AI-Powered Cargo Load Planning for Ground Handling Agents

Load Planning built for ground handling agents

Ground Handling Agents that depend on load planning can no longer absorb the cost of quarterly release schedules. 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.

Belli's load planning targets a measurable outcome — 12% revenue recovery — and goes live in 10 days, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality for Ground Handling Agents

The friction is specific, not generic.

• Compliance gaps with varying airline SLAs
• Scanner and IoT device integration nightmares
• Running separate systems for each airline customer

What changes with Belli

Belli replaces that with a single platform:

• Pre-built scanner and IoT device integrations
• Automated ULD acceptance, build-up, and handover
• Real-time warehouse management with barcode/RFID integration

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

The mechanics are built for throughput, not paperwork.

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

Going live in 10 days

Switching is the part most ground handling agents dread — Belli compresses it into ten working days. 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. After go-live you keep direct access to the engineers who built the system.

The bottom line for Ground Handling Agents

For Ground Handling Agents, the math is simple. Each delayed integration is margin that never shows up on the P&L. Belli turns load planning from a cost center into a measurable gain — 12% revenue recovery. The best operators already move at this pace. Start with the demo and a 10-day plan, not a pilot committee.
