It is what happens before a saint is canonized. What happens is instead of just the local church knowing. They tell the world church that there is a new saint.
Beatification is one step below sainthood in the canonization process and it states to the entire world that this person lived a saintly life.

In the Catholic church, beatification is a recognition given to individuals who are believed to be in heaven because of their faith and virtue. It is a step in the process towards sainthood, and those who are beatified are called "Blessed." Beatification allows for public veneration of the individual in specific regions or groups.
