Key takeaways
- JobBOSS² is a job-shop ERP with GL, AP, AR and job costing, or a QuickBooks sync.
- ECI's product pages describe no employee expense or card spend module.
- Card purchases arrive with no invoice, so job and GL costs lag until someone keys them.
- Vergo collects the receipt, proposes the GL code and posts an AP check into JobBOSS², after ECI activates API access.

What does JobBOSS² include for spend?
- Accounts payable: vendor invoices and checks in built-in accounting.
- Job costing: estimated versus actual cost by job.
- General ledger: GL codes, journal entries and trial balance.
- QuickBooks sync: for shops that keep accounting in QuickBooks desktop or online.
How does card spend get into JobBOSS² today?
By hand, in most shops. The card statement arrives, someone matches lines to whatever receipts turned up, and each purchase is entered in AP. Because a card purchase has no supplier invoice, the cost can sit outside JobBOSS² for weeks.
Where does that leave work for the controller?
- Receipt chasing across shifts.
- GL coding of mixed receipts.
- Late costs that distort month-end margins.
When is a separate tool worth it?
When more than a couple of people on the floor 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 ECI activates API access for your account, Vergo reads your GL codes and vendors and posts coded card spend as AP checks through the JobBOSS² API.
How Vergo works alongside JobBOSS²
JobBOSS² stays your ERP for jobs, scheduling and accounting. Vergo sits in front of it for card purchases and receipts. 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.
