We’re elated to announce that Vergo has successfully raised $9 million as part of a funding round to automate expense management for the construction industry! Led by CRV and Valar and with participation from Nine Four Ventures, Forum Ventures, and Wischoff Ventures, this investment marks a pivotal step in Vergo’s journey and our team couldn’t be more excited to invest this money to better serve our customer base.

The challenge in numbers: The construction industry grapples with an immense expense management challenge. The average construction company faces the daunting task of coding over 500 credit card transactions per month and typically uses over 3 credit cards to manage their business. With most ERPs requiring at least 4 accounting codes enriched per transaction and a receipt attachment for an audit trail, this translates to a staggering 30,000 manual data entries per year.

Enter Vergo - the future of expense management for construction companies that harnesses the powers of artificial intelligence to streamline the entire process from the second a transaction is made, to the uploading into your ERP system.

We proudly serve a growing clientele in the construction sector, who trust our solution to untangle their intricate expense management processes. Our unwavering commitment is to save these businesses both time and money. This fresh infusion of capital equips us to further refine our software, ensuring it remains an unparalleled, bespoke solution for the construction industry.
