AI-Powered Cargo Load Planning for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs — North America

Why freight forwarders & 3pls in North America choose Belli for load planning

Freight Forwarders & 3PLs that depend on load planning in North America can no longer absorb the cost of spreadsheet-and-email workarounds. Manual load planning costs airlines revenue on every single flight. Planners using spreadsheets and legacy tools make errors that cause delays, weight and balance issues, and suboptimal ULD utilization. Belli's AI load planning engine automates the entire build-up process — optimizing cargo placement across ULD positions in real time, validating weight distribution against aircraft limits, and maximizing revenue per available position on every departure. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

Operators routing through 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 load planning targets a measurable outcome — 12% revenue recovery — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in North America, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality in North America

On the ground in North America, the failure points are concrete.

• Manual eAWB and house manifest creation duplicated in every carrier system — compounded in North America by canada PACT pre-load targeting requirements
• Buy/sell rate management and margin tracking spread across spreadsheets — compounded in North America by e-commerce fulfillment cargo growth
• Customer service chasing carriers for milestone updates

What changes with Belli

Belli replaces that with a single platform tuned for North America's requirements:

• One booking workflow across every airline and GSA partner
• End-to-end shipment milestone tracking in a single dashboard
• Direct EDI/API connections to carriers — zero re-keying

Before Belli: Planners spend 45-90 minutes per flight on manual load plans. Errors cause last-minute offloads, weight penalties, and revenue loss. After Belli: AI generates optimal load plans in under 60 seconds. Zero weight violations. 12% average revenue recovery from better ULD utilization.

How Belli's Load Planning works in North America

Belli's load planning runs as one connected workflow, configured for North America from day one.

In practice, that means real-time weight and balance validation, hazmat and special cargo constraint checking, and multi-leg load plan continuity. Belli also covers integration with airline departure control systems against North America's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for North America's requirements

Running cargo in North America 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: USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation; TSA CCSP compliance; and CBP ACE customs integration. Carriers such as CargoJet, ABX Air, Amerijet International operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in North America

Replatforming usually means a year of risk; with Belli it is a ten-day project plan. Week one maps your data, rates, and EDI partners at Miami (MIA). Training runs in parallel, not after the fact. A named engineer stays attached after launch — reachable 24/7, not via a portal.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in North America

Here is the case in plain terms. Manual workflows do not just cost hours — they cost yield on every departure. Belli turns load planning from a cost center into a measurable gain — 12% revenue recovery. Operations through Miami (MIA) move at this pace today. Start with the demo and a 10-day plan, not a pilot committee.
