Where Vergo fits with FreeAgent
If FreeAgent's own capture already covers your team, Vergo's added value is in matching and coding: Vergo reads the receipt itself, line by line, and predicts the coding from what was actually bought — the category, VAT rate and project — not just the vendor name on the header. Employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing ones itself instead of waiting for a report. Each receipt is matched to its card line and the coded entry posts into FreeAgent.
Vergo integrates with FreeAgent and posts coded card spend into it; for FreeAgent, the live integration covers expense management.
