Cargo Payments & Billing Automation for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs — Latin America

Payments built for freight forwarders & 3pls in Latin America

For Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Latin America, payments is where margins are won and lost on every departure. Cargo billing is notoriously error-prone. Belli automates the complete billing cycle from AWB rating through to CASS settlement. Latin American air cargo is driven by perishable exports, mining equipment, and growing e-commerce.

Operators routing through Panama City (PTY) and Santiago (SCL) — carriers in the class of GOL Cargo, Avianca 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 Latin America, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality in Latin America

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

• Customer service chasing carriers for milestone updates — compounded in Latin America by growing e-commerce driving air freight demand
• Re-keying data between forwarding software and airline EDI — compounded in Latin America by perishable cargo dominance requiring cold-chain management
• Manual eAWB and house manifest creation duplicated in every carrier system

What changes with Belli

What freight forwarders & 3pls get instead:

• Direct EDI/API connections to carriers — zero re-keying
• Automated eAWB and HAWB creation with IATA ONE Record transmission
• One booking workflow across every airline and GSA partner

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 Latin America

The mechanics are built for throughput, not paperwork — whether cargo moves through Panama City (PTY) or a dozen stations.

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

Built for Latin America's requirements

Running cargo in Latin America means living inside its rules, not around them. Latin American air cargo is driven by perishable exports, mining equipment, and growing e-commerce.

That shows up in the details: growing e-commerce driving air freight demand; miami as primary gateway for Latin America-US cargo flows; and mining and energy sector equipment cargo. Carriers such as GOL Cargo, Avianca Cargo, LATAM Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Latin America

Replatforming usually means a year of risk; with Belli it is a ten-day project plan. Week one maps your data, rates, and EDI partners at Panama City (PTY). Cutover happens with a Belli engineer on the line, not a ticket queue. Support is a person who knows your account, available around the clock.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Latin America

The bottom line for freight forwarders & 3pls is direct. Each delayed integration is margin that never shows up on the P&L. The return is specific, not aspirational — 2% dispute rate. This is no longer the frontier — it is the new baseline. See the live demo, or talk to an engineer the same day.
