Computerease handles payroll and job costing well but has no native reimbursement workflow, forcing crews to submit expenses via spreadsheets or paper that must be manually re-keyed into cost codes. Vergo fills that gap with mobile receipt capture and direct Computerease GL mapping, eliminating duplicate entry and keeping WIP schedules current.
Construction companies frequently rely on distributed job sites and paper-based processes, which creates challenges for employee reimbursements. Superintendents and foremen often make purchases at local suppliers, then toss the receipts in a truck, leading to lost documentation and inaccurate job costing. This field-office disconnect, combined with the limitations of generic ERP systems like Computerease, results in manual, error-prone reimbursement workflows.
The lack of a construction-specific reimbursement tool for Computerease users has significant consequences:
Innovative construction companies are adopting purpose-built reimbursement solutions that integrate directly with their ERP, like Computerease. These tools streamline the entire reimbursement workflow, from mobile receipt capture to automated approvals and GL coding. This not only improves visibility and accuracy but also frees up the accounting team to focus on higher-value work.
For example, one Vergo customer was able to cut their monthly close process by 3 days after implementing a dedicated reimbursement solution. The superintendents now simply snap a photo of receipts on their phones, and the data automatically syncs to the ERP, eliminating manual data entry.
Vergo is a card-agnostic expense management platform built for construction. Connect any corporate or project credit card and get full visibility and control over field spending.
Inaccurate or delayed reimbursement data leads to distorted job costs, making it difficult to track profitability and identify problem areas. This can have a ripple effect across financial reporting, WIP schedules, and forecasting.
Without a documented, auditable reimbursement process, construction companies face increased risk of expense policy violations, duplicate payments, and audit findings. This can result in financial penalties and damage to the company's reputation.
Delays in processing employee expenses means the accounting team must wait for that data before finalizing the month's books. This can push the close process out by several days, hampering visibility and decision-making.
Vergo's construction-specific reimbursement solution integrates directly with Computerease, automating the entire workflow from receipt capture to GL coding. This improves visibility, accuracy, and efficiency, allowing the finance team to focus on higher-value work.
