Cargo Payments & Billing Automation for Ground Handling Agents in Colombia

Why ground handling agents in Colombia choose Belli for payments

Belli rebuilt payments from first principles for ground handling agents in Colombia — 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. Latin American air cargo is driven by perishable exports, mining equipment, and growing e-commerce.

Operators routing through Bogotá (BOG) — carriers in the class of Azul Cargo, GOL 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 Colombia, not 12–18 months. Colombia deployments inherit the same SLA.

The operational reality in Colombia

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

• Running separate systems for each airline customer — compounded in Colombia by perishable cargo dominance requiring cold-chain management
• No real-time inventory visibility for airline customers — compounded in Colombia by growing e-commerce driving air freight demand
• Compliance gaps with varying airline SLAs
• Colombia-specific: MUISCA customs system. Flower export cargo dominance. Bogotá as Andean cargo hub.

What changes with Belli

The same operation, re-platformed:

• Pre-built scanner and IoT device integrations
• SLA compliance tracking and automated reporting
• Real-time warehouse management with barcode/RFID integration

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 Colombia

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

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

Built for Colombia's requirements

Running cargo in Colombia 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: currency volatility requiring multi-currency pricing; perishable cargo dominance requiring cold-chain management; and diverse customs systems: SISCOMEX (Brazil), VUCE (Peru), MUISCA (Colombia). Colombia adds its own layer — MUISCA customs system. Flower export cargo dominance. Bogotá as Andean cargo hub. Carriers such as Azul Cargo, GOL Cargo, Avianca Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Colombia

There is no multi-quarter cutover here. The first days are spent migrating live bookings, tariffs, and message flows. 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 Ground Handling Agents in Colombia

Strip away the demos and it is about outcomes. Every week on legacy software is revenue quietly left on the ramp. 2% dispute rate is the outcome Belli is engineered to deliver. Carriers like Azul Cargo, GOL Cargo, Avianca Cargo already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
