Why does property-level coding decide it?
Owner statements and association reports are built from what is coded to each property. A tool that lands spend on the right account but the wrong building leaves the accountant to move it later. Vergo proposes the property and account together, from how your team coded similar purchases. 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.
How does Vergo connect to Buildium?
Vergo connects through Buildium's public API, reads your GL accounts and vendors, and records coded spend as bills, checks or journal entries with the receipt file uploaded. Transactions are ready to code the moment they happen — no waiting for clearing — and once they clear, they sync into Buildium.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vergo listed in the Buildium marketplace?
Vergo runs on its own and connects to your Buildium account through the public API.
Does Vergo handle vendor bills?
Yes. 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.
Do we need new cards?
No. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change.
Can technicians submit without an app?
Yes. Receipts are collected by text message.
