When does a landlord outgrow Post Expense?
A landlord who makes every purchase can scan receipts as they go. Once handymen, leasing agents or a property manager's staff hold cards, the receipts are in other people's pockets. That is the gap Vergo closes. 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 Rentec Direct?
A manager generates an API key in Rentec Direct, which the Open API allows on Pro and PM plans. Vergo reads your accounts and posts each confirmed purchase as an expense transaction with its receipt file. Transactions are ready to code the moment they happen — no waiting for clearing — and once they clear, they sync into Rentec Direct.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Vergo work on the Starter plan?
Rentec Direct includes the Open API on Pro and PM plans, which is what Vergo uses.
Can we keep using the receipt scanner?
Yes, though Vergo reads receipts itself, so most teams stop scanning by hand.
Will Bank Sync still work?
Yes. Bank Sync on Pro and PM plans matches card charges to the expenses Vergo has posted, so reconciliation stays inside Rentec Direct.
Do we need new cards?
No. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change.
Does Vergo handle vendor 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.
