What does Rentec Direct include for expenses?

How do card purchases get into Rentec Direct?

Rentec Direct's guidance is to add the card as a vendor and as a bank account of type Credit, then post each purchase as an expense with payment type Credit Card. The scanner speeds up data entry when you have the receipt; Bank Sync confirms the charge landed.

Where does that leave work?

• Receipt collection from whoever made the purchase.
• One expense at a time for each charge.
• Split receipts across properties.

When is a separate tool worth it?

When more than one or two people use company 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. Vergo connects through the Rentec Direct Open API, included on Pro and PM plans, and posts coded expenses with receipt files, so the scanner and Bank Sync work from finished entries.

How Vergo works alongside Rentec Direct

Rentec Direct stays your property management and accounting system. 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. Every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand.
