100% coverage vs. 5% sampling
Cass audits roughly 5% of invoices - a sampling rate that services-model labor economics can support. cloudsquid’s AI-native review covers 100% of the population, so errors outside that 5% sample don’t slip through.
Cass is the largest traditional freight audit and payment firm, built on decades of carrier data and a 5% sampling model that its services economics justify. cloudsquid applies AI-native, 100%-coverage audit to freight - and extends the same review into AP, AR, and revenue leakage that Cass doesn’t touch.
01 Why cloudsquid
Cass audits roughly 5% of invoices - a sampling rate that services-model labor economics can support. cloudsquid’s AI-native review covers 100% of the population, so errors outside that 5% sample don’t slip through.
Cass’s freight audit and payment (FAP) service stops at freight. cloudsquid runs the same document-first review across freight, AP, AR, and revenue leakage - one platform instead of a freight-only specialist.
Cass’s scale and services model are built around large enterprise freight programs, leaving mid-market shippers underserved. cloudsquid is self-serve and priced to fit teams below that threshold.

03 A fair look
Largest traditional freight audit and payment firm, processing $37B in freight spend and 35M invoices per year
Decades of carrier-network history and relationships - “we’ve processed everything, we know every carrier”
Full freight audit + payment (FAP): verification and settlement handled in one service
Audits a 5% sample of invoices rather than the full population, since that’s what services-model labor economics support
Traditional operating model, not AI-native - technology hasn’t kept pace with the scale of the network
Freight-only; no AP, AR, or revenue-leakage coverage
Mid-market shippers are underserved by a model built for large enterprise freight programs
04 Customers
“We’re on the front foot now. The team spends time on disputes, not data wrangling, and it’s showing up in significant cash back to the bottom line.”
“We tackled a massive document backlog of over 50,000 PDFs in minutes.”
05 Which to choose
You run a large enterprise freight program and want an established, at-scale freight audit and payment provider, and a 5% sampling model fits your risk tolerance.
You want 100% invoice-level freight coverage plus AP, AR, and revenue-leakage detection on one self-serve platform, at mid-market-accessible pricing.
06 Questions
Choose cloudsquid if you want full-population audit coverage instead of a sampled review, or if your leakage exposure goes beyond freight into AP, AR, or revenue. Cass is a strong, established freight-only FAP provider built around a 5% sampling model.
Not necessarily - some teams keep Cass for payment services and add cloudsquid for full-population verification across freight and the domains Cass doesn’t cover, like AP and AR.
Most engagements start with a bounded process and are live within two weeks, beginning with a read-only lookback audit against your own data.
cloudsquid is ISO 27001:2022 certified, with EU data residency available and a full audit trail on every finding.
AI-native review makes full-population coverage economical. Where sampling models like Cass’s review roughly 5% of invoices, cloudsquid checks every invoice in the scoped population against source documents.
