When Each Option Makes Sense

When a Generic Tool May Be Enough

• You have a small team with simple expense needs
• Your construction work is a minor part of the business
• You don't require tight ERP integration or advanced job costing

When You Need a Construction-Specific Solution

• You have a large, distributed construction workforce
• Job costing and ERP integration are critical to your workflows
• You need construction-tailored expense policies and approvals

How Vergo Helps

Vergo is a card-agnostic expense management platform built for construction. Connect any corporate or project credit card and get full visibility and control over field spending.

• Job-cost coding at the point of capture — field teams assign job number, cost code, and cost type from their mobile device before the receipt leaves the job site.
• Per-job spend controls — set card limits by project, cost code, or cardholder so spending stays within approved budgets.
• Mobile receipt capture — superintendents and PMs photograph receipts on-site with automatic data extraction.
• Role-based approval workflows — route expenses through project managers, job-level approvers, and controllers based on your org structure.
• Vergo integrates natively with Jonas Construction Software, syncing coded expenses directly into job cost and general ledger without manual re-entry.
