- Cost centre reporting. Management accounts in Sage 200 are cut by cost centre and department.

- Month-end speed. Card statements should reconcile, not be re-keyed.
Why does Vergo rank first for Sage 200?
Most expense tools stop at a category and leave the finance team to map it to a nominal account. Vergo reads the nominal codes and cost centres straight from Sage 200 and proposes the whole analysis for each line, with the VAT code, so what arrives is ready to post. 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.
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 card stays set up in the Cash Book exactly as it is.
Who is Vergo a fit for on Sage 200?
Multi-site businesses where branch or depot managers hold cards: distributors, manufacturers, service companies and contractors. The more cost centres you report on, the more time Vergo saves, because that is the field people most often get wrong.
