We use a unique combination of Cass automated processes and our team of experts to manage your invoice processes and audit billing, line by line. Telecom costs are accurately charged to the appropriate accounts in your ERP/general ledger, without room for error.

The hallmark of Cass’ best practice is our telecom invoice management methodology. Charge-level audits only become feasible when invoices are received via EDI ANSI 811 format, which essentially provides 100% of the invoice documentation.
The Cass telecom expense management platform receives over 85% of all invoices electronically. As part of ongoing operations, Cass will move as many invoices as possible to electronic delivery. All invoice data is displayed in a common format, regardless of the input method.
Converting paper to EDI means that, instead of receiving summary information, invoices can be analyzed at the most granular level possible – the charge level, which some carriers refer to as the Universal Service Order Code (USOC) level. Many other telecom expense management methodologies:
Most Cass telecom expense management customers select Cass to provide bill payment services, which streamlines the payment process and improves payment tracking.
Cass Commercial Bank, a Federal Reserve member bank and subsidiary of Cass Information Systems, facilitates payment transactions for Cass telecom expense management customers through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network wherever possible.
Cass confirms receipt of electronic payments, which greatly reduces vendor late payment claims. The Cass invoice payment engine flags remit addresses electronically if there is a change, ensuring payments are directed correctly. No other telecom expense management service provider offers this unique level of secure payment capabilities because no other telecom expense management provider operates a bank subsidiary.
