- Handle GST correctly.
- Reach Jiwa through its REST API rather than a spreadsheet.
- Keep your cards.
What should you ask each vendor?
Ask whether it can propose branch and warehouse segments, how it will get entries into Jiwa, and what your IT team must host. Vergo reads your account structure and posts journal sets to Jiwa once the REST API plugin is enabled. 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 Jiwa?
Your IT team enables the REST API plugin and hosts it. Vergo reads accounts and creditors and posts journal sets through Jiwa's REST API, with purchase invoices posted through the same API.
What does IT need to host?
Jiwa's REST API runs as a Windows service installed with Jiwa, and Jiwa recommends a dedicated virtual machine for cloud installs. Once it is reachable, Vergo handles the rest, and cardholders never need a Jiwa login.
Who uses Jiwa?
Jiwa describes its customers as wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers, and is developed in New South Wales. Card spend in those businesses comes mostly from warehouse, sales and purchasing staff. Receipts arrive by text.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vergo a Jiwa plugin?
No. There is nothing to install in Jiwa beyond enabling its own REST API plugin, which Vergo then uses.
Do other expense tools integrate with Jiwa?
None of the alternatives above lists Jiwa on its own integration pages.
Do we need new cards?
No. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change.
Does Vergo handle supplier invoices?
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.
Where are the integration details?
On the Jiwa Financials integration page.
