Key takeaways
- Ajera already has expense reports, approvals, card imports and a mobile app with receipt reading, so an add-on has to improve coding and timing.
- Vergo ranks first for project and phase coding by inference on existing cards, posting expense reports to Ajera.
- SAP Concur, Emburse and Expensify centre on expense reports; ask each how entries reach Ajera.
- Ramp and Brex bundle their own cards.

What should an expense add-on do for Ajera?
- Code project and phase, because reimbursable billing reads from them.
- Mark the firm card on each line, so Ajera records a bank entry, not a reimbursement.
- Attach the receipt as client billing backup.
- Keep your cards.
Should you use Ajera's own tools or an add-on?
If staff file reports promptly and pick phases correctly, Ajera's native reports may be enough. If the accountant spends the close chasing receipts and moving charges between phases, an add-on that codes as the charge happens returns that time. 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 Ajera?
Once your IT enables API access from inside Ajera, Vergo reads your GL accounts and vendors and posts expense reports with the credit card payment method and receipts attached, through Ajera's Expense Reports API.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vergo an Ajera add-on or a replacement?
An add-on. Ajera stays your project accounting system, and its approvals and billing still apply.
Who enables the connection?
Your IT enables API access from inside Ajera once; Vergo does the rest.
Do we have to change cards?
No. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change.
Can Vergo handle reimbursements for Ajera?
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.
