What is CNS CASS?

Cargo Accounts Settlement System (CASS)

CNS CASS USA offers a modern, paperless platform that streamlines the financial settlement process between airlines and cargo agents across the U.S. Participants benefit from a system designed to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance operational confidence.

CNS CASS USA participants benefit from a system that:

  • Paperless cargo invoicing – Say goodbye to physical paperwork. All invoicing is managed electronically through a secure platform
  • Electronic payments – Agents can initiate payments online, reducing manual processing and strengthening relationships with carriers.
  • Faster invoicing cycles – The platform eliminates 5 to 7 days from the traditional invoice issuance process, accelerating cash flow.
  • Enhanced financial visibility – Improve cash flow forecasting and treasury management for both agents and carriers.
  • User-friendly experience – The intuitive interface allows carriers to upload billing files electronically and agents to receive instant email notifications with direct access to their invoices.
  • Flexible download options – Agents can review, print, or export invoices in various formats (PDF, Excel, HOT file) and reconcile data with their own accounting systems.

Simple, user-friendly functionality

  • Carriers upload their billing files to CNS CASS USA electronically
  • Agents will receive an email notification containing hyperlinks to the CNS CASS USA website, allowing direct access to their invoices upon availability
  • Agents can review invoices online or download them into their own accounting systems to reconcile their transactions

Electronic dispute resolution

Each year, approximately 9% of the 2.8 million air waybills processed are disputed. In the past, disputes caused delays in payment processing and reduced the level of confidence in the industry.

With CNS CASS USA, disputes can be resolved quickly as agents can mark the dispute type with a code and describe the discrepancy when they upload the information into the system. Carriers are then able to review the discrepancy online and either accept the agents view or re-bill the necessary adjustments. Once an invoice is approved, agents can then set a date to authorize electronic payment, which is automatically debited from their account on that date.
