SoftLedger AP and expense capabilities at a glance
| Capability | In SoftLedger? | What the documentation shows |
|---|---|---|
| Bank feeds | Yes | Bank accounts link through Plaid for automatic transaction retrieval, with about 60 days of history on the first link. |
| Credit card feeds | Yes | Credit card accounts connect through the same Plaid flow (Add Bank/CC) and import as bank transactions to code. |
| AP automation (invoice capture and processing) | Yes | AP Inbox takes vendor invoice PDFs sent to a company-specific email address, uses AI to extract invoice number, dates, amounts and vendor, and creates bills for review. |
| Receipt capture and mobile expenses | No | SoftLedger has no native receipt-capture or mobile expense app in its help center. It points customers to third-party expense tools (an Expensify integration and a Ramp partnership) for this. |
| Expense claim approvals | No | There is no native expense-report or reimbursement workflow. |
| Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments) | Yes | Native AP Bill Approvals use an ordered approval policy that matches bills on amount, vendor, location, account, currency, dates or custom fields, with user or role approvers, required approval counts and sequential steps. |
What to budget for
- Receipt capture and mobile expenses (no): employee expense management app with receipt capture and corporate card with expense platform.

Where Vergo fits with SoftLedger
Vergo integrates with SoftLedger and posts coded card spend into it; for SoftLedger, the live integration covers expense management. 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 location, ledger account, cost center and job, 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.
