Foundation Software AP and expense capabilities at a glance
| Capability | In Foundation Software? | What the documentation shows |
|---|---|---|
| Bank feeds | Not publicly documented | Not in Foundation Software's public documentation; confirm with Foundation Software. |
| Credit card feeds | Partly | The core ledger supports credit card GL accounts with reconciliation, and AP invoices can be paid by credit card, but no import of existing card statements was found. However, card transactions flow in automatically only for cards issued through FOUNDATION Pay Corporate Card, a separate expense and payment product that pushes coded transactions into FOUNDATION. |
| AP automation (invoice capture and processing) | Yes | An AI A/P Automation tool, released May 2024 as part of the FOUNDATION Pay platform, extracts header and line-item data from invoices and routes them to approvers before posting to FOUNDATION. |
| Receipt capture and mobile expenses | Partly | Receipt capture exists only for FOUNDATION Pay Corporate Card: cardholders get a text after each swipe, reply with a receipt photo and code it to G/L, project and cost code. |
| Expense claim approvals | Partly | FOUNDATION Pay Corporate Card, a separate product, offers approval workflows for card spend that follow the org chart. However, no native out-of-pocket expense report or reimbursement workflow was found. |
| Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments) | Yes | Document Imaging provides automated routing and approval of invoices and other documents with inbox alerts. |

Where Vergo fits with Foundation Software
Vergo integrates with Foundation Software and posts coded entries into it. It works with any card from any bank — connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. 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. The proposal covers the job, phase and cost code, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account, by amount, or by project — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule. 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.
