- Partly. Workbench offers 'Desktop and Mobile Expense Claims', so staff can enter claims on a phone.
- However, the vendor pages don't describe receipt photo capture or OCR, and the Workbench Go field app covers timesheets, plant and pre-starts, not expenses.
- With Vergo, employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and each one is coded to your job, sub-job, cost centre and activity.

What Workbench includes for receipts
Partly. Workbench offers 'Desktop and Mobile Expense Claims', so staff can enter claims on a phone. However, the vendor pages don't describe receipt photo capture or OCR, and the Workbench Go field app covers timesheets, plant and pre-starts, not expenses.
What teams add alongside it
- Expense management app with receipt capture
Where Vergo fits with Workbench
Vergo covers receipt capture for card spend: employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Vergo reads the receipt itself, line by line, and predicts the coding from what was actually bought — the job, sub-job, cost centre and activity — not just the vendor name on the header, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Each receipt is matched to its card line and the coded entry posts into Workbench.
Vergo integrates with Workbench and posts coded card spend into it; for Workbench, the live integration covers expense management.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do employees send receipts to Vergo?
By text or from their phone. Vergo matches each receipt to its card transaction and chases the ones still missing.
Does Vergo code receipts to our Workbench structure?
Yes. Vergo reads the receipt itself, line by line, and predicts the coding from what was actually bought — the job, sub-job, cost centre and activity — not just the vendor name on the header.
Do we need new cards?
No. Vergo works with any card from any bank; connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change.
