What should an expense add-on do for TruckMate?
- Reach terminal and shop staff by text, not an app.
- Post to TruckMate's AP through Trimble's API.
- Stay out of dispatch-driven flows like driver pay and fuel tax.
- Keep your cards.
How should a carrier compare add-ons?
Carriers already run driver pay and fuel tax through TruckMate, so an add-on should cover what is left: company cards used by terminals, shops and the office. Ask each vendor how it posts to TruckMate, what licence it needs, and how receipts are collected from a mechanic who is under a truck. The answer to that last question decides how many receipts reach the controller.
How does Vergo connect to TruckMate?
Where your TruckMate licence includes Trimble's Finance API, Vergo reads your GL and posts coded card spend to Accounts Payable through it. Transactions are ready to code the moment they happen — no waiting for clearing — and once they clear, they sync into TruckMate.
