Load Planning built for freight forwarders & 3pls in Canada

Freight Forwarders & 3PLs that depend on load planning in Canada 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) and Toronto (YYZ) — carriers in the class of CargoJet, 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 load planning targets a measurable outcome — 12% revenue recovery — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in Canada, not 12–18 months. Canada deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in Canada

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

  • Manual eAWB and house manifest creation duplicated in every carrier system — compounded in Canada by canada PACT pre-load targeting requirements
  • Buy/sell rate management and margin tracking spread across spreadsheets — compounded in Canada by US ACAS mandatory pre-departure filing
  • Customer service chasing carriers for milestone updates
  • Canada-specific: PACT pre-load targeting. CBSA customs integration. CargoJet domestic network.

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

  • End-to-end shipment milestone tracking in a single dashboard
  • Automated eAWB and HAWB creation with IATA ONE Record transmission
  • 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 Canada

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

In practice, that means multi-leg load plan continuity, visual ULD layout with drag-and-drop override, and hazmat and special cargo constraint checking. Belli also covers integration with airline departure control systems against Canada's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for Canada's requirements

North America is not a single market — it is a set of regulators, hubs, and carrier models that punish one-size-fits-all software. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

That shows up in the details: CBP ACE customs integration; USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation; and TSA CCSP compliance. Canada adds its own layer — PACT pre-load targeting. CBSA customs integration. CargoJet domestic network. Carriers such as CargoJet, Kalitta Air, Amerijet International operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Canada

The migration is the opposite of a legacy rip-and-replace. Master data and partner connections are stood up against a real test load. By go-live your operators are trained on the same workflows they already run in Canada. A named engineer stays attached after launch — reachable 24/7, not via a portal.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Canada

For Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Canada, the math is simple. 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.

Common questions

How fast can Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Canada go live with Belli's Load Planning?

Belli's 10-day go-live SLA applies from contract signature — whether you run a single station such as Miami (MIA) or a multi-hub network across North America. Data migration, EDI connections, and operator training are included in the 10 days, versus the 12–18 months legacy vendors quote.

Does Belli's Load Planning meet Canada regulatory requirements?

Yes. Canada deployments handle PACT pre-load targeting. CBSA customs integration. CargoJet domestic network. Belli ships with the compliance workflows North America operators need out of the box — including TSA CCSP compliance — so you are not building integrations after go-live.

Which North America carriers run cargo operations like ours?

Carriers across the region — including CargoJet, Kalitta Air, Amerijet International — operate the same booking-to-revenue workflows Belli automates, much of it routing through Miami (MIA).

What measurable result does Belli's Load Planning deliver?

AI generates optimal load plans in under 60 seconds. Zero weight violations. 12% average revenue recovery from better ULD utilization. Typical outcome: 12% revenue recovery, with buy/sell rate management with real-time margin visibility.

Who in our organization owns the buying decision?

For Freight Forwarders & 3PLs, the decision typically involves Managing Director, Head of Airfreight, Operations/IT Director. Common triggers: Volume growth, new carrier onboarding, ONE Record mandate, margin compression.
