- Vergo ranks first because billable accuracy depends on job and task coding, which it proposes by inference.
- SAP Concur and Emburse lead on corporate travel; Ramp and Brex bundle their own cards.

What matters most for Maconomy users?
- Billable recovery. A cost on the wrong job is a cost the client never sees.
- Multi-entity structure. Location and entity have to be right for intercompany.
- Consultant time. Every hour on expenses is an hour not billed.
Why does Vergo rank first for Maconomy?
Every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. For a project accountant that means confirming a job and task instead of emailing the consultant. Employees handle everything by text message — no app to download, no portal login — and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Once your IT enables API access, Vergo creates expense sheets with receipts attached through Maconomy's Containers Web Service, coded to job, task and activity.
Do you have to change cards?
No. Vergo does not issue cards. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. The firm's travel and purchasing cards stay with the issuer you negotiated with, across every Maconomy entity.

Who enables the connection?
Your IT enables Maconomy API access once; Vergo does the rest.
