Modern payments for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs

Belli rebuilt payments from first principles for freight forwarders & 3pls — 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.

Belli's payments targets a measurable outcome — 2% dispute rate — and goes live in 10 days, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs

Here is what actually breaks for freight forwarders & 3pls.

  • Customer service chasing carriers for milestone updates
  • Re-keying data between forwarding software and airline EDI
  • Buy/sell rate management and margin tracking spread across spreadsheets

What changes with Belli

Belli replaces that with a single platform:

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

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

Belli's payments runs as one connected workflow.

In practice, that means automated AWB rating and charge calculation, aging reports and collection workflows, and credit management and limit controls. Belli also covers invoice generation and distribution. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Going live in 10 days

The migration is the opposite of a legacy rip-and-replace. Historical AWBs, allotments, and contracts move across without re-keying. Training runs in parallel, not after the fact. A named engineer stays attached after launch — reachable 24/7, not via a portal.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs

Here is the case in plain terms. The status quo is expensive precisely because it looks free. 2% dispute rate is the outcome Belli is engineered to deliver. Modern carriers already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
