Cargo Payments & Billing Automation for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Canada

Why freight forwarders & 3pls in Canada choose Belli for payments

Belli rebuilt payments from first principles for freight forwarders & 3pls in Canada — 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. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

Operators routing through Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Anchorage (ANC) — carriers in the class of ABX Air, CargoJet — 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 Canada, not 12–18 months. Canada deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in Canada

The friction is specific, not generic.

• No single view of shipment status once cargo leaves the warehouse — compounded in Canada by e-commerce fulfillment cargo growth
• Manual eAWB and house manifest creation duplicated in every carrier system — compounded in Canada by US ACAS mandatory pre-departure filing
• Re-keying data between forwarding software and airline EDI
• Canada-specific: PACT pre-load targeting. CBSA customs integration. CargoJet domestic network.

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

• Buy/sell rate management with real-time margin visibility
• One booking workflow across every airline and GSA partner
• End-to-end shipment milestone tracking in a single dashboard

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 Canada

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

In practice, that means aging reports and collection workflows, credit management and limit controls, and IATA CASS settlement integration. Belli also covers payment gateway integration against Canada's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for Canada's requirements

Running cargo in Canada means living inside its rules, not around them. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

That shows up in the details: TSA CCSP compliance; US ACAS mandatory pre-departure filing; and CBP ACE customs integration. Canada adds its own layer — PACT pre-load targeting. CBSA customs integration. CargoJet domestic network. Carriers such as ABX Air, CargoJet, Kalitta Air operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Canada

Go-live is measured in days, and the date is contractual. Week one maps your data, rates, and EDI partners at Chicago O'Hare (ORD). Training runs in parallel, not after the fact. Post-launch, changes ship continuously rather than waiting for a quarterly release.

The bottom line for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in Canada

Here is the case in plain terms. 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 ABX Air, CargoJet, Kalitta Air already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
