Payments for Airlines in Europe — Cargo Management System

Payments built for airlines in Europe

Belli rebuilt payments from first principles for airlines in Europe — not as a bolt-on to a legacy core. Cargo billing is notoriously error-prone. Belli automates the complete billing cycle from AWB rating through to CASS settlement. European air cargo is governed by the most complex regulatory environment in the world including EU ICS2 and ACC3 requirements.

Operators routing through Amsterdam (AMS) — carriers in the class of Cargolux, Turkish Airlines Cargo — face the same pressure: more volume, tighter slots, and zero tolerance for a load plan that leaves revenue on the ramp. Belli's payments targets a measurable outcome — 2% dispute rate — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in Europe, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality in Europe

The friction is specific, not generic.

Legacy CMS contracts locking you into 18-month implementations — compounded in Europe by EU ICS2 mandatory pre-arrival cargo data filing
No real-time visibility into cargo capacity or yield — compounded in Europe by slot-constrained airports requiring precise capacity planning
EDI integration taking months instead of days

What changes with Belli

What airlines get instead:

24/7 access to real cargo software engineers
Automated AWB creation and electronic transmission
12% average revenue recovery in first quarter

Before Belli: Manual billing takes 15+ minutes per AWB. 20% of invoices disputed. After Belli: Automated billing in real time. Invoice disputes below 2%. Full CASS integration.

How Belli's Payments works in Europe

Belli's payments runs as one connected workflow, configured for Europe from day one.

In practice, that means aging reports and collection workflows, payment gateway integration, and IATA CASS settlement integration. Belli also covers automated AWB rating and charge calculation against Europe's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for Europe's requirements

Running cargo in Europe means living inside its rules, not around them. European air cargo is governed by the most complex regulatory environment in the world including EU ICS2 and ACC3 requirements.

That shows up in the details: IATA ONE Record adoption driven by EU regulatory push; GDPR compliance for all customer and shipment data processing; and EU ICS2 mandatory pre-arrival cargo data filing. Carriers such as Cargolux, Turkish Airlines Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Europe

There is no multi-quarter cutover here. Master data and partner connections are stood up against a real test load. Cutover happens with a Belli engineer on the line, not a ticket queue. Post-launch, changes ship continuously rather than waiting for a quarterly release.

The bottom line for Airlines in Europe

For Airlines in Europe, the math is simple. Manual workflows do not just cost hours — they cost yield on every departure. 2% dispute rate is the outcome Belli is engineered to deliver. Carriers like Cargolux, Turkish Airlines Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.

Common questions

How fast can Airlines in Europe go live with Belli's Payments?

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

Does Belli's Payments meet Europe regulatory requirements?

Yes. Belli ships with the compliance workflows Europe operators need out of the box — including slot-constrained airports requiring precise capacity planning — so you are not building integrations after go-live.

Which Europe carriers run cargo operations like ours?

Carriers across the region — including Cargolux, Turkish Airlines Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo — operate the same booking-to-revenue workflows Belli automates, much of it routing through Amsterdam (AMS).

What measurable result does Belli's Payments deliver?

Automated billing in real time. Invoice disputes below 2%. Full CASS integration. Typical outcome: 2% dispute rate, with real-time ULD utilization and capacity visibility.

Who in our organization owns the buying decision?

For Airlines, the decision typically involves VP/Director Cargo, CIO/CTO, Head of Cargo Operations. Common triggers: CMS contract expiry, fleet expansion, merger/acquisition, IATA ONE Record mandate.
