Why does Vergo rank first for TruckMate?
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. 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. Where your TruckMate licence includes Trimble's Finance API, Vergo reads your GL and posts coded card spend to Accounts Payable through it.
Do you have to change cards?
No. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change.
