Real-Time ULD Management & Tracking for Freight Forwarders & 3PLs — North America

Why freight forwarders & 3pls in North America choose Belli for ULD management

Freight Forwarders & 3PLs that depend on ULD management in North America can no longer absorb the cost of spreadsheet-and-email workarounds. ULD management is the backbone of air cargo operations. Lost ULDs, poor positioning, and suboptimal space utilization cost airlines millions annually. Belli provides real-time tracking of every container and pallet across your entire network. North American air cargo is dominated by the US ACAS/ACMS security regime and sophisticated customs requirements.

Operators routing through Toronto (YYZ) and Miami (MIA) — carriers in the class of CargoJet, Amerijet International — face the same pressure: more volume, tighter slots, and zero tolerance for a load plan that leaves revenue on the ramp. Belli's ULD management targets a measurable outcome — 30% fewer empty ULD moves — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in North America, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality in North America

On the ground in North America, the failure points are concrete.

• Buy/sell rate management and margin tracking spread across spreadsheets — compounded in North America by USMCA trade agreement customs facilitation
• Re-keying data between forwarding software and airline EDI — compounded in North America by canada PACT pre-load targeting requirements
• Customer service chasing carriers for milestone updates

What changes with Belli

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

• Direct EDI/API connections to carriers — zero re-keying
• End-to-end shipment milestone tracking in a single dashboard
• Buy/sell rate management with real-time margin visibility

Before Belli: Airlines lose track of 5-15% of their ULD fleet at any given time. Poor positioning creates bottlenecks and empty flights. After Belli: Real-time visibility of 100% of ULD inventory. AI-optimized positioning reduces empty ULD movements by 30%.

How Belli's ULD Management works in North America

Under the hood, ULD management is engineered to remove the manual steps that slow freight forwarders & 3pls down.

In practice, that means ULD lifecycle tracking, damage and serviceability tracking, and automated ULD control messaging (UCM). Belli also covers real-time ULD inventory and positioning against North America's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for North America's requirements

Running cargo in North America 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: canada PACT pre-load targeting requirements; US ACAS mandatory pre-departure filing; and TSA CCSP compliance. Carriers such as CargoJet, Amerijet International, Kalitta Air operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in North America

The migration is the opposite of a legacy rip-and-replace. The first days are spent migrating live bookings, tariffs, and message flows. The team is live and supported before the old system is switched off. A named engineer stays attached after launch — reachable 24/7, not via a portal.

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

For Freight Forwarders & 3PLs in North America, the math is simple. Each delayed integration is margin that never shows up on the P&L. Belli turns ULD management from a cost center into a measurable gain — 30% fewer empty ULD moves. Operations through Toronto (YYZ) move at this pace today. Start with the demo and a 10-day plan, not a pilot committee.
