ADP handles payroll well but lacks job-cost coding, cost code allocation, and project-level expense tracking that construction reimbursements require. Vergo fills this gap by syncing reimbursement data directly to ADP payroll while capturing cost codes and WIP data at the point of submission.
Construction companies face unique challenges with employee reimbursements due to their distributed job sites, field-office disconnect, and reliance on manual, paper-based processes. ADP's generic ERP system lacks the tailored functionality to handle construction-specific reimbursement needs. For example, a superintendent may purchase materials at a local supply house and toss the receipt in the truck, making it difficult to track and allocate those expenses correctly.
Poor reimbursement management in construction leads to a range of costly problems:
On average, these issues can add 3-5 days to the monthly close process and introduce thousands in unexpected costs.
Modern construction finance platforms provide centralized, digital reimbursement workflows tailored for the industry's unique needs. These solutions connect field teams, automate expense tracking, and integrate seamlessly with core accounting systems. For example, a superintendent can snap a photo of a receipt, instantly submitting it for review and allocation to the right project. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures accurate job costing.
One such purpose-built solution is Vergo, a construction finance platform that streamlines reimbursements and other critical financial processes. Vergo's mobile app and web portal provide a simple, intuitive way for field and office teams to manage expenses, boosting productivity and closing the data loop with accounting.
