Why freight forwarders & 3pls in United States choose Belli for load planning

For Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in United States, load planning is where margins are won and lost on every departure. 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 Toronto (YYZ) and Miami (MIA) — carriers in the class of CargoJet, Atlas 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 United States, not 12–18 months. United States deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in United States

On the ground in United States, the failure points are concrete.

  • Buy/sell rate management and margin tracking spread across spreadsheets — compounded in United States by canada PACT pre-load targeting requirements
  • Re-keying data between forwarding software and airline EDI — compounded in United States by USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation
  • Manual eAWB and house manifest creation duplicated in every carrier system
  • United States-specific: ACE customs system. ACAS pre-departure filing. TSA screening compliance.

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

  • One booking workflow across every airline and GSA partner
  • Automated eAWB and HAWB creation with IATA ONE Record transmission
  • End-to-end shipment milestone tracking in a single dashboard

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 United States

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

In practice, that means AI-automated build-up optimization, integration with airline departure control systems, and visual ULD layout with drag-and-drop override. Belli also covers multi-leg load plan continuity 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

Belli was deployed with North America's operational texture in mind, not retrofitted to it. 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; TSA CCSP compliance; and USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation. United States adds its own layer — ACE customs system. ACAS pre-departure filing. TSA screening compliance. Carriers such as CargoJet, Atlas Air, ABX Air operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in United States

The migration is the opposite of a legacy rip-and-replace. The first days are spent migrating live bookings, tariffs, and message flows. Operators train on their own cargo, so day one feels familiar. Support is a person who knows your account, available around the clock.

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

The decision comes down to one question for United States operators. Each delayed integration is margin that never shows up on the P&L. 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.
