The Cass Solution: Integrate and Simplify BYOD

The Cass BYOD program is a patent-pending, innovative solution, based on three simple premises: (1) Direct payments, (2) Streamlined processes and (3) Increased controls.

First, the Cass BYOD solution provides a direct-to-the-carrier payment platform that streamlines financial exchange. Instead of getting reimbursed through employee payroll, the employee receives an invoice from the carrier that shows a credit to the account - the amount the employer has already paid to the carrier. So if the employer reimburses $50 per month, the employee pays the net invoice amount, which reflects a $50 credit The Cass solution maintains data on employee-owned wireless accounts and each employee’s associated approved amount for employer reimbursement.

Second, processes are streamlined. Because the employee does not receive funds from the employer, employees don’t need to complete an expense report. Payments to the carrier are made electronically, using the employer’s general ledger accounting rules for automated cost allocations.

Third, controls are strengthened through expanded visibility; all telecom data is in one central repository. Employee-level expense and inventory data for employee-owned devices is maintained in the same platform that manages your corporate-liable wireless expenses. This gives you maximum visibility into your BYOD program as well as an integrated source of data for all of the company’s mobility expenses.
