Why does Vergo rank first for Odoo?
Vergo proposes the coding by inference from your own accounting structure and history — no rule library to build, no keyword lists to maintain, and new vendors are coded on first sight. Every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Vergo connects directly to your Odoo database through Odoo's external API, reads your chart of accounts and analytic structure, and records coded spend as journal entries or vendor bills, and reimbursements as expenses.
Do you have to change cards?
No. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vergo only for construction companies on Odoo?
No. Vergo codes to whatever accounts and analytic accounts your Odoo database uses, in any industry.
How is Vergo different from Odoo Expenses?
Odoo Expenses manages claims and digitises receipts it is sent. Vergo codes card spend by inference as it happens, chases receipts by text and explains each proposal.
Does Vergo support multi-company Odoo?
Tell us your company structure when you get started; Vergo codes each transaction to the company it belongs to.
How do we start?
Get started; connecting Odoo is self-serve through its external API.
Does Vergo handle AP?
Yes. Card spend, employee reimbursements and AP invoices run through one coding model — same coding, same review, one reconciliation — and payment stays on the rails you already use.
