Cass Information Systems and FreightWaves SONAR are strengthening their strategic alliance by offering complimentary access to SONAR SCI through Cass’s Single Sign-On (SSO) integration during July and August 2025.
The announcement, made jointly from St. Louis, Missouri and Chattanooga, Tennessee on July 15, 2025, represents a significant development between Cass (NASDAQ: Cass), which is recognized as a leading provider of freight audit and payment services, and FreightWaves SONAR, known for its supply chain intelligence platform.
This temporary access program aims to provide Cass clients with direct entry to FreightWaves’ supply chain intelligence tools without additional login requirements, creating a more integrated experience for users of both systems.
Strategic Partnership Enhancement
The collaboration builds upon an existing relationship between the two companies, with this summer promotion serving as the latest development in their ongoing partnership. By integrating SONAR SCI access through Cass’s SSO system, clients can move between platforms without the friction of multiple authentication steps.
Industry analysts note that such integrations are becoming increasingly common as logistics and supply chain technology providers seek to create more cohesive ecosystems for their customers. This particular integration allows freight payment and audit customers to access market intelligence data that can inform their shipping decisions.
The timing of this two-month promotional period coincides with the peak planning season for many shippers preparing for fall freight movements and early holiday logistics arrangements.
Benefits for Supply Chain Professionals
The temporary access program offers several advantages to supply chain managers and logistics professionals who use Cass’s services:
- Direct access to freight market intelligence without additional login credentials
- Ability to compare payment data with market rate information
- Opportunity to test SONAR SCI features before making purchasing decisions
- Streamlined workflow between payment systems and market intelligence
Supply chain professionals using this integrated access will be able to make more informed decisions by having both historical payment data from Cass and current market conditions from SONAR available in a connected environment.
Technology Integration Details
The technical foundation of this offering is Cass’s Single Sign-On integration, which allows users logged into Cass systems to access SONAR SCI without additional authentication steps. This type of integration has become standard practice for enterprise software but represents a meaningful advancement in the freight payment and market intelligence space.
“The integration between payment systems and market intelligence platforms creates a more complete picture for logistics decision-makers,” said an industry technology expert familiar with both systems. “Having historical payment data alongside current market conditions in a connected environment helps professionals make better-informed shipping decisions.”
The companies have not disclosed whether this integration will continue beyond the promotional period or if additional features might be included in future partnerships.
As supply chain visibility continues to be a priority for shippers following years of disruption, technology integrations like this one aim to provide more comprehensive tools for logistics professionals managing complex transportation networks.
The temporary access program begins immediately and will continue through August 31, 2025. Cass clients interested in the program can access SONAR SCI directly through their existing Cass login credentials during the promotional period.
