Cass Information Systems, a leading provider of enterprise payment and spend management solutions, announced a strategic partnership with Caspian, the AI command center for customs refunds. Together, the companies will deliver a comprehensive tariff cost management solution designed to help U.S. importers improve cash flow, strengthen compliance, and better understand their true landed product costs.
Addressing Critical Supply Chain Challenges
Ongoing tariff complexity and difficult customs processes continue to elevate compliance and financial risks for U.S. importers.
- Refunds opportunities go undetected, unrecovered or become stuck in endless red tape
- Compliance posture & supply chain planning are reactive to geopolitics
- Pricing strategy lacks visibility to trends in product-level duty burdens
Shippers need processes and technology that improve financial controls and supply chain resiliency, while reducing the work they face each day.
