ground Operations works in United States

Belli's ground operations runs as one connected workflow, configured for United States from day one.

In practice, that means inbound acceptance and breakdown workflows, truck dock management and appointment scheduling, and real-time operational dashboards and alerts. Belli also covers outbound build-up and aircraft loading coordination against United States's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for United States's requirements

Running cargo in United States means living inside its rules, not around them. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

That shows up in the details: e-commerce fulfillment cargo growth; USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation; and TSA CCSP compliance. United States adds its own layer — ACE customs system. ACAS pre-departure filing. TSA screening compliance. Carriers such as Amerijet International, Kalitta Air, WestJet Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in United States

Switching is the part most freight forwarders & 3pls dread — Belli compresses it into ten working days. Your existing integrations are reconnected, not rebuilt from scratch. By go-live your operators are trained on the same workflows they already run in United States. After go-live you keep direct access to the engineers who built the system.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in United States

The decision comes down to one question for United States operators. Doing nothing has a price, and it compounds every flight. The platform targets a concrete number: 0 data entry delay. The benchmark has already shifted; the only question is when you match it. Book the demo and get a go-live date in the same conversation.
