Capability	In BQE CORE?	What the documentation shows
Bank feeds	Yes	Cloud Feeds download bank transactions into CORE and support auto-reconciliation.
Credit card feeds	Yes	Credit card accounts are handled in the Accounting module through Cloud Feeds and credit card reconciliation, and expense entries can be linked to a credit card account (Add Credit Card Expenses).
AP automation (invoice capture and processing)	Partly	Vendor bills and bill payments with full A/P workflows are available in CORE, with full bill payments on web and view-only in the mobile app. However, the docs reviewed don't describe invoice OCR or an AP email inbox.
Receipt capture and mobile expenses	Yes	The CORE Mobile app can create expense entries from receipt images using OCR (Capture Receipt) and track mileage automatically.
Expense claim approvals	Yes	Expense entries follow a submit, forward, approve or reject workflow (statuses Submitted, Forwarded, Approved, Rejected), available on web and mobile.
Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments)	Partly	Submit, forward and approve workflows are documented for time and expense entries. However, configurable approval routing for vendor bills or purchase orders was not found in the docs reviewed.

Where Vergo fits with BQE CORE

Vergo integrates with BQE CORE and posts coded card spend into it; for BQE CORE, the live integration covers expense management. It works with any card from any bank — connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. 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. The proposal covers the project and expense item, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account, by amount, or by project — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule.
