CASSlink Platform
CASSlink is the modern, cloud-based platform used by CNS to manage the Cargo Accounts Settlement System (CASS) in the United States. This digital environment facilitates the secure, efficient, and transparent exchange of information between airlines, freight forwarders, and other participating stakeholders.

- Faster and more reliable data processing
- Secure access and permissions control
- Improved reporting tools and visibility
- Automated workflows for billing and settlement
- Scalable infrastructure to support future innovation
