Cargo Payments & Billing Automation for Ground Handling Agents — Europe

Modern payments for Ground Handling Agents in Europe

Belli rebuilt payments from first principles for ground handling agents 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 Luxembourg (LUX) and Amsterdam (AMS) — carriers in the class of Lufthansa Cargo, 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

Here is what actually breaks for ground handling agents in Europe.

• Compliance gaps with varying airline SLAs — compounded in Europe by GDPR compliance for all customer and shipment data processing
• Paper-based ULD acceptance and handover processes — compounded in Europe by UK PreDICT post-Brexit customs requirements
• No real-time inventory visibility for airline customers

What changes with Belli

Belli replaces that with a single platform tuned for Europe's requirements:

• Real-time warehouse management with barcode/RFID integration
• SLA compliance tracking and automated reporting
• Automated ULD acceptance, build-up, and handover

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 invoice generation and distribution against Europe's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for Europe's requirements

Belli was deployed with Europe's operational texture in mind, not retrofitted to it. 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: GDPR compliance for all customer and shipment data processing; UK PreDICT post-Brexit customs requirements; and EU ICS2 mandatory pre-arrival cargo data filing. Carriers such as Lufthansa Cargo, Turkish Airlines Cargo, Air France-KLM Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Europe

There is no multi-quarter cutover here. Week one maps your data, rates, and EDI partners at Luxembourg (LUX). Training runs in parallel, not after the fact. Post-launch, changes ship continuously rather than waiting for a quarterly release.

The bottom line for Ground Handling Agents in Europe

The decision comes down to one question for Europe operators. 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 Lufthansa Cargo, Turkish Airlines Cargo, Air France-KLM Cargo already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
