hh2 is a construction cloud suite spanning payroll, time, HR, invoice approval and card expense tracking. Vergo is focused on spend: it codes every expense, reimbursement and invoice with one AI model.

- Expenses, reimbursements and AP in one model. Card spend, employee reimbursements and vendor invoices are coded the same way, then approved and posted to your ERP.
- Any card, from any bank. Vergo works with any Visa, Mastercard or Amex card, from any bank, with no card switch. Of the alternatives listed here, it is the only one that does: Ramp, BILL, Brex and Spendesk each run on their own cards.
- Construction ERPs. Vergo connects to Viewpoint Spectrum, Vista, Foundation, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage Intacct Construction and Acumatica, among 376+ accounting systems. Card spend also syncs to PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Business Central, Oracle E-Business Suite, Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, SAP Business One, QuickBooks Online and Xero.
- Receipts by text. Employees text a photo of the receipt. No expense report to fill out.
Other hh2 alternatives to consider
Ramp
Best for: Contractors ready to switch to a new corporate card with AP, travel and procurement built in.
Ramp combines a Visa corporate charge card with expense management, reimbursements and Bill Pay. Ramp for Construction connects to Vista, Spectrum, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, Sage Intacct Construction, CMiC and Acumatica and tags transactions to job, cost code and phase. Its expense management runs on the Ramp card, and spend on other cards comes in only as employee reimbursements, so it suits contractors ready to change card programs.
BILL Spend & Expense
Best for: Small and midsize businesses already paying vendors through BILL.
BILL Spend & Expense, formerly Divvy, pairs the BILL Divvy card with budgets, expense management and reimbursements, and sits alongside BILL's AP product. The spend software pairs directly with the Divvy card and cannot be used with other corporate cards, so it fits BILL payables customers ready to run their card program on Divvy.
Brex
Best for: Venture-backed startups through enterprises that want corporate cards, business banking and expense software from one provider.
Brex offers corporate cards with expense management built in, plus bill pay, travel and business accounts. Its expense workflow runs on Brex cards: spend on other cards enters only as reimbursements, and its card statement upload exists to move vendors onto Brex cards. Direct ERP syncs cover systems such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online and Xero, with CSV export for others.
Spendesk
Best for: European midsize companies, typically 50 to 250 employees, that want cards, invoices and procurement in one tool.
Spendesk combines physical and virtual Visa cards with expense management, invoice processing, procurement and budgets, with automatic categorization and AI bookkeeping suggestions. Integrations include Xero, NetSuite, QuickBooks (US), DATEV, Sage 100 and Business Central. Its spend workflow runs on Spendesk cards, so it suits companies ready to move their card program.
