Where Vergo fits with Aqilla
Vergo covers the card side without a card switch: it works with any card from any bank, and connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Transactions are ready to code the moment they happen — no waiting for clearing — and once they clear, they sync into Aqilla. 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 expense type, VAT treatment and project, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Receipts come in the same flow: employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report.
Vergo integrates with Aqilla and posts coded card spend into it; for Aqilla, the live integration covers expense management.
