Why does Vergo rank first for JobBOSS²?
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. Every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Once ECI activates API access for your account, Vergo reads your GL codes and vendors and posts coded card spend as AP checks through the JobBOSS² API.
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. Supplier accounts and purchasing cards the shop already uses keep working, and JobBOSS² keeps receiving the costs.
