How Vertuoza unlocked accounting automation with Chift’s integrations

Vertuoza turned to Chift to solve their integration challenges. In fact, Vertuoza was Chift’s first client back in 2022!

Vertuoza is a construction ERP platform tailored for the construction industry. It was born from real-world needs: a custom solution initially created for a construction company that quickly evolved into a platform serving construction businesses in Belgium, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Their teams help construction businesses streamline their operations, offering tools to manage everything from quoting to invoicing and project tracking. Vertuoza even goes a step further with its financial analytics capabilities, allowing construction companies to track profitability per project, understand their costs in real-time, and make smarter decisions about their business.

Many of Vertuoza’s clients are moving away from chaotic workflows:

• Managing projects through scattered Excel files and WhatsApp messages.
• Lacking a clear overview of financials or profitability during a project.
• Struggling to bridge the communication gap between their teams, clients, and suppliers.

As Vertuoza grew, the team identified the need to be integrated with accounting but their focus is to offer the best construction ERP tool they can:

“We don't want to be an accounting software. We never will be” Emilie Verdonck, Product Owner

How to seamlessly integrate its platform with the accounting tools its clients relied on? They needed to:

1. Integrate with diverse accounting tools: Clients in different markets use a wide variety of systems, each with unique requirements.
2. Ensure accurate, real-time data sharing: From invoices to supplier expenses, Vertuoza needed to sync financial data in both directions without errors.
3. Do it all efficiently: Building and maintaining integrations in-house is time-consuming and costly.

“it's very complicated to interface directly with software. It's very costly and very complicated to implement. And so, thanks to Chift, we can have a panel of software that we integrate with.” Guillaume Renault, Senior Customer Success Manager

‍

Vertuoza decided to use our Unified API model for maximum flexibility and control. They integrated our Unified Accounting API, unlocking integrations with all accounting tools included in our API.

This integration allowed Vertuoza to send invoices generated within their ERP directly to multiple accounting software.

Key functionalities provided by Chift’s solution:

• Client Invoice Synchronization: Automatically transfers invoices from Vertuoza to the client’s accounting software.
• Supplier Invoice Integration: Allows supplier invoices to flow from the accounting tool into Vertuoza, linking them to specific construction jobs for precise profitability analytics.
• Ready for Expansion with a Single API: With Chift’s Unified API, Vertuoza can connect to accounting used in several European countries. And each time accounting tools are added to Chift’s Accounting API, they also get access to them.

“When we want to integrate with another software, we have to almost become experts of the other software, even though we don't work there or we don't have access to all the documentation. Chift does this work for us. It's incredible.” Emilie Verdonck, Product Owner

The results speak for themselves:

Time and Resource Savings

A single API handles connections to multiple accounting tools. Chift also reduces the dependency on in-house expertise for understanding third-party systems.

“It's very easy for us as customer success, for salespeople, and at the technical team level too” Guillaume Renault, Senior Customer Success Manager

Maintenance, updates, and API changes from third-party tools are managed by Chift, reducing Vertuoza’s workload:

"We don't have to adapt if an API changes or anything. You handle it.” Guillaume Renault, Senior Customer Success Manager

Enhanced User Experience

Clients save time by avoiding double data entry and accountants love the seamless transfer of data, which reduces errors and speeds up financial processes.

Improved Financial Insights

Two-way syncing ensures that all costs, from supplier invoices to on-site expenses, are tracked and linked to specific projects. Construction businesses also get profitability analytics, helping them manage budgets and improve decision-making.

More signed deals

Prospects prefer construction ERP solutions that connect to the current accounting tools they use.

“When we have a prospect who uses software that Chift interfaces with, and therefore we interface with as well, it makes things easier. It's great for sales.” Guillaume Renault, Senior Customer Success Manager

Conclusion

By leveraging Chift’s Unified API, Vertuoza has transformed how they handle integrations, freeing up their team to focus on innovation and customer success. It’s a partnership that continues to deliver value—for both Vertuoza and the construction companies they serve.
