New CASSlink project
CASSLink is CNS internet-based data processing and customer management system that facilitates interaction and exchange of information between airlines, freight forwarders and third parties participating in CNS Cargo Accounts Settlement System (CASS).
In order to ensure that CASSlink continues to deliver fast, secure and reliable service to all participants, CNS kicked-off the new CASSlink project, which aim is to modernize the current CASSlink platform to meet today and tomorrow’s CASS operational needs, making it more operationally efficient as well as more user-friendly.
The implementation of the renewed platform will start late 3rd quarter 2022, subject to systems readiness.
