AI-Powered Cargo Load Planning for Ground Handling Agents — North America

Why ground handling agents in North America choose Belli for load planning

Across North America, Ground Handling Agents run load planning on infrastructure that wasn't built for how air cargo moves today. 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 Anchorage (ANC) and Louisville (SDF) — carriers in the class of Amerijet International, 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

Here is what actually breaks for ground handling agents in North America.

• Paper-based ULD acceptance and handover processes — compounded in North America by TSA CCSP compliance
• Running separate systems for each airline customer — compounded in North America by USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation
• Manual warehouse slotting and inbound/outbound tracking

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

• Pre-built scanner and IoT device integrations
• Single platform serving all airline customers
• SLA compliance tracking and automated reporting

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

Under the hood, load planning is engineered to remove the manual steps that slow ground handling agents down.

In practice, that means integration with airline departure control systems, hazmat and special cargo constraint checking, and multi-leg load plan continuity. Belli also covers visual ULD layout with drag-and-drop override 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

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: US ACAS mandatory pre-departure filing; USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation; and canada PACT pre-load targeting requirements. Carriers such as Amerijet International, ABX Air, WestJet Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in North America

There is no multi-quarter cutover here. Your existing integrations are reconnected, not rebuilt from scratch. Training runs in parallel, not after the fact. After go-live you keep direct access to the engineers who built the system.

The bottom line for Ground Handling Agents in North America

Strip away the demos and it is about outcomes. Every week on legacy software is revenue quietly left on the ramp. The platform targets a concrete number: 12% revenue recovery. 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.
