• General ledger across branches, territories and companies.
• Accounts payable with a purchase order variance queue.
• Vendor payments by check, card, EFT or ACH.
• APIs, including a premium Accounts Payable API.

How does card spend get into Eclipse today?

Usually by hand. Branch and driver card statements are matched to whatever receipts turned up and entered by AP or accounting. That delays branch profitability and leaves receipts scattered.

When is a separate tool worth it?

When more than a handful of branch staff carry cards. 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. Once API access is enabled for your Eclipse instance, Vergo reads your branches, departments and GL accounts and posts coded card spend through the Eclipse API.

How Vergo works alongside Eclipse

Eclipse stays your ERP for inventory, sales and accounting. 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. Card spend, employee reimbursements and AP invoices run through one coding model — same coding, same review, one reconciliation — and payment stays on the rails you already use.

A practical example

A plumbing supply distributor's AP clerk used to spend two days a month keying branch card statements into Eclipse. With Vergo, each branch manager answers a text with the receipt, and the clerk confirms proposed branch and GL coding in a daily queue before entries are posted to Eclipse.

What should a distributor check before adding a tool?

Whether it can code every purchase to a branch, whether drivers and counter staff can send receipts without an app, and how the entry reaches Eclipse. Vergo reads your branch structure from Eclipse, collects receipts by text and posts entries through the Eclipse API once access is enabled.
